Creating a Layout, Section and Elevation with dimensions using AutoCad

Creating a Layout, Section and Elevation with dimensions using AutoCad

1. Plan

Aim: To draw the plan as shown in the figure above, in AutoCAD.

Introduction: The plan is created in AutoCAD using primarily the XLine and Line tools, the dimensions and text are provided with the use of layers. The procedure of drawing is explained in detail with diagrams of each step and the final result is given.

Procedure:

• First we draw the plan.
• Give outer wall thickness as 250mm and inner wall thickness as 125mm.
• Draw the construction line in vertical and horizontal direction using XL command and give thickness of the wall.
• Give the dimensions of bedroom as 3100X3100 using offset command.
• Give the inner dimension as 125mm by offset command.
• Offset horizontally 2250mm,125mm,1250mm,125mm,125mm,1250mm(toilet C),3000mm(bedroom of C),250mm for external wall.
• Offset vertically 2400mm for toilet then 125mm for thickness,3225mm for bedroom C and thickness of 125mm.
• Offset vertically 2950mm for drawing from bedroom of C and give wall thickness of 125mm then offset 3250mm and 3200mm and give wall thickness of 250mm.
• Divide the rooms horizontally by offsetting 3225mm,125mm,3250mm,125mm,4475mm,250mm.
• Offset 2400mm vertically and 4400mm horizontally for the staircase.
• Offset 3050mm vertically and 3100mm horizontally for the front bedroom.
• Fillet the wall of the bedrroom with left side wall and give wall thickness of 250mm.
• Now offset 100mm from the outer wall and draw the verandah by offseting 1000mm and offset 3175mm for the bedroom of A.
• Offset 2888mm for the front bedroom of A and offset wall thickness of 125mm.
• Now offset 1225 and 2275mm for the toilet and then offset 2550mm for the drawing/kitchen/dining of A.
• Now create the doors with dimensions as :D-1000mm,D1-700mm,D2-900mm in width.
• Now create windows with dimensions as: W-600mm,W1-900mm,W2-1000mm,W3-1500mm,W4-500mm in width.
• Now place the doors and windows in required places.
• Now insert the text with multiline text and select standard as the text style and text height as 250mm.

2.Section A-A

Aim: To draw the section A-A as shown in the figure above, in AutoCAD.

Introduction: The plan is created in AutoCAD using primarily the XLine and Line tools, the dimensions and text are provided with the use of layers. The procedure of drawing is explained in detail with diagrams of each step and the final result is given.

Procedure:

• First we draw the Section A-A
• Dimension assumed: slab thickness-125mm,Beam-250X300mm,Lintel thickness-150mm,Height of newel post-1000mm and landing slab thickness-100mm.
• Extend the wall thickness wherever the section cuts the plan.
• Then draw a horizontal line for the ground level and draw 150mm thickness from the ground level by offseting 150mm from ground level.
• Now offset a distance of 2450mm from the ground level for the ground floor height.
• Now give slab thickness as 125mm from the top level.
• Draw beams where walls are there of size 250X300mm.
• Draw columns of 400mm and 300mm width.
• Now we draw the stairs:
• Draw a beam of 250mm width and 270mm depth down the ground level.
• Draw a vertical line of 143.75mm at distance of 1450mm from the 300mm column and then a horizontal line of 250mm for riser.
• Now draw 8 similar steps and draw the landing from the 8th one.
• Draw an inclined line joining the riser of end of flight and offset 100mm from that line ,then join it with the landing slab.
• Mirror the steps to the oppsite side also.
• Give newel post height as 1000mm on both start and end of flight.
• For the first fllor offset a height of 2850mm and slab thickness of 125mm and beam of size 250X300mm.
• Extend the projected walls of 125mm and 250mm.
• Extend the doors and windows from the plan to get its width,then give height of 1200m for window and 50mm for ventilator.
• Draw a lintel slab of 150mm and projection of shade as 400mm.
• Show the section of window on one end of wall and stair case side as it is cut by the sectio line.
• Copy these to the three floors using copy command.
• On top for parapet give height of 1000mm and 2500mm for the top room.
• Draw a door of 900X2100m and wall thickness of 250mm on both sides.
• For the overhead tank draw a parapet height of 450mm.
• For tank draw a line of 1200mm as height of tank and 2300mm as width of tank.
• Write text using multileader by selecting it from the annotation tab.
• Give leader points as 5,text height as 250mm and arrow size as 1000mm.
• Now insert the text with multiline text and select standard as the text style and text height as 250mm.

2.Section B-B

Aim: To draw the section B-B as shown in the figure above, in AutoCAD.

Introduction: The plan is created in AutoCAD using primarily the XLine and Line tools, the dimensions and text are provided with the use of layers. The procedure of drawing is explained in detail with diagrams of each step and the final result is given.

Procedure:

• Project the walls and columns from the plan using line command.
• Mark a vertical line showing ground level and take a offset of 150mm for P.C.C. and 200mm from the ground level to show the flooring level.
• Project the windows and ventilators and give height 2100mm.
• Offest slab of 100mm thickness and draw the beams.
• Show the section of windows wherever the section line cuts the windows.
• Now using the "DIMLINEAR" command dimension the rooms and then select "DIMCONTINUE" to select dimension continously.
• In case of two dimensions intersecting each other use the break command from the annotate toolbar.
• Select ISO 25 for dimension style.
• Create the layer for each component with individual colours from layer properties.
• Layers for external wall,internal wall,windows,doors,text,dimesnsion,stairs,column,slab and beam are given.
