Creating a Floor plan, Footing detail and Isometric view using AutoCad
Aim : To draw the c.s of the load bearing wall over the spread footing, c.s of the isolated footing, line diagram of the two bedroom building and isometric view using the autocad.
INTRODUCTION :
Autocad globally used by architects, engineers ,fashion designers etc for drawing the planing of the structures, machine drawing etc. by using the various commands we can draw the building drawing and the machine drawing. In this challenge we get in touch with various commands like line, polyline, rectangle etc for the drawing of the load bearing wall over the spread footing, isolated footing, line diagram of two bedroom building, isometric view.
