Aim : To draw cross section of wall over footing.

commands used:

• line
• rectangle
• trim

Procedure :

Step 1 : Create rectangle by typing REC in the command box

• specify the first corner point as ( 5,5 )
• specify the length of rectangle = 0.9 units in the command box
• specify width of rectangle = 0.25 units in the command box

Step:2 create another rectangle REC in command box

• specify the first corner point which is 0.2 units from the starting point of first rectangle
• Enter the length of rectangle as 0.5 units the width of rectangle as 0.4 units

Step 3 : create the third rectangle command REC

• specify the first cornerr point which is 0.05 units from the starting point of the second rectangle
• enter the length of rectangle as 0.4 units the width of rectangle as 0.4 units

Step 4 : create the third rectangle command REC

• specify the first cornerr point which is 0.05 units from the starting point of the second rectangle
• enter the length of rectangle as 0.4 units the width of rectangle as 0.4 units
• close the end line.

step 5: Line is drawn from the corner of third rectangle , command L

• give the length as 1.15 units
• move the cursor down wards and give value 0.15 units and right and give length as 1.15 units.

step 6 : fourth rectangle is drawn , command REC

• specify the first corner point at a distance of 0.05 from the third rectangle
• give the length 0.3 and width as 0.6
• trim the extra line by using trim command in rectangle drawn

step 7 : from the line drawn in step 4, at the distance of 0.3 draw another line with the distance of 0.15 units vertically and 0.3 units horizontally.

• continue it two more times until 3 steps are created

step 8 : draw another rectangle above fourth rectangle command REC

• specify the corner point as the corner of the fourth rectangle
• click on dimensions give length as 0.3 units and width as 0.05 units
• click on dimensions give length as 0.3 units and width as 1 unit.
• erase the unwanted lines by using trim command

RESULT : The cross section of load bearing wall over spread footing is drawn

Cross section of an isolated footing

Aim : To draw c/s of an isolated footing

commands used :

• line
• offset
• trim

procedure :

step 1 : draw a line with command L and give 1 units.

• give command L and give relative coordinates as @ 0, 0.15
• give the next coordinates as @0.38,0.25
• next coordinates is given as @0,1.6
• give @0.28,0
• next coordinates @0,-1.6
• next coordinates @0.38,-0.25
• next @0,-0.15 or close

step 2 draw an offset with the command at a distance of 0.04 from the bottom line to upwards

• give the command of O and select the object and give the offset distance as 0.04
• do the same at the right and left bottom end
• trim the unwanted lines

step 3 : give offset from the top line with an offset distance of 0.2 units

• give the command O an select the object give the offset distance as 0.2 select multiple option a 9 such lines
• trim the excess lines.

RESULT : C/S of isolated footing is drawn.

LINE DIAGRAM OF TWO BEDROOM BUILDING:

Aim : To draw the line diagram of two bedroom building .

procedure :

step 1 :

• here we create the bedroom of ( 3.6 x 3.6 ) using the polyline command
• using the polyline command, click the point and give the coordinates as (@0,-0.9)
• then after take the coordinates as (@-3.6,0)
• next we have to take the coordinates as ( @0,3.0)
• next we have to take coordinates as (@3.6, 0)
• then after the coordinates as (@0,-1.8)

step 2 :

• then we have to create the stairs using the line command.
• here from the corner point of the top right side of line we take the coordinates as (@0,0.9) the line goes towards the y axis
• next we take the coordinates as (@1,0) the line goes towards the +y direction
• then after we take the coordinates as (@0,-0.9) the line goes towards the -y axis

step 3 :

• here we draw the living room using the polyline command.
• now we take the coordinates as (@4.2,0) at the ;ast point of the stairs which we have drawn in the step 2
• then after tke the coordinates as (@0,-3.6 ) the lines moves towards the -y axis
• afterwards we take the coordinates as (@-3.6,0) the line goes towards the -x axis

step 4:

• now we create the stairs as similarly as we created in step 2
• let us take a point which have drawn at last in step 3
• at that point we take coordinates as (@0,-0.9) the line moves towards the -y direction
• then after we take coordinates as (@-1,0) the lines move towards the -x axis
• now take the coordinates as (@0,0.9) the line moves towards the +y direction

step 5:

• finally we use offset command for creating the stairs.
• take the offset command with dimensions of 0.3 units, then select the object for offsetting
• do the offset continously two times more for the both sides of the stairs

RESULT :

THE LINE DIAGRAM OF TWO BEDROOM BUILDING IS DRAWN SUCCESSFULLY.

CROSS SECTION OF LOAD BEARING WALL SHOWING FOUNDATION DETAILS

AIM : To draw the c/s of load bearing wall showing foundation details

commands used :

• line
• rectangle
• trim

procedure :

step 2 : create another rectangle REC in command box

• specify the first corner point which is 0.15 units from the starting point of first rectangle
• enter the length of rectangle as 0.6 units the width of rectangle as 0.4 units

• specify the first corner point which is 0.05 units from the starting point of second rectangle
• enter the length of rectangle as 0.5 units the width of rectangle as 0.3 units

step 4 : create the fourth rectangle command REC

• specify the first corner point which is 0.05 units from the starting point of second rectangle
• enter the length of rectangle as 0.4 units the width of rectangle as 0.6 units

step 5: drawn the fifth rectangle command REC

• specify the corner point as the corner of fourth rectangangular
• click on dimensions give length as 0.3 units and with as 1 unit
• erase the un wanted line by using trim command

RESULT : THE C/S OF LOAD BEARING WALL FOUNDATION DETAILS IS SHOWN

ISOMETRIC VIEW OF STEPS :

AIM : TO draw the isometric view of steps

commands used :

• line
• isometric plane

procedure :

1. To work with isometric view command DS - snap off, grid off and put isometric snap on

2. Make sure that ortho mode is on.

step 1 : from the isometric drafting select iso-plane left

• give command L and moving the cursor to -x direction give 1 unit
• moving the cursor to +y direction ( top ) give 0.15 units
• moving cursor to +x direction again give 1 unit and cursor to -y direction ( downwards ) give 0.15 unit

step 2 : change the isometric drafting to iso plane top

• move the cursor to back and give 0.3 units from the last drawn point.
• move the cursor to right direction and give 1 unit.
• move the cursor to front and give 0.3 unit

step 3 : change the isometric drafting iso-plane right

• copy the object drawn ortho off
• command CO and specify the base point and place it to new point
• repeat it until 4 steps are formed

step 4 : with iso plane right join the two ends with ortho off

RESULT : THE STEPS ARE DRAWN IN ISOMETRIC VIEW

ISOMETRIC VIEW OF GABLE WALL.

• LINE
• ISOMETRIC PLANE

PROCEDURE :

1. To work with isometric view commands ds - snap off, grid off , put isometric snap on

2. make sure that ortho mode is on

step 1 : from isometric drafting select iso plane left

• give command L and moving the cursor to right give 1 unit
• pointing the cursor upward give 3 units
• draw 0.3 units to left and 3 units downward and 0.3 units to left

step 2 : using isometric right take line comand and draw line upward of 2.42 units from the starting point of step1

• draw 1 unit toward the right and 2.42 units downwards.
• using isometric left again, using line command draw 0.3 units to left side and draw a line which intersect the top line

step 3: using isometric right with the line command draw 1.0 unit to right side and 3.0 units upward

step 4 : by using the line command draw a line from bottom left corner @1.5 units and extend line 4 units upward i.e total 3.25 units from bottom

step 5 : with ortho off, draw a line between the corner of left side and the projected line done in step 4

• draw it to the other side also till it meets the right corner.

step 6 : draw the vertical line with ortho on @0.3 and join the vertical line using line from left and right end same as in the step 5 remove unwanted lines by using erase.

RESULT : THE ISOMETRIC VIEW OF GABLE WALL IS DRAWN
