Use the MV command to create the viewport of the size as shown in Figure. Also, use ATTEDIT command to edit the information in the title block. Use A1 size for the layout. Take a plot.
Aim: To create the layout for floor plan, section AA as shown in the figure
Introduction: The floor plan given is of an apartment building with same plan for 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors. Each floor consists of four houses, three two-bedroom flats and one single bedroom flat each with kitchen and living room. Each flat has only one common bathroom. Stairs connect all the floors. Stair dimensions are taken from stair section view. The top two flats are given as flat C and flat D respectively. The section views AA and BB are drawn using projection lines from plan drawing. Dimensions and text is placed accordingly. The dimensions of doors and windows are assumed as follows
- Main Door or D as 1000mm X 2200mm
- Door 1 or D1 as 700mm X 2000mm
