Creating a Floor plan, Footing detail and Isometric view using AutoCad

CROSS SECTION OF LOAD BEARING WALL SHOWING FOUNDATION DETAILS

AIM:

To draw c/s of load bearing wall showing foundation details.

COMMANDS USED:

• Line
• Offset
• Trim

PROCEDURE:

• Create line by typing “L” in command box.
• Point the cursor at any desired point for length and type @0.90,0 and offset it at opposite side
• Again, for width mention @0,0.45 and offset it at opposite side
• Specify next points and use offsets for required segments
• Use trim option by typing “TR” command box, erase the unwanted segments where ever it is necessary
• Create dimensions by selecting in Ribbon section or by typing “Dim” in command box for the required length, width and spacing.

RESULT: The c/s of load bearing wall showing foundation details is drawn.

CROSS SECTION OF LOAD BEARING WALL OVER STEPPED FOOTING

AIM:

To draw c/s of load bearing wall over stepped footing

COMMANDS USED:

• Line
• Rectangle
• Trim

PROCEDURE:

• Create rectangle by typing “rec” in command box.
• Specify length of rectangle as 0.9 units in command box
• Specify width of rectangle as 0.25 units in command box
• Create another rectangle of desired length and width as required in command box and repeat the process
• Draw lines by typing “L” in command box or from tool bar where ever line is required to be drawn.
• Use trim option by typing “TR” command box, erase the unwanted segments where ever it is necessary
• Create dimensions by selecting in Ribbon section or by typing “Dim” in command box for the required length, width and spacing.

RESULT: The c/s of load bearing wall over stepped footing is drawn

CROSS SECTION OF AN ISOLATED FOOTING

AIM:

To draw c/s of an isolated footing

COMMANDS USED:

• Line
• offset
• Trim

PROCEDURE:

• Create line by typing “L” in command box and give 1 units
• By using relative coordinates by typing ‘L’ in command box and enter @0,0.15
• Give the next command as @0.38,0.25
• Next coordinate is given as @0,1.6
• Repeat the same process until bottom portion is attained
• Draw offset by typing ‘O’ in command box and offset the segments where ever it is necessary
• Trim the unwanted lines.

RESULT: The c/s of an isolated footing is drawn.

LINE DIAGRAM FOR TWO BEDROOM BULIDING

AIM: To draw line diagram for two bedroom building

COMMANDS USED:

• Line
• Rec
• offset
• Trim

PROCEDURE:

• Create a rectangle of size (8.2*3.6)
• Type ‘o’ in command box and specify the distance of 3.6 units for left bottom end
• Draw an offset using command ‘o’ and specify the distance of 4.2 units from left bottom end.
• For steps offset for value 0.3 and 1 units respectively for both top and bottom of the rooms.
• Trim the unwanted lines.
• Using command line draw a line at a distance of 3.2 units from left bottom end to upwards 0.9 units
• Using command line draw a line at a distance of 3.2 units from left bottom end to downwards 1.8 units

RESULT: The line diagram for two-bedroom building is drawn.

ISOMETRIC VIEWS FOR STEPS

AIM:

To draw isometric views for steps.

COMMANDS USED:

• Line
• Isometric planes

PROCEDURE:

• To work with isometric view, in command type ‘ds’ - snap off, grid off. Put isometric view on.

• Ortho mode should be on

• Now by ‘l’ command move the cursor to x- axis and give one unit and offset it at a distance above for 0.15

• From that point take line command and use polar coordinates of @30<30

• Repeat the process until 4 steps are achieved.

RESULT: The steps are drawn in isometric view.

ISOMETRIC VIEWS FOR GABLE WALL

AIM:

To draw isometric views for gable walls.

COMMANDS USED:

• Line
• Isometric planes

PROCEDURE:

• To work with isometric view, in command type ‘ds’ - snap off, grid off. Put isometric view on.

• Ortho mode should be on

• Now by ‘l’ command move the cursor to x- axis and give one unit

• Pointing the cursor upward give 3units.

• Draw 0.3 units to left and 3 units downwards and 0.3 units to left.

• Draw 0ne unit towards right side and 2.42 units downwards.

• Using line command draw 0.3 units to left side and draw a line which intersects the top side.

• Repeat the process until right downward is achieved

• Draw vertical line with ortho on @0.3 and join vertical line using line from left and right end same the process explained above

• Remove unwanted lines by using trim or erase.

RESULT: The Isometric views for gable wall is drawn.
