Creating a Floor plan, Footing detail and Isometric view using AutoCad
AIM:
To Creating a Floor plan, Footing detail and Isometric view using AutoCAD.
INTRODUCTION:
The main objective of this assignment is to get in touch with various tools in AutoCAD like the rectangle, polylines, modifications tools like copy, move, offset and modes like snap mode and ortho mode. These tools will be understood by creating a footing detail, two bedroom building, cross section of a 2 bedroom building showing foundation details and isometric view of steps and gable wall.
