Creating a Layout Plan, Section, and Elevation with dimensions using Autocad

1. SKETCHING LAYOUT PLAN:

AIM:

To draw the floor plan and give dimensions as per the drawing using Autocad

INTRODUCTION:

The floor plan is created in Autocad using primarily the XLine and other commands. The procedure of drawing is explained in detail step by step procedure with neat Sketches as shown below

14. Dimension

PROCEDURE:

1. Go to the application menu and select New

2. In the startup dialog box set Metric as the default settings

3. Type UN and set the units as Decimal and precision as 0.0

4. Set the units as Millimetres in the insertion scale

5. Type Limits in the command box and set the lower limit as 0,0 and upper limit as 10000,10000

6. Type Z enter for Zoom and A for Zoom all

Step 1:

1. Select Layer properties by typing Layer in the command box

2. Click on a new layer to create the following layers (i.e., Doors and windows, External Wall, Internal Wall, Stairs, Furniture, Slab, Dimensions, and Text)

Step 2:

1. Select the Exterior wall as the default layer in the layer panel

2. Select the XLine tool by typing XL or XLine in the command box

8. Window W1 is created with a width of 900

9. Window W2 is created with a width of 1200

10. Window W3 is created with a width of 1500

11. Window W4 is created with a width of 600

12. After creating doors and windows, now we have to draw a staircase using staircase layer property

13. Select the Line tool and draw a length of 1800 at the entry point of the building

14. Select the Offset command and give the offset distance as 1200, then offset it through the desired side

15. Repeat Offset for distances 2000, 1200, and 250 to create the staircase

16. Draw a line through the midpoint of the lines created previously to divide the stairs and press Esc to cancel the line command

17. Select the offset tool and give the offset distance as 250mm and offset it through the desired side

18. By using the Line command, draw a line through the midpoint of the lines that we created earlier to divide the stairs

19. By using the Trim command, trim the unnecessary lines

Step 6:

1. Select the dimension and text layer as the default layer in the layer panel

2. Enter DS in the command box to open the dimension style manager dialog

3. Modify the dimensions as per the requirement

4. Change the color of the dimension and extension line as per the requirement

5. Under the text option, Change the text height to 100

6. click ok, then click set current and close the dimension style manager dialog box

7. Give dimensions and text as per the drawing and requirement using the Mtext command and Dimension Command
