Steps to draft Cross section of load bearing wall showing foundation details

• Create rectangle by typing "REC" in command box or select from ribbon menu.
• Specify the first corner point as (5,5).
• Specify the length of rectangle =0.9 units in command box.
• Specify width of rectangle =0.45 units in command box.
• Create another rectangle -"REC" in command box.
• Specify the first corner point which is 0.15 units from the starting point of first rectangle.
• Enter the length of rectangle as 0.6 units the width of rectangle as 0.4 units.
• Create the third rectangle command- "REC"
• Specify the first corner point which is 0.05 units from the starting point of second rectangle.
• Enter the length of rectangle as 0.5 units the width of rectangle as 0.3 units.
• Create the Fourth rectangle command- "REC"
• Specify the first corner point which is 0.05 units from the starting point of second rectangle.
• Enter the length of rectangle as 0.4 units the width of rectangle as 0.6 units.
• Drawn the fifth rectangle command -"REC"
• Specify the corner point as the corner of fourth rectangular
• Click on dimension -give length as 0.3 units and with as 1 unit.
• Erase the unwanted line by "trim".

steps for drawing Isometric steps is as follows.

• To work with isometric view -command "ds" - snap off, grid off. Put isometric snap on .
• Make sure that ortho mode is on .
• From isometric drafting select iso-plane left.
• Give command "l" and moving the cursor to -x direction(left) give 1unit .
• Moving the cursor to+ y direction (top), give 0.15 units.
• Moving the cursor to + x direction again give 1 unit and cursor to -y direction(downwards) give 0.15 unit.
• 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.
• 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

Steps for drafting Isometric view of gable wall.

• To work with isometric view -command "ds" - snap off, grid off. put isometric snap on
• Make sure that ortho mode is on From isometric drafting select iso-plane left.
• Give command "l" and moving the cursor to right give 1 unit
• Pointing the cursor upwards give 3 units
• Draw 0.3 units to left and 3 units downwards and 0.3 units to left.
• Using isometric right, take line command and draw line upwards of 2.42 units from the starting point of step 1
• Draw 1 unit towards the 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.
• Using iso-metric right with the line command draw 1.0 unit to right Side and 3.0 units upwards.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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-Floor plan, Footing detail and Isometric view drawing can be drafted by various autocad tools such as copy, move, trim,ortho mode.
