Where do I find the 3d modelling toolbars?

Hello.

I am currently using AutoCAD architecture 2012, student version.

I would like to try a bit of modelling, but this version has no 3d modelling workspace and I can by no means find the appropriate toolbars.

Does anybody have a clue?

Thank you.

Any chance you are already in a 3D workspace and just don't realize it?

 

Did you click on "Workspace settings" to see what was available?

OK. Looks like you have a lot of choices......as long as it is Architecture.

 

Then I would suspect you are already in a 3D workspace and haven't realized it yet.

If you want the vanilla AutoCAD 3D modeling tools you must start AutoCAD Architecture as AutoCAD.

Go to Start>Autodesk>AutoCAD Architecture>Run as AutoCAD.

 

The problem is that you are not running AutoCAD.

You are running AutoCAD Architecture that runs on top of AutoCAD.

You need to be running the vanilla AutoCAD profile.

Thank you for the answer. But could you maybe give me another path or way? I have windows 8, so no Start. I tried Local disk C > Program Files > Autodesk, but could not find it...

While you are in AutoCAD architecture, right click the very top of the ribbon. go to show tabs. you should see all the ribbon panels with check marks next to the ones that are turned on. By default solid, surface, and parametric are not checked. check the one you want.

I think this is what you are looking for?
