I'm not quite sure about AutoCAD 2012 but it will be quite similar to 2011.

1. Step 1:

   Open your part in AutoCAD.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Choose line tool.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Make a line below your part.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Change the UCS so the line can be extruded in horizontal plane.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Under surfaces tab choose extrude and extrude it making the floor. Adjust it using Move gizmo.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Now go to render tab. We have to adjust some of the setting before rendering. First of all full shadows.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Now turn on the Sun for realistic shadows. Under material texture turn material texture on.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Adjust the time of the Sun.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Open material browser from render tab and apply floor tile material to the surface.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Apply plastic material to the body or whatever.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Adjust the model.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Now click on the arrow below the render button. Choose the setting of the rendering and then click render button.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    The render window will open up and the rendering will start.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Here is my final result. Looks Good!
