Creating a Layout, Section and Elevation with dimensions using AutoCad

Aim :- To draw the Plan, Elevation and Section of the building by using AutoCAD Software 

 

 

 

 Introduction :-

The general commands used for drawing the building is as follows :

1.Line 2. Polygon 3.Rectangle 4. Circle 5.Erase 6.Copy 7.Trim 8.Mirror 9.Offset 10.Extend 11.Array 12.Move 13.Rotate 14.Dimension 15.Text 16.Fillet  Etc.

 

The dimensions:- For external wall – 250mm , For internal wall – 125mm , For Staircase : - Treads : 250mm, Rise : 150mm 

The assumed dimensions :-For Windows:

1. W  – 1000 X 1500 2.W1 – 900 X 1200

3.W2 – 1200 X 1200 4.W3 – 1500 X 1200

5.W4 – 700 X 500

 For Doors:- 1. D –  1000 X 2000 2.D1 – 750 X 2000 3.D2 – 900 X 2000

Procedure :-Click on AutoCAD application and open this application. Type QNEW in command bar and enter .Select default setting as Metric .In default setting click on use a wizard and in that advance setting and set unit as decimal and precision as 0 and press Next .  Set Angle as Decimal Degree and precision as 0 and click next . Set Angle Measure as EAST and press NEXT.  Set Angle Direction as Counter-Clockwise and press NEXT . Set Area by providing Length as 50 and Width as 50 . Press finish . Keep ortho, Object snap >ON . Keep Snap and Grid > Off . Un+enter . Type > Decimal, Precision > 0 . Units to scale inserted content > milimeter . Enter 

Plan:-Take xline command , Put xline horizontal and xline vertical , Trim the negative coordinates , Give the offset of 250mm to show the external wall thickness , Offset the horizontal line at a distances of 1150, 3138, 3550, 4488, 7413, 9463, 9713, 12788, 12913, 16388 , Give offset to each above horizontal lines as per their wall thickness , For internal wall give offset of 125mm and for external wall give offset of 250mm , Offset the vertical line at a distances of 3475, 3675, 5975, 6850, 7350, 8725, 10325. 11700 , Give offset to each above vertical lines as per their wall thickness , For internal wall give offset of 125mm and for external wall give offset of 250mm , Give the another required offsets by using offset command , Leave the spaces for doors as per its dimension , Take trim and erase command to remove the unwanted data as shown below

 

Click on layer properties , Click on new layer , Give the layer name > Wall , Turn the layer ON , Set Unlock , Slect layer colour > Red , Similarly, use this above process to provides the layer , The layers which are assigned are shown in below fig
