3)

AIM:

• To create plan views for ground floor level and first-floor level including all the walls, floors, and components.

NORTH:

EAST:

WEST:

SOUTH:

FINAL RESULT:

The elevation views, looking at the building from East, North, South, and West were created using Elevation Tab.

7)

AIM:

• To produce section cut through each room either cutting across longitudinally or in a transverse direction.

PROCEDURE:

• To create section view of the model select View tab-> Section and a line is drawn to define the required sectional view.
• A sectional line is drawn both longitudinally and transversely as required.

• Once the Section line is defined it is saved as Section views and can be accessed from the Project browser.

• To view the Sections created open they are opened by selecting them from Property browser.
• The created sections are displayed below.

Transverse section:

Longitudinal Section:
