Use blueprints of a house to draw 3D model on Autocad
For a school project I am trying to take old blueprint drawings from the late 70s of houses in our city to create 3D replicas of the houses. These are split-level houses from the 70s so probably more advanced house to draw but the students can relate to these from their neighborhoods. Any good recommendations on videos to watch or ways I need to draw the split-level houses (settings, good place to start, etc.) from the blueprints we have that are original drawings from the architects from the 70s?

Hi @Anonymous ,
First: Let us see please an example blue print what you want to model. So we know what we are talking about.
Next:
- Dou you use the pure AutoCAD (and which version) or any "specialized" software vertical product?
- How detailed do you need the result: Only the outer box, or also windows, doors, roof details ond so on. Or also the inner details (rooms, stairs, ...).
- Which experience do you have with AutoCAD and with 3D modelling ?
Tell us a bit more what you have and what you want to achieve ...

Or you could go to the expense of scanning each sheet to PDF, has each student attached the PDF into a blank DWG file, then literally draw over it with commands like LINE and ARCH and CIRCLE etc.
There is no magic to it: its all grunt drafting work.

Did you read "I am trying ... to create 3D replicas of the houses. " (post #1 from @Anonymous ).
This will be more than only drawing lines, arcs and circles ...

Thanks for the reply and I am attaching 3 of 4 pages of the blueprints. I am only able to attach 3, the 4th page is the back and side elevations. I am using Autocad 2022 that I downloaded and have available to use for my class.

If I do the scanning and attach then trace over it I take it entering the scale provided on the blueprint and what size it shows on Autocad after importing to the drawing canvas would allow it to scale appropriately?

Sorry missed the other questions, would like to get all the details I can and don't have very much experience with the modeling program from today, I did use an old autocad version back in the late 90s but I'm guessing things have changed a little:-)
