Result: The cross section of load bearing wall is drawn.
Cross section of an isolated footing.
Aim: To draw cross section of an isolated footing .
Commands used:
- line
- offset
Procedure: Select line command from keyboard by typing shortcut "L"
Specify first point: 1,1
Specify next point : @1,0
Specify next point : @0,.15
Specify next point : @-.38,.40
Specify next point : @0,1.6
Specify next point : @-.24,0
Specify next point : @0,-1.6
Specify next point : @-.38,-.4
Specify next point : C
After drawing outter elements of drawing let's select another point using line command,
Specify first point: (1.04,1.04)
Specify next point : @.38,0
Specify next point : @0,2.11
Specify next point : @.16,0
Specify next point : @0,-2.11
Specify next point : @.38,0
Specify next point :c and escape.
to draw the elements i between the footing lets use offset command and provide offset distance as(.20).
and repeat the command as required.
Result: The cross section of an isolated footing is drawn.
Aim:To draw line diagram of two bedroom building.
Command used:
- line
- offset
Procedure: Select line command using shortcut "L" from keyboard.
specify first corner :(1,1)
- using relative coordinate system specify next point:@3.6,0
- specify next point :0,-.9
- specify next point:1,0
- specify next point:0,.9
- specify next point:4.2,0
- specify next point:0,3.6
- specify next point:-4.2,0
- specify next point:0,.9
- specify next point:-1,0
- specify next point:0,-.9
- specify next point:0,-3.6
- specify next point :c
using offset command select offset distance as (.3) and repeat it two times in -y direction and two times in y direction.
select line command and specify:(4.60,1)
- specify next point: @0,.9 (press enter ad esc)
select line command and specify:(4.60,4.60)
- specify next point :@0,-1.8
- press enter and esc.
Result:Line diagram of two bedroom building is drawn.
Aim: To draw isometric view of steps.
Commands used:
- isometric plane.
- lines
Procedure: To draw isometric drawing we use "ds"-snap off,grid off. And put isometric snap on.
- make ortho mode on.
- From isometric drafting select iso-plane left.
- Give command "l" and moving the cursor to -x direction give 1 unit.
- move the cursor to ydirection (top) and give.15 unit.
- move the cursor to x direction and give 1unit and cursor to y direction and give .15 unit (downward).
- Now change the isometric drafting to isoplan top.
- move the cursor back and give .3 unit ,move the cursor right and give 1 unit , again move the cursor front and give .3 units.
- use copy command and select all the elements , copy the selected object and specify the base point .
- repeat it until 5 steps are formed.
with isoplane right join the two ends with ortho off.
Result: The steps are drawn in isometric view.
Aim: To draw isometric view of gabble wall.
Command used:
- line
- isometric plane
- trim
- ds
Procedure:To draw isometric drawing we use "ds"-snap off,grid off. And put isometric snap on.Command: line
