Challenge

Creating a Floor plan, Footing detail and Isometric view using AutoCad

Aim:

To creating a Floor Plan, Footing details and Isometric views using Auto cad.

Introduction:

The main assignmnet is to get in touch with various tools in Autocadd like the rectangle, polylines, modification tools like copy, move, offset and modes like snap mode and ortho mode. These tools will be understood by creating a footing details, two bed room buiding, cross section of two bed room building showing foundation details and isometric view of steps and gable wall.
