Challenge

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

In this challenge, 6 geometries are provided and different aims are provided for respective geometries.

AIM: To create the cross-section of load bearing wall over spread footing.

Introduction: This is created in AutoCAD using the following commands:

Line
Polyline : It is a connected sequence of line segments that are created as a single object.
Rectangle
Eraser

PROCEDURE:

First, use the rectangle command to make the base rectangle i.e, 0.9 X 0.25
- Select rectangle from ribbon tab and specify the first point as 1,1
- Select the dimension option from the rectangle and give:
  - Length = 0.9
  - Width = 0.25
After that use the polyline command to draw on a rectangle ( creating steps for footing).
- Select the polyline tool from the ribbon tab and specify the first point 1 as the top left corner of the existing rectangle using the snap cursor.
- And create a polyline by specifying the remaining points as follow.
  - Point 2 @0.2<0
  - Point 3 @0.4<90
  - Point 4 @0.05<0
  - Point 5 @0.4<90
  - Point 6 @0.4<0
  - Point 7 @0.4<270
  - Point 8 @0.05<0
  - Point 9 @0.4<270 and click on 'ESC'
Creating left rectangle i.e, 1.15 x 0.15
- Using a rectangle from the ribbon tab create a rectangle by giving dimensions:
  - Length = 1.15
  - Width = 0.15
Create steps on that using polyline.
- Use the polyline command from the ribbon tool and start by specifying point 1 as top left corner of that rectangle.
  - Point 2 @0.3<0
  - Point 3 @0.15<90
  - Point 4 @0.3<0
  - Point 5 @0.15<90
  - Point 6 @0.3<0
  - Point 7 @0.15<90
  - Point 8 @0.3<0
  - Point 9 @0.15<90
  - Point 10 @0.05<90
  - Point 11 @1<90
  - Point 12 @0.3<0
  - Point 13 @1<270
  - Point 14 @0.05<270
  - Point 15 @0.6<270 and the click on 'ECS'.
The required cross-section of Load bearing wall over spread footing is created.

RESULT:

AIM: To create the Cross Section of Isolated Footing.

INTRODUCTION: Commands and modification tools which are used for this geometry are:

PROCEDURE:

RESULT:

AIM: To create a line diagram / Floor plan of two bedroom building

INTRODUCTION: In this layout, we are going to use the below commands and modifiers

PROCEDURE:

First, select polyline command and specify first point 1 at 1,1
For the rest follow the points in order:
- Point 2 @0,3.6
- Point 3 @3.6,0
- Point 4 @0,0.3
- Point 5 @0,0.3
- Point 6 @0,0.3
- Point 7 @1,0
- Point 8 @0,-0.3
- Point 9 @0,-0.3
- Point 10 @0,-0.3
- Point 11 @4.2,0
- Point 12 @0,-3.6
- Point 13 @-4.2,0
- Point 14 @0,-0.3
- Point 15 @0,-0.3
- Point 16 @0,-0.3
- Point 17 @-1,0
- Point 18 @0,0.3
- Point 19 @0,0.3
- Point 20 @0,0.3
- Point 21 @-3.6,0 and enter 'ESC' to close the geometry
And then take the line tool and draw the horizontal line of 1 unit from point 18 to point 15
- Copy that line from copy command from modifying tab of the ribbon tab
- Select Multiple options
- Copy that line to Point 19, Point 4, and Point 5 and click on 'ESC'
The floor plan of Two bedrooms is Created in Auto CAD

RESULT:

AIM: To create the cross-section of the load-bearing wall showing foundation details.

INTRODUCTION: This is created with the use of the following commands:

PRODUCER:

RECTANGLE:

AIM: To create an ISOMETRIC view of steps in AutoCAD 2D

INTRODUCTION: In this geometry, we will introduce the new command known as ISODRAFT.

It can be found in AutoCAD's status bar ( bottom right corner ) or we can use the ISODRAFT command to jump into the isometric 2D view.

And the other commands that are used are :

PROCEDURE:

Turn on Isodraft view and ortho mode from the status bar
Go to Isoplane left and follow the following steps
- Go to polyline to create the riser of the stairs and start point 1 at 1,1 and make the isometric rectangle with a length of 1.00 and height of 0.15.
Go to the Isoplane top to create a thread and start the polyline at the left corner of the riser with a width of 0.30 and a length of 1.00
Copy this geometry which has been completed and copy it using the copy tool
Use an array to make multiple copies.
Mention no of item=5
Copy step by step.
Go to Isoplane right:
- Start line of 0.30 at the bottom end of the first riser and end it.
- Start line of 0.15 at the top end of the top thread and end it.
- Join both ends using the line command.
The staircase is created.

RESULT:

AIM: To Create the isometric view of GABLE WALL using AutoCAD 2D

INTRODUCTION: The commands that are used are :

PROCEDURE: Start with the ISODRAFT command:

Go to Isoplane left and start polyline to create the thickness of at 1,1 and create with height and thickness of
- Height= 3.00
- Thickness= 0.30
Go to Isoplane right view and start the polyline to create the front face of the wall as shown in the figure with ortho on.
- Point 1 1,1
- Point 2 1 to right
- Point 3 2.42 to top
- Point 4 1 to right
- Point 5 2.42 to bottom
- Point 6 1 to right
- Point 7 3 to top and close the geometry.
Go to Isoplane left and provide thickness inside the opening.
Turning off ortho provides the upper triangle as per dimensions.

RESULT:
