The best way to make a model from this 2D drawing

Hi, like you saw I'm new in the AutoCAD world. So I'm here asking for some help.

I need to creat a 3D model from this picture, but i don't know the best way to make this. So, I'm here requesting from your help.

Thanks.

Best regards.

Here is the picture:

Well it might help if you had some dimensions and an idea of the structural shapes you might be using. Do you have this information?

Do you have any 3D experience at all?

What kind of 2D experience do you have? How long have you been using AutoCAD?

Yes i have some experience. I'm thinking about doing like i make in 3d studio max. I need to make 2D and convert this to 3d drawing. I'll upload more specifications, see next picture:

ps: i need to make something like drawing a cube in 2d and convert this to 3d, this process will be very helpful for me.

Basic 3D shapes, called primitives, are available in AutoCAD in your default AutoCAD 3D workspace. You know how to access it?

I know nothing about 3ds Max.

In AutoCAD 2D objects can be extruded or you can use the sweep or press-pull commands on them. Solids can be unioned (joined together) or they can be subtracted from one another. You can also use the intersect command to retrieve the shared volume of two or more solids. Then there are the solids editing tools. Examples are move faces, offset faces, and taper faces. Slice is another great tool for slicing objects. There are many more commands but that gives you a taste of what's available.

I ask again, do you know what structural shapes you'll be utilizing? Beam shapes, round, square or rectangular tube shapes? How about angles or Z-angles?

I also think you'll need more dimensions then what you have provided so far.

i dont know, can you give me a light? the other dimensions is up to my group to diced, so we can put anything right now. i think you can put the dimensions you think is better, this is a University work, so they send us this dimensions and the other i can invent.

Give you a light?

If you need instructions on working with 3D solids then see the link above. JDM has put together some very good tutorials.

If you need input on structural shapes I can only offer minimal help as I deal exclusively with Imperial sizes and not metric. But this forum has members from all over the world meaning there will be others that can step in to provide you with any necessary information you require.

Here are some suggestions... I would say the Mast and the Jib a little complicated but if you can get that accomplished the rest will be easy.

I made the mast in eight foot sections extruding the outer frames and cross members. (I still have to add the bolts on the mount plate).

The Jib is a triangular truss with supports at different angles.

Now I have to finish it.
