5. Next coordinate is given as @0,1.6
6. Next @0.28,0
7. Next coordinate @0,-1.6
8. Next coordinate @0,-1.6
9. Next @ 0, -0.15 or close
10. Now draw an offset with the command at a distance of 0.04 from the bottom line to up wards.
11. Type command o and select the object and give the offset distance as 0.04
12. Repeat for the right and left bottom end
13. Trim to eliminate any unwanted lines
14. Take offset from the top line with an offset distance of 0.2 units.
15. Type command o an select the object-give the offset distance as 0.2 -select multiple option a 9 such lines.
16. Trim the excess lines.

RESULT- Cross section of Isolated Footing.

AIM 4- To draw line diagram of 2 bedroom building

Commands used: Line, rectangle, offset (o), trim

Procedure-

1. Draw a rectangle of 3.6 and 3.6 units.
2. Use explode command and select rectangle.
3. Take offset of 1 units
4. Draw another rectangle of 3.6 and 4.2 units from right hand corner of the offset taken.
5. Now select the 1 unit member and take offset of 0.3 unit three times in +ve y direction.
6. Similarly, select the 1 unit member and take offset of 0.3 unit three times in -ve y direction.
7. Now take 0.9 unit offset from the left rectangle bottom side. Similarly, take 1.8 units offset from upper side.
8. Using trim command, trim the line between the offset of 0.9 and 1.8 unit and erase all the unecessary lines.
9. Join all the 0.3 offset lines from both sides.

AIM 5- To draw the isometric view of steps.

Commands used: Line, Isometric plane

Procedure-

1. To get isometric view, type ds (dsettings) in command prompt snap off and grid off. Click on isometric snap on.
2. Make sure ortho is on if not press F8.
3. From isometric drafting select iso-plane left.
4. Type command L in command line and move the cursor in -ve x direction (left side) 1 unit

6. move the cursor in +ve x direction 1 units and cursor to -ve y direction (down side) 0.15 units
7. Change the isometric drafting to iso-plane top
8. Move the cursor to back and give 0.3 units from the last drawn point
9. Move the cursor to right direction and give 1 unit
10. Move the cursor to front and give 0.3 unit
11. Change the isometric drafting to iso-plane right
12. Copy the object drawn, ortho off
13. Command "co" and specify the base point and place it to new point
14. Repeat the above procedures until 4 steps are formed
15. With iso-plane right join the two ends with ortho off.

RESULT- Isometric view of Steps

AIM 6- To draw the isometric view of gable wall

Commands used: Line, Isometric plane

Procedure-

1. To get isometric view, type ds (dsettings) in command prompt snap off and grid off. Click on isometric snap on.
2. Make sure ortho is on if not press F8.
3. From isometric drafting select iso-plane left.
4. Type command L in command line and move the cursor to the right and 1 unit
5. Point the cursor upwards give 3 units
6. Draw 0.3 units to left and 3 units downwards and 0.3 units to left.
7. Using isometric right, take line command and draw line upwards of 2.42 units from the starting point of procedure 1
8. Draw 1 unit towards the right and 2.42 units downwards
9. Using isometric left again, using line command draw 0.3 units to left side and draw a line which intersects the top line
10. Using iso-metric right with the line command draw 1.0 unit to right Side and 3.0 units upwards.
11. By using the line command draw a line from bottom left corner @1.5 units and extend line 4 units upwards i.e., total 3.25 units from bottom
12. With ortho off, draw a line between the corner of left side and the projected line done in procedure 11.
13. Draw it to the other side also till it meets the right corner
14. 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- Isometric view of Gable Wall.
