CE 201 COMPUTER GRAPHICS PRACTICAL 1 BASIC ELEMENTS OF MICROSTATION 2D

OBJECT: To understand the basic commands of Microstation for drawing an element, and editing it open a new project and workspace, scale, units, 2D tool box, set attribute command, change attribute command, draw tool, select tool and edit commands. Also learn how to set the units of drawing, paper size, scale and open a 2D or 3D seed file. Hint: Open a 2D seed file. Duration: one turn 1. Draw a line of a length x, then extend it by an amount y, and then trim it by an amount z. 2. Select the above line, increase its thickness and change its style or type of line (solid to dash etc). 3. Select the above line, change its colour to red, and again to blue. 4. Draw a rectangle of any dimension, and change the colour of its lines. 5. Select any of its side, delete it, and redraw the same side in different colour. 6. Copy the above rectangle to another position. 7. Move the above rectangle to another location.

1. Draw a polygon, fill it with red colour and then change it to yellow. 2. Draw a circle of any radius and center, and change its colour. 3. Fill the circle with red colour and then change it to purple. 4. Determine the perimeter and area of the above polygon and circle. 5. Draw a rectangle, mark the dimensions of each side of the rectangle. Place the dimensions above or below the dimension lines. Try various options of drawing dimension lines available in the software. 6. Draw a circle passing through three given points. Mark its radius inside the circle. 7. Draw a line and then draw a circle tangent to the line. 8. Place a sine curve with having n cycles and given amplitude and frequency.

CE 201 COMPUTER GRAPHICS PRACTICAL 3 BASIC ELEMENTS OF MICROSTATION 2D

OBJECT: To understand the basic commands of Microstation for circular fillets, chamfering, and filling with colours in certain specific zones. Learn line, smart line (for filling colours), angle bisector, modify element and B-spline (open curve and close curve), group commands. Duration: two turns

1. Draw a polygon, and draw a circle inside it. Then fill the area except the circle with red colour and then change it to green. 2. Determine the net area of the polygon without that of the circle. 3. In the above problem, fill the circle in blue colour and the rest of the outer area within the polygon with red colour. 4. Chamfer the corners of the polygon with different radii. 5. Draw a rectangle and modify the corners with fillets. 6. Draw a line. Draw another line perpendicular to it at its mid point. 7. Draw a line and draw another line at a given angle and at a give position on this line. 8. Bisect this angle in the above problem. Mark the dimension of the angle. 9. Draw B-spline curves by defining control points. Try various available options. Fill the curve with different colours. 10. Draw an ice cream cone with double scoop ice cream. Show ribs as in an ice cream cone.

Hint: learn projections, feature, modifier, cut hole Duration: two turns 1. Draw a cone and cut it with a horizontal plane. Separate the two parts. 2. Draw a cylinder and cut it with an inclined plane. Separate the two parts. 3. From a point in space, draw a perpendicular to a given plane. Find the length of this perpendicular. 4. Draw a cylinder inclined at an angle of 30o with horizontal. Take its projections on x-y, y-z and z-x planes. Verify using the principles of Engineering Graphics. 5. Draw leaves of any plant. 6. Draw a beautiful landscape view showing greenry.
