INTRODUCTION:

Floor plan:

Floor plan is two dimensional drawing to scale that shows a room or building from above. It is indicates the relationshipes between rooms on one level of a structure. Architects use floor plans as tool to design buldings. Later,they are describe buildings to those involved in the construction process.

Footing:

Footing is a part of foundation which is constructed with concrete or brick work masonry & acts as a base to the floor columns & floor walls.The main function of footing is to transfer the vertical load directly to the soil.

Isometric:

Isometric snap is 3D view in which lines are inclined at 30 degree to x-axs.

Various commands & tools used are:

• Line
• Rectangle
• Trime
• Offset
• Isometric plane
• Dimension
• Text
• Copy
