DRAWING OF WINDOWS -
SIZES OF WINDOWS ASSUMED
- W1= 1000 X 1200
- W2= 1500 X 1200
- W3= 1800X 1200
- W4= 600 X 1050
- W= 1200X 1200
DRAWING OF DOORS-
SIZES OF DOORS ASSUMED-
- D= 1200 X 2100
- D1= 750 X 2100
- D2= 900 X 2100
- Windows are drawn by using line command.
- Section lines are drawing by using layer and changing the layer type.
- Hatch- For hatching the columns type hatch in command box- open settings -select pattern- select pattern as AIR-CONC- select global scale factor as 0.7.
- Dimension- For drawing dimension using dimension tool in the ribbon.
- Text- For naming of plan use text in ribbon in that use multiline text and keep the height of text as 220.
