Again offset the line through 1' for the steps and press enter.
And pick the mid point and draw the line of croos sections, and press enter to exist.
Give the arrow line to identify the upwards and downwards to the stairs.
Now, complete the full floor plan without layers.
And create the doors, then move to drag the object then fix it.
Give the dimensions command and press enter ,
pick the lines enter it.
Step 12:
Type the MTExt command and press enter ,
pick the point and type the tiles and names.
Finally,
give all texts, dimensions are it.
STEP 13:
LAYER MANAGEMENT:
ABOUT LAYERS:
Layers are the primary tools for organizing the objects in a drawing by their function purpose.
layers are used to reduced the visual compexity of a drawing and improve display performance
by hiding the information that user does not need to see now. It is a good practice to create
the set of layers related to the work before you start drawing. Usesrs can seperate layers for
items like lines, dimensions, annotations and hatches and so on. Similarly, in a house plan,
the user can layer for the foundation, floor plan, doors, fixtures, electrical and so on.
STEP 14:
Open the building floor plan.dwg file .
And, Type LA in the command box and press enter, the layer properties manager appears.
Now, a new layer is created with name as Layer 1.
Now, a new layer is created with name as wall.
STEP15:
Repeat the same procedure and create all necessary layers with the given properties in the layer property table.
Create the layer are as shown in figure.
Step 16:
Adding objects into appropriate layers.
SElect the outer line from the drawing.
Then select the wall layer and press enter.
STEP 17:
Again repeat the same process to create the window layers, DIMENSIONS LAYERS , INNER WALLS, STAIRS , TEXTS, SLABS ,ETC...,
RESULT:
A RESIDENCE OF FLOOR PLAN IN AutoCAD Software(with layers) and ALL DIMENSIONS IN INCHES.

Select the base point and press enter.
Again type circle command and pick center,radius and press enter to draw the cirlce in the center point of the 1st circle.
Then, draw the rectangle area 650 and press enter.
Type fillet command and press enter.
Select the base point and give radius 100 and click the select the objects and press enter.
Type the arc command and, select the points to drop the arc an dpress enter.

Type the offset the lines through 40mm and press enter.
Again Trim the lines and press enter.
And complete the chair model.
Select the model to copy it.
Type the copy command and press enter.
Type the rotate command and press enter, select the object to rotate.
Finally, move the object to the circle.
And type erase command and press enter to erase the center circle .
Give the Dimension command in it.
Type the layer command and press enter.
now, a new layer is created with name as Layer 1.
Now, a new layer is created with name as canopy,chairs,etc..,
RESULT:
Finally complete the task in layers.
AIM:
To Sketch the part plan for the toilers and utilities room.
