Q:-Create a floor plan, footing detail and isometric view using Autocad.

AIM:-

To Create a floor plan, footing detail and isometric view using Autocad.

INTRODUCTION:-

• The main objective to create a floor plan, footing details and isometric view using Autocad. To get hand on experience in usage of basic commands in autocad. That is Line, Rectangle, Polyline and thereby some modification tools like copy, move, offset and working with different views of isometric.
• Different images are attached to sketch the same in autocad. Those are named as follows:
  1. C. S. of Load bearing wall over spread footing.
  2. C. S. Isolated footing.
  3. Line diagram of a two bedroom building. 
  4. C. S. of Load bearing wall showing foundation details.
  5. Isometric view of steps.
  6. Isometric view of gable wall.

5. Isometric view of steps

AIM:- To Create a Isometric view of steps

COMMAND USED:- Line, Isometric Plane, dimlinear, Dimsty.

PROCEDURE:

STEP1:-

• To word with isometric view. Type "ds" command to get dynamic settings.
• Pick off the buttons called snap and grid. 
• After those are deselected then pick up option called isometric snap.
• Thereby the grid lines will be inclined and cursor will be inclined as well.
• Make sure ortho mode is on (F8)
• Based the sketch given opt the drafting plane either left, right or etc.
• The given figure shows it is an iso-plane left select it.
• Given the command "L" and move the cursor towards -ve x-direction that is left give 1 unit.
• Move the cursor towards +ve y direction (top), give 0.15 units.
• Moving the cursor to +x direction again 1 unit and cursor to -y direction (diownwards) give 0.15 units.

STEP2:-

• 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.

STEP3:-

• Change the isometric drafting to 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.
• With iso-plane right join the two ends with ortho off.

5. Isometric view of gable wall

AIM:- To Create a Isometric view of gable wall

COMMAND USED:- Line, Isometric Plane, dimlinear, Dimsty.

PROCEDURE:

STEP1:-

• To word with isometric view. Type "ds" command to get dynamic settings.
• Pick off the buttons called snap and grid. 
• After those are deselected then pick up option called isometric snap.
• Thereby the grid lines will be inclined and cursor will be inclined as well.
• Make sure ortho mode is on (F8)
• Based the sketch given opt the drafting plane either left, right or etc.
• The given figure shows it is an iso-plane left select it.
• Give command "L" and move the cursor to right give 1 unit.
• Pointing the cursor upwards give 3 units.
• Draw 0.3 units of left and 3 units downwards and 0.3 units left

STEP2:-

• Using isometric right, take line command and draw line upwards of 2.42 units the starting point of step1.
• Draw 1 unit towards thr 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 intersects the top line.

STEP3:-

• Using iso-metric right with the line command draw 1.0 unit to right side and 3.0 unit upwards.
• By using the line command draw a line from bottom left corner @1.5 units and extend the line 4 units upwards i.e., total 3.25 units from bottom.

STEP4:-

• 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,.

RESULT:

The final sketch is plotted in autocad and the procedure is elborated as shown above.
