Challenge

Creating a Layout, Section and Elevation with dimensions using AutoCad

AIM

To Create the Plan and Sections as shown in the Figures.

INTRODUCTION

  • A plan drawing is a drawing on a horizontal plane showing a view from above
  • An elevation drawing is drawn on a vertical plane showing a vertical depiction
  • A section drawing is also a vertical depiction , but one that cuts through space to show what lies within

COMMANDS USED

  • Unit command
  • Limit command
  • Line command
  • Offset command
  • Trim command
  • scale command
  • Rectangle command
  • Dimlinear command
  • Mtext command
  • Dtext command
  • Dimstyle command
  • Move command
  • Copy command
  • Divide command
  • Object snap command

PROCEDURE

STEP 1

  • Open a new file
  • In the command line type units , select the units and also set the precision
  • In the command line type 'LIMITS' and specify the limits at lower left corner and upper right corner as
  • Then zoom all

STEP 2

floor plan of 1st,2nd and 3rd floor

  • By using line , construction line, offset and trim command ,with the given dimension
  • First drawing bedroom of size 3100*3100
  • Next we draw another bedroom of size 3225*3200
  • Next we draw the drawing/kit/din room with the size of 2550*3775*3250
  • Next we draw two toilets of size 1250*2400
  • Next we draw bedroom of size 3000*3225 in the part c
  • Next we draw the drawing/liv room with the size of 4475*2950
  • Next we draw toilet of size 1250*2150
  • Next we draw bedroom of size 3100*3300
  • then we are leaving somespace for verandah and again drawing bedroom of size 3300*2888
  • Next we draw toilet of size 2275*1225
  • Next we draw the drawing/kit/din room with the size of6600* 2550*2563
  • last we are drawing stair case of size 3200*2400 ,tread is 250mm and riser is 143.75

  • next we have to trim the unwanted lines
  • then place the column where ever required
  • Ater that we have to mark the window and door openings according to the standard
  • here we taken as
    • W1-900*1200
    • W3-1200*1200
    • W2-1000*1200
    • W4-600*900
    • W-600*1200
  • DOORS
    • D1-700*2100
    • D2-900*2100
    • D-1200*2100
  • using multiline text texts are written
  • using dimlinear command dimensions are provided
  • load the dotted lines and make it as current and draw the section lines
  • Using the layer command layers are provided

STEP 3

drawing section - AA

  • using the construction line that is Xline command extend the line from the plan in downward direction inorder to create projections
  • from ground level offset 150mm
  • then offset 2450 for ground floor
  • then offset 2850 for 2nd floor
  • then offset 2850 for 3rd floor
  • then offset 1000 for parapet wall
  • offset 2500 from terrace level to mumty
  • offset 600 and 1200 for O.T.H
  • then we have to draw the staircase with 250 tread and 143.75 riser

  • according to the standard size draw the windows and chajjas
  • dimensions are marked using dimlinear and dimcontinous
  • text using multiline text

STEP 4

drawing section - BB

  • using the construction line that is Xline command extend the line from the plan in inorder to create projections
  • projection of all internal wall taken as 125mm and external wall as 250mm
  • first of all draw a line vertically which is the baseline of the section
  • then offset 150mm from base line
  • then offset 2450 for ground floor
  • then offset 2850 for 2nd floor
  • then offset 2850 for 3rd floor
  • then offset 1000 for parapet wall
  • thickness of slab is assumed as 150mm

  • according to the standard size draw the windows and chajjas
  • dimensions are marked using dimlinear and dimcontinous
  • text using multiline text

RESULT

using autocad plan and sections are drawn using proper dimension technique and dimension styles
