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

Aim:- To draft the floor plan, footing details and isometric view using AutoCAD

Introduction:

Floor Plan

  • Floor plan is a type of drawing that shows the layout of a home or property from above
  • Planning of a building gives the idea about the building how the building will be done in future
  • Planning plays an important role in the civil engineering because without this planning we can't determine structural element
  • Planning may be residential, public or commercial building

Footing details

  • Footing reinforcement details depends on the design
  • Footing depth and width are depend on the soil bearing capacity

There are 2 types of foundation

    1. Shallow foundation
    2. Deep foundation

Shallow foundation are of 5 types they are

    1. Isolated footing
    2. Combined footing
    3. Strip footing
    4. Strap footing
    5. Raft or Mat footing

Deep foundation are of 2 types they are

    1. Pile foundation
    2. Drilled shaft or caissons

Isometric view:-

Isometric projection/view is a method for visually representing three dimensional object in two dimension in engineering drawings

or

Isometric drawing is a 3D representation of an object on 2D surface

Procedure:-

  • Go to start menu, click on Start drawing
  • Type stratup (Enter) in command line
  • Enter the new value of start up:1
  • Go to application menu and select new or type new in command line
  • In the "create new drawing" dialogue box contains imperial type of systems and metric type of system
  • We select the metric system in the "start from scratch" option
  • After that in Advance setup option select the decimal unit system in the units

The above procedure should be followed every time when the new sheet is opened

Entering the start up command in the command line Entering the value 1 for the start up

When we go to the new file then we get this file Then advance setup setting should be done by clicking OK

select the metric from start from scratch

Keep the units in decimal and adjust precision then click next Keep angle in decimal degree and adjust precision then OK

Select the angle measurement in east Select angle direction in counter clockwise

Keep the width as 12m and length of 9m as default and click on finish
