Creating a Layout, Section and Elevation with dimensions using AutoCad

Creating a Layout, Section and Elevation with dimensions using AutoCad

**************************************************************************

Aim:- To draw the floor plans and sections using the proper dimension techniques and dimension styles to document the project.

Introduction:-

• Plan and Sections are different types of drawings used by architects to graphically represent a building design and construction.
• 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 showing what lies within.

Procedure:-

Step:-1

1st, 2nd and 3rd floor plan:

• First we have to open the autocad and set the limits using the limits command.
• to draw the line with the length of 16388mm from down to up horizontally.
• to draw the line from the previous line with the length of 12150mm horizontally forwards.
• again draw the line from the previous line with the klength of 16388mm downwards vertically..
• to draw the line from the last line to the first line to form the rectangle.
• draw the rooms with help of line command and offset command and trim command, with the lengths given in figures.
• the bedroom with the length of 3100mm and width of 3100mm
• draw the another bed room with the size of 3225mm x 3200mm.
• draw the drawing/kit/din room with the size of 2550mm x 3775mm x 3250mm.
• to draw two toilets with the sizes of 1250mm x 2400mm.
• to draw the another bed room in the part C with the size of 3000mm x 3225mm.
• draw the dra/liv with the size of 4475mm x 2950mm.
• draw the bed room in the part B with the size of 3225mm x 3050mm.
• draw the dra/kit room with the size of 4475mm x 2863mm.
• draw the toilet room wwith the size of 1250mm x 2150mm.
• draw the another bed room with the size of 3100 x 3300mm.
• have to draw the balcony with size of 1375mm x 1100mm.
• draw the bed room in the A part with the size of 3175mm x 3000mm.
• leave the some space for the veranda, with the length of 3175mm.
• have to draw the another bed room with the size of 3300mm x 2888mm.
• have to draw the toilet room with the size of 2275mm x 1225mm.
• have to draw the dra/kit/din room with the size of 6600mm x 2550mm x 2563mm.
• Finally we draw the staircase with the size of 3200mm x 2400, the tread is 250mm and riser is 143.75 and 158 mm
• Next we have to trim the unnessesary lines and objects.
• Then we draw the columns with the size of 250mm x 350mm.
• The columns are placed where ever they required in the floor plan.
• And we specify the column layer with the skyblue colour.
• Next we have to draw the windows and doors with the sizes are shown below,

W1	- 900 X 1200mm
W	- 600 x 1200mm
W2	- 1000 x 1200mm
W3	- 1500 x 1200mm
W4	- 500 x 500mm

D	- 1000 X 2100mm
D1	- 700 x 2100mm
D2	-900mm x 2100mm

• Finally we indicate the rooms using the single text command.
• And again we have tto provide the dimrnsions for the given floor plan using the dimlinear command.
• And also draw the section lines as given in the figure, and also indicate the doors and windows.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step:-2

Section-AA

• First we have to draw the line with the length of 8900mm horizontally forward.
• Next we have to draw another line from the previous line vertically with the length of 1mm.
• Next again draw the line from the previous line with the length of 11000mm horiziontally backwards from the previously drawn line.
• Next draw the line from the first line and the last line we drawn previously.
• Next do thge offset to the particular lines with the given offset values.
• The inner wall offsets are 125mm and outer wall thickness is 250mm.
• And ground level thickness is 200mm and 150mm.
• Next we have to draw the windows in their requires places in 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors.
• Here next we have to draw the stairs with tread of 250mm and the riser with 143.75mm and 158.33mm.
• And take the line type as dashed lines and set it to the particular value of the dashed lines for the staircase.
• Next we have to draw the remaining parts, we draw the parapet wall and water tank(O.H.T) at the top of the building.
• Next we draw the doors at their required places in the first, second and third floorS.
• Next remaining we draw the windows and sunshades in their particular places.
• Next we have to select layers and make them to the different colours for different parts in the section, as shown below.
• Next we put the dimensions where ever they are required in the sectiion drawing as shown below.
• Next we have to select the single text command to indicate the parts in the section plan.
• Finally we have to draw the section line in the section plan as shown in the below figure.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step:-3

Section-BB

• First we have to draw the line with the length of 11000mm horizontally forward.
• Next we have to draw another line from the previous line vertically with the length of 16388mm.
• Next again draw the line from the previous line with the length of 11000mm horiziontally backwards from the previously drawn line.
• Next draw the line from the first line and the last line we drawn previously.
• Next do the offset to the particular lines with the given offset values.
• The inner wall offsets are 125mm and outer wall thickness is 250mm.
• And ground level thickness is 200mm and 150mm.
• Next we have to draw the windows in their requires places in 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors.
• Next we have to draw the windows in their requires places in 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors.
• Next we have to draw the sunshades in the upside of the window to protect from the sunlight.
• And we have to select the different colour layers for different parts in the section plan as shown below.
• Next we have to put the dimensions where ever they are required.
• And write the text to denote the parts in the section plan using the single text command.

RESULT:-

• plan and sections using the proper dimension techniques are drawn successfully in the autoCAD in detailed manner.
