Step:6

• Now from the previously drawn attached to the third rectangle, On the fourth rectangle we leave the distance of 0.3 units from the left side.
• And draw a line of 0.15 units vertically and 0.3 units horizontally.
• Then continue this more than two times until the 3 steps are created.

Step:7

Q.2 C2: Cross section of an isolated footing:-

Answer:

Aim: To draw the cross-section of isolated footing.

Procedure:

Step: 1

• First take the coordinates as (5,0).
• Next we have to draw the line of 1 unit with the Line command.
• Next we have to enter the line command and we have to enter the coordinates as (@0,0.15)
• After giving the first coordinate, then enter the next coordinate as (@0.38,0.25)
• Next give the coordinate as (@0,1.6)
• Next give the coordinate as (@0.24,0)
• Give the next coordinate as (0,-1.6)
• Next give the coordinate as (@0.38,-0.25)
• Next enter coordinate as (0,-0.15)

Step: 2

• Next we have to draw the line at a distance of 0.04 from the top using the line command.
• Now there is a dynamic input option, then click on that one and it consists of option that ON/OFF, Then select the ON option.
• After the dynamic input is ON we have to take the of 0.04 and take the coordinates as (@0,-1.96). Then the line will be drawn from 1.96 to downwards.
• Next give the coordinates as (@-0.38,) for the second line.
• Next give the coordinates for the third line as (@0,0.06)

Step: 3

• Next copy the first line by copy command, then click the displacement and enter the value as 0.16 units.
• Then after, copy the second line and move to the desired position.
• Similarly copy the third line and drag it to the desired position.

Step: 4

• Next we have to type the offset command, select the top line, and give the offset value as 0.2 units and offset downwards.
• Continue the offset lines until they reach 9 lines.
• Then trim the unwanted lines.

• Finally give the dimensions for every part of a c/s of isolated footing which we have drawn in detail.

Result:

• The cross-section of isolated footing is drawn successfully shown in below fig.

Q.3 C3: Line diagram of two-bedroom building:

Answer:

Aim: To draw the line diagram of two bedroom building.

Procedure:

Step: 1

• Here we create the bedroom room of (03.6x3.6) using the polyline command.
• Using the polyline command, click the point and give the coordinates as (@0,-0.9)
• Then after taking the coordinates as (@-3.6,0)
• Next we have to take coordinate as (@0,3.6)
• Next we have to take coordinates as (@3.6,0)
• Then after taking the coordinates as (@0,-1.8)

Step: 2

• Then we have to create the stairs using the line command.
• Here from the corner point of the top right side of the line we take the coordinates as (@0,0.9), The line goes towards the +y axis.
• Next we take the coordinates as (@1,0), and the line goes towards the +y direction.
• Then after we take the coordinates as (@0,-0.9), The line goes towards the -y direction.

Step: 3

• Here we draw the living room using the polyline command.
• Now we take the coordinates as (@4.2,0) at the last point of the stairs which we have drawn in step:2.
• Then after take the coordinates as (@0,-3.6) The line moves towards the -y direction.
• Afterwards we take the coordinates as (@-4.2,0) The line goes towards the -x direction.

Step: 4

• Now we create the stairs as similarly we created stairs in step:2.
• Let us take a point which has drawn at last in step:3.
• At that point we take coordinates as (@0,-0.9) The line moves towards the -y direction.
• Then after we take coordinates as (@-1,0) The line moves towards the -x direction.
• Now take the coordinates as (@0,0.9) The line moves towards the +y direction.

Step: 5

• Finally we use the offset command for creating the stairs.
• Take the offset command with a dimension of 0.3 units, Then select the object for offsetting.
• Do the offset continuously two times for both sides of the stairs.

• Finally give the dimensions for all the parts in the drawing.

Result:

• The line diagram of two bedroom building is drawn successfully shown in below fig.

Q.5 C5: Isometric view of steps.

Answer:

Aim: To draw the isometric view of steps.

Procedure:

Step: 1

• To draw the isometric view of steps, make sure that turn on the isometric snap in the snap settings.
• And the next turn on the ortho mode.
• After selecting the isometric view in the snap settings, select the isophane left option at the bottom of the command box.
• we have to take coordinate as (@-1,0) The line moves towards the -x direction.
• Next we have to take coordinates as (@0,0.15) The line moves towards the y direction.
• Then after taking the coordinates as (@1,0) The line moves towards the +x direction.
• Then after taking the coordinates as (@0,-0.15) The line moves towards the -y direction.

Step: 2

• Change the isometric drafting to the isometric top option.
• Give 0.3 units from the last point.
• Now we move the cursor to the right direction and give 1 unit, and move the cursor to the front and give 0.3 units.

Step: 3

• Now change the isometric drafting to the isometric right option.
• Now turn off the ortho mode and copy the object drawn.
• Next use the copy command and specify the base point and place it to the new point.
• Now this can be continued up to four times in which the steps are formed.

Step: 4

• Now copy the horizontal distance of 0.3 downwards on the starting end of step with isolated right.
• And also copy the vertical distance of 0.15 on the last end of the step.

Step: 5

• With the isophane right join the two ends by turning off ortho mode.
• Now use the line command, select the first point as the bottom point.
• And the second point is endpoint of the vertical line.

• Finally give the dimensions for every part in the drawing.

Result:

• The isometric view of steps are drawn successfully shown in below fig.

Q.6 C6: Isometric view of gable wall:

Answer:

Aim: To draw the isometric viw of gable wall.

Procedure:

Step:1

• To draw the isometric view of steps, make sure that turn on the isometric snap in the snap settings.
• And next turn on the ortho mode.
• After selecting the isometric view in the snap settings, select the isoplane right option in the bottom of the command box.
• Here we the line command and moving the cursor to left give 1 units.
• Then the point the cursor upwards gives the 3 units
• And draw the 3 units to right and 3 units downwords.
• In the isoplane right, take the line command and draw line upwards of 2.42 units from the starting point.
• Then draw the 1 unit towards the right and 2.42 units downwards.Click the end point of figure.
• So that a closed figure is obtained in the isometric view.

Step:2

• And then change the isoplane left and take the line command and draw the 0.3 units on the left side of the figure.
• And draw 3 units upwards and join the both.

Step:3

• Here give the thickness of opening isoplane left, and draw the 0.3 units towards left and 2.12 units upwards.
• Now increase the thickness line of opening 1.13 units upwards, upto the 3.25 units from the bottom.
• By turning off the otho mode, we draw a line between the corner of left side and the projected line drawn in step:5.
• Then draw it to the other side also till it meets the right corner.
• We draw the vertical line by turning on the ortho mode, and we draw the centre portion and erase the projected and horizontal lines.

Step:4

• Now copy and join the inclined lines, and we will get the isometric view of the gable wall.

• Finally give the dimensions for every part in the drawing.

Result:

• The isometric view of gable wall is drawn successfully shown in below fig.
