Aim: To draw C.S of load bearing showing foundation details

Tools used: Line, Rectangle, Dimension, Text, Trim.

Procedure:

Create a rectangle by using ‘REC’ command from command box
Specify the dimensions of rectangle as length=0.9, width= 0.45
Create another rectangle from the first corner point which is 0.15 units from the starting point of first rectangle
Enter length as 0.6 and width as 0.4
Create another rectangle from the first corner point which is 0.05 units from the starting point of second rectangle
Enter length as 0.5 and width as 0.3
Create another rectangle from the first corner point which is 0.05 units from the starting point of third rectangle
Enter length as 0.4 and width as 0.6
Create another rectangle from the first corner point which is 0.05 units from the starting point of fourth rectangle
Enter length as 0.3 and width as 1
Erase the unwanted line by ‘TRIM’ option.
C.S of load bearing showing foundation details is

C5: ISOMETRIC VIEW OF STEPS

Aim: To draw isometric view of steps

Tools used: Line, Isometric plane, copy.

Procedure:

On the isometric view by entering F5
Make sure Ortho mode is on
From the isometric drafting select iso-plane left
Enter command ‘I’ and move the cursor to –ve x direction and give 1 unit
Moving the cursor to y direction, give 0.15 units
Move the cursor to the +x direction, give 1 unit and cursor to –y direction, give 0.15 units
Change the isometric drafting to iso-plane top
Move the cursor back and give 0.3 units from the last drawn point
Move the cursor to the right direction and give 1 unit
Move the cursor to the front and give 0.3 units
Change the isometric drafting to iso-plane right
Ortho off and copy the object drawn
Command ‘CO’ and specify the base point and place it to new point
Copy the object 4 times and steps are formed
With iso-plane right join the two ends
Isometric view of steps is

C6: ISOMETRIC VIEW OF GABLE WALL

Aim: To draw isometric view of Gable wall

Tools used: Line, Isometric plane, Trim.

Procedure:

On the isometric view by entering F5
Make sure Ortho mode is on
From the isometric drafting select iso-plane left
Give command ‘I’ and moving the cursor to the right give 1 unit
Pointing cursor upwards give 3 units
Draw 0.3 units to left and 3 units to downwards 0.3 units to the left
Using isometric right, draw a line upwards of 2.42 units from the end point of step 1
Draw 1 unit towards right and 2.42 units downwards
Using isometric left again, draw a line of 0.3 units to left side and draw a line which intersects the top line
Using isometric right, draw a line of 1 unit to right side and 3 units upwards
Draw a line at @1.5 from starting point and extend line 4 units upwards I.e., total 3.25 units from bottom
With ortho off, draw a line between corner of left side and the projected line in step 4
Draw it to the other side also till it meets the right corner
Draw a 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 lines by using trim
