Procedure: Floor plan

Step-1

  • Start the new file and select the Metric system
  • Set the precision as 0.00 units
  • Enter zoom commond and select all then start the drawing from base point

Step-2

  • Enter the line commond
  • Specify the first point and enter the value of 16,388 units in Y-axis
  • Enter the offset commond and enter the value of 250 units
  • Again offset commond and enter the value of 11,450 units
  • From the base point start the horizontal line in between two offset lines
  • Then draw the horizontal line at the top offset line

Step-3

  • Enter the offset commond and gives the value of 3300 in x axis as well as 2888 in y axis
  • Then offset the wall thickness as 125 units and trim it unnecessary line
  • Enter offset commond give the value of 3175 in x axis and 3000 in y axis simultaneously
  • Trim the unwanted lines
  • Again give the wall thichness as 125 units and another is 250 units

Step-4

  • Similarly take the offset commond and give the all rooms dimension which given in the grawing

Step-5

  • Enter offset commond and specify the length of 1200 units which is first step of staircase having the width of 2400 units from the door(D) opening face
  • Again enter the offset and specify the length of 250 units of tread and select the array option give the 8 items then click next point
  • Offset the landing width having the 1200 units and offset the wall thich as 250 units

Step-6

  • Enter the trim commond and trim it unwanted lines
  • Create the door openings having different widths
  • Which is having following dimensions
  1. D=1000 units
  2. D1=700 units
  3. D2=900 units

Step-7

  • To create the window openings following sizes are considered
  1. W1=800 units
  2. W2=1000 units
  3. W3=1230 units
  • To create the ventilator openings following sizes are considered
  1. V=600 units
  • Enter the rectangle commond and specify first point click on Dimensions and give the width 250 units, length 1230 units (W3)
  • Enter the line commond draw the line in between the rectangle then offset it
  • Copy the window and paste the required number of copies needed
  • Place the window at desired points
  • Similarly W1 and W2 windows are placed

Step-8

  • Enter the rectangle commond specify the first point click on dimensions then enter the width as 250 units and length as 400 units
  • Hatch the column with AR-CONC pattern
  • Group the coulmn and give the name as column
  • Copy the columns with required numbers

Step -9

  • Enter the dimension style commond and select the text font and overal scale of 75 units
  • Enter the Mtext commond start the writing the room names and dimensions
  • Specify all the door numbers
  • Specify all the window and ventilator names
  • Enter the line commond and cut section as per drawing
  • Section line layer property was changed to dash line type and text it as AA and BB

Step-10

  • Enter the dimension commond and Specify the required mesurements as per drawing

Step-11

  • Creating a plan as per given drawing by using AutoCad tools

Procedure: SECTION-AA

Step-12

  • Enter the xline in common specify the all the neended points
  • Enter the line and draw the horizontal at top
  • Trim it unwated lines
  • Offset the top horizontal line having the value of15150 units

Step-13

  • Enter the offset commond and specify the length as 2450 units
  • Continue the offset with the values of 2850,2850,2850 and 1000 units
  • Enter the polyline start the first step with 143.75 riser from the coulmn face of 1450 units
  • Continue with 143.75 riser and 250 tread upto landing
  • Then from the coulmn face 1200 units it will again another flight is started for this time from column face 1200 units width is consider for first floor
  • Change the tread and riser as 250 and 158.33 units simultaneously

Step-14

  • Enter the offset commond and specify the overheadroom top as 2500 units
  • Again offset as 600 units and 1200 units upto over head tank top
  • Offset the slab thick as 115 for all slabs
  • Eneter line and specify the 400 units from the slab for beams
  • Trim the all unwanted lines

Step-15

  • Enter the Dimension commond and start the linear dimension
  • Specify the All needed measurements
  • Enter the Mtext commond and start the writing the needed information
  • Door and window openings are trim it from projected lines

Step-16

  • Creating a section-AA as per given drawing by using AutoCad tools

Procedure: SECTION-BB

Step-17

  • Change the view of the drawing towards west
  • Enter the Xline commond and specify the all the requred points
  • L enter and draw the horizontal line
  • Offset the horizontal line with 12000 units
  • Trim the Unwanted lines

Step-18

  • Offset the all the slab top levels from the base which is having vaules of 2450,2850,2850 and 2850 units
  • Similarly offset the parapet wall value of 1000 units

Step-19

  • Trim the unwanted lines
  • All window and ventilator lintel level marked as 2100 units
  • Sill level marked as 900 units from the slab
  • Trim the window and ventilator openings

Step-20

  • From the projecton lines columns will be trimed and beam portion is showed in below

Step-21

  • Offset from slab for beam depth as 400 units and slab thick as 115 units
  • Tim the unwanted lines from the beam and slab portions

Step-22

  • Creating the balcony SS hand rail upto the sill level 900 units
  • Offset the slab top line to 900 units
  • Hand rails are drawn by line in between rectangle
  • Group it the Hand rail portion and copy it place the required points

Step-23

  • Enter the rectangle commond
  • Specify first point and click on dimension
  • Width as 250 units and length as 1200 units
  • Sunshade will drawn over the window 150 units and nosing will be 75 units
  • Group it
  • Copy the required number of windows
  • Place required points

Step-24

  • After placing all window and sunshades

Step-25

  • Enter the dimension commond and specify the all the dimensions required
  • Enter the Mtext commond and start the reqiured information writing

Step-26

  • Section-BB is drawn as per given drawing by using AutoCad tools

Result: All the drawings are successfully drawn By using AutoCad tools

It includes

  1. Floor plan
  2. Section-AA
  3. Section-BB
