In this blog we’ll discuss on how to create 3D walkthrough in AutoCAD. But first of all, I would like to give you a short introduction of AutoCAD. AutoCAD is a very popular software. It allows you to draw and edit 2D and 3D designs. It is mostly used in engineering sector, like mechanical, electrical, and architecture, and many more sectors. 

Now we are discussing the main topic of our blog: 3D walkthrough in AutoCAD.

3D Walkthrough and how does it work

3D walkthrough is an important system. It has the power to show any model plan or structure in 360 degree and realistic way. This is a type of 3D virtual tour. Walkthrough is a process in which digital artists can also make virtual tours of parts of objects. It allows you can also make virtual tour or see a place without being physically present. 

Benefits of 3D Walkthrough

It is very important to master walkthrough creation while using or learning architecture interior design course. There is a huge demand for showing virtual tour to the 3D model to clients. They can see any model sitting at home and can easily discuss on changes if they want. We use 3D walkthrough not just for buying but also for designing your home. 

Thus, mastering this art is really important. 

With the speed of technology, architect and interior designers need to do extra development to impress our clients and to grow up their career. Along with sketches and mockups they will have to add new techniques like 3D walkthrough animation.

Enhanced Visualization 

It is one of the most important advantages of 3D walkthrough. It has the capability to provide wonderful virtualization. Just like 2D planning and static picture, this technology provides an idea to help the client experience the space as if the vehicle is physically present in real life. 

Walkthrough animation helps us to visualize better on 3D render. We can present our view in a better way.

Increased Engagement

3D walkthrough helps in making a good impression on client for architect and interior designers. Client easily gets engaged with the project as they can actually see the output. The 3D rendering walkthrough is very attractive as it highlights the areas that are most liked.

And this level of attractive designing process makes the client more attached to the project and helps the client to have a strong feelings or imagination. The one who is able to see his future, his love and affection often helps in taking the right decision. 

Cost and Time Efficiency

3D walkthrough saves time or cost both in designing because we can identify the problems before the exact construction work starts. We can easily recognize the problem in the structure through it.

Steps to Create 3D Walkthrough in AutoCAD

Here are a few steps to follow to create 3D walkthrough in AutoCAD:

• First open a view in which to place the walkthrough path.
• Select view tab and create panel 3D view walkthrough.
• Create a walkthrough on an orthographic 3D view.
• Place a different key frame. 
• We can place the main frame at any place but cannot change the path. Also, we cannot change the state of the path.
• Complete the walkthrough double click then end the path and press EscL.
