new at 3d model/rendering

[ehmcheng]

Hi, I am in need of creating a solid drawing from my wireframe drawing in model space. I have never done any 3d modeling in autocad before it took me a few days just to get the wireframe of a staircase done! I have tried to render this object in viewport but it disappears after I click on it or move around, therefore I cannot see it in my paper layout. How do I make a rendered object stay? Also I want to plot this on 22x34in and 11x17in paper, how would I go about getting a high quality rendered image. I am using autocad 2010.

 

Thanks,

Erick

First things first.

 

Welcome to the CADTutor forum.

 

How exactly did you create this wireframe?

You'll have to redo it. Research the EXTRUDE and PRESSPULL commands, along with others:

Thanks! Igot tons of help from this website!

 

I created this wireframe by drawing a 2d staircase and extruding the width.

So you are working with 3D solids then right?

 

Can you attach a copy of the drawing to your next post?
