Creating a Layout, Section and Elevation with dimensions using AutoCad
1. Create the Plan and Sections as shown in the Figures. Use proper dimension techniques and dimension styles to document the project. Assume the sizes of the doors and windows as per construction standards. Refer to sections for stair details if required.

PROCEDURE -
STEPS FOR DRAWING PLAN
- Open autocad and enter UN(Units command) in the command box
- Select type as decimal and set precision to 0
- Select X line command and draw horizontal line and vertical line
- Trim the unwanted lines
- Now select offset command and give an offset of 250mm to both
- Horizontal and vertical line drawn by xline
- Give the offset as follows in the X direction:
Offset 3100 for bedroom
Offset 125 for internal wall
Offset 2250 for kitchen/drawing room/dining room
Offset 125 for internal wall
Offset 1250 for both toilet
Offset 250 for external wall
- Give the offsets as follows in the Y direction
Offset 3100 for badroom
Offset 125 for internal wall
Offset 3225 for bedroom
Offset 250 for wall on both sides
Offset 250 for treads
Offset 1200 for landing of staircase
Offset 2400 for width of staircase
Offset 2250 for kitchen dining bedroom
Offset 1000 for veranda
DRAWING OF WINDOWS
SIZES OF WINDOWS ASSUMED
W1 - 1000*1200
W2 - 1500*1200
W3 - 1800*1200
W4 - 600*1050
W - 1200*1200
DRAWING OF DOORS
SIZES OF DOORS ASSUMED
D - 1200*2100
D1 - 750*2100
D2 - 900*2100
- Windows are drawn using line command
- Section lines are drawing by using layer and changing the layer type
- Hatch - For hatching the columns type hatch in command box - open settings- select pattern- select pattern as AIR-CONC- select global scale factor as 0.7
- Dimension - For drawing dimension using dimension tool in the ribbon
- Text - For normal of plan use text in ribbon from their use multiline text and keep the height of text as 220.
RESULT -
AIM - TO CREATE SECTION A-A OF THE ABOVE PLAN
PROCEDURE -
STEPS FOR DRAWING SECTION AA
- Select X line command and extend the lines from the plan in the downward manner to create projections.
- Offset 150mm from the ground level
- Offset 2450 for ground floor
- Offset 2850 for first floor
- Offset 2850 for second floor
- Offset 2850 for third floor
- Offset 1000 for parafet wall
- Offset 2500 from terrace level for mumty
- Offset 450 from mumty for parafet wall of mumty
- Offset 600 and offset 1200 for O.T.H
- For drawing staircase offset 1250 for tread and offset 143.75 for rise of staircase
- Offset 125 below floor level for slab
- Draw the chajjas and windows as per the sizes considered and standards
- Draw the railing of staircase in dash manner from the layers and change the layer to ACADISO03W100
- Give the dimensions by dimlin or dim continue command
- Select the multiline text for naming of the section.
RESULT -
AIM - TO CREATE SECTION B-B OF THE ABOVE PLAN
PROCEDURE -
STEPS FOR DRAWING SECTION BB
- Rotate the entire plan drawn earlier in the 90 degrees direction to draw the section BB
- Select x line command and take the projectors of the rotated plan in the downward manner
- Take the projections of all internal walls of 125mm and external wall of 250mm.
- Draw a base line to draw the section BB
- Offset 150 from base line
- Offset 2450 for ground floor
- Offset 2850 for first floor
- Offset 2850 for second floor
- Offset 2850 for third floor
- Offset 1000 for parafet wall
- Thickness of slab is assumed to be 125mm
- Offset 125mm each floor in downward manner
- Draw the windows as desired by using the line command
- Dimensions - Use dimlin or dim comtinue for giving the dimensions.
