• Trim the excess lines

RESULT:

Line Diagram of a two bedroom building:

• Open AutoCad and type QNEW
• Click on imperial<advance setup<decimal
• Set precision to 0.00,angle to decimal degree
• Type ds in command box
• Snap spacing(x and y spacing)=0.5
• Grid spacing(x and y spacing)=0.5
• Select polyline from ribbon and create bedroom of 3.6*3.6
• Command POLY and click a point then move the cursor towards south and give 0.9 units
• Now move the cursor to west and give 3.6 units
• Move to north and give distance of 3.6 units and then move to east and give 3.6 units and finally to south with 1.8 units
• The step outline is created using LINE tool
• Now from the corner point of 1.8 units draw a vertical line at a distance of 0.9 units
• MOve the cursor to east and give distance of 1 unit
• Move to south with 0.9 unit
• Now draw living room is drawing using polyline also
• Give command POLY from the last point and then start the polyline
• Give 4.2 units in east
• Now move to south and go 3.6 units
• Move to west and go 3.6 units
• Create outline step again
• Specify command LINE select the last point drawn
• Move to south and go 0.9 units
• Move to west and go 1 units
• Move to north and go 0.9 units
• Create the steps using offset with using command OFFSET and give 0.3 units distance by selecting object
• Click on multiple and move the cursor to the direction where it is to be drawn
• Repeat for other side also

RESULT:

Isometric view of steps :

• Open AutoCad and type QNEW
• Click on imperial<advance setup<decimal
• Set precision to 0.00,angle to decimal degree
• Type ds in command box
• Activate the isometric view from the toggle bar then snap off<grid off . Make sure ortho is on
• From isometric drafting select isoplane left
• Select line tool from ribbon and move towards west by 1 units
• Move towards north by 0.15 units
• Move towards east and go 1 unit and south by 0.15 unit
• Change the isometric drafting to isoplane top
• Move the cursor to back and give 0.3 unit from the last drawn point
• Move to front and go 0.3 unit
• Change the isometric drafting to isoplane right
• Copy the object with ortho off
• Command 'co' and specify the base point and place it to new point and repeat for 4 steps
• With isoplane right draw a horizontal distance of 0.3 unit from starting point of stair
• Draw a vertical distance of 0.15 unit from the last stair
• Join the two point with ortho off and the stair is drawn

RESULT:

Isometric view of gable wall:

• Open AutoCad and type QNEW
• Click on imperial<advance setup<decimal
• Set precision to 0.00,angle to decimal degree
• Type ds in command box
• Activate the isometric view from the toggle bar then snap off<grid off . Make sure ortho is on.
• Select line tool from ribbonand move cursor to left by 1 unit
• With cursor pointing upwards give 3 unit
• Draw 3 units to right and 3 units downward
• Select isoplane right then take line from ribbon and draw a line upwards 2.42 units from the starting point
• Draw 1 unit towards the right and 2.42 unit downwards
• Click on end point and close the figure
• Change to isoplane left and draw 0.3 unit as thickness on the left side
• Give the thickness of opening with isoplane left 0.3 units towards left and 2.12 units upwards
• Extend the thickness line of opening 1.13 units upward and 3.25 units from bottom
• With ortho off,draw the line between the corner of left side and the projected line done just before this step
• Draw it to other side also till it meets the right corner
• Draw the vertical line with ortho on to join the centre portion and erase the projected and horizontal lines
• Copy both the inclined lines and join the right end.
