Challenge

Creating a Layout, Section and Elevation with dimensions using AutoCad

1. Create the Plan and Sections as shown in the Figures. Use proper dimension techniques and dimension styles to document the project. Assume the sizes of the doors and windows as per construction standards. Refer to sections for stair details if required.

PROCEDURE:

STEPS FOR DRAWING PLAN

Open auto Cad and enter UN (Units command) in the command box and

select type as decimal and set precision of decimal as O

Select X line command and draw horizontal line and vertical line.

Trim the unwanted lines.

Now select offset command and give an offset of 250mm to both

horizontal and vertical line drawn by X line.

Give the offsets as follows in the X direction.

Offset 3100 for bedroom.

Offset 125 for internal wall.

Offset 2250 for kitchen/ drawing room/dining room.

Offset 125 for internal wall.

Offset 1250 for both toilet

Offset 250 for external wall.

Give the offsets as follows in the X direction.

Offset 3100 for bedroom.

Offset 125 for internal wall.

Offset 3225 for bedroom.

Offset 250 for wall on both sides of stars.

Offset 250 for treads.

Offset 1200 for landing of staircase.

Offset 2400 for width of staircase.

Offset 2250 for kitchen dining bedroom.

Offset 1000 for veranda.

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 normal of plan use text in ribbon from their use multiline text and keep the height of text as 220.

RESULT:

AIM: TO CREATE SECTION A-A OF THE ABOVE PLAN

PROCEDURE:

STEPS FOR DRAWING SECTION AA

  • Select x line command and extend the lines from the plan in the downward manner to create projections.
  • Offset 150mm from the ground level.
  • Offset 2450 for ground floor.
  • Offset 2850 for second floor.
  • Offset 2850 for second floor.
  • Offset 2850 for third floor.
  • Offset 1000 for parapet wall.
  • Offset 2500 from terrace level fo mumty.
  • Offset 450 from mumty for parapet wall of mumty.
  • Offset 600 and offset 1200 for O.T.H.

  • For drawing of staircase offset 1250 for tread and offset 143.75 for rse of staircase.
  • Offset 125 below floor level for slab.
  • Draw the chajjas and windows as per the sizes considered and standards.
  • Draw the railing of staircase in dash manner from the layers and change the layer to ACADISO03W100.

  • Give the dimensions by dim linear or dim continue command.
  • Select the multiline text for naming of the section.

RESULT:

AIM: TO CREATE SECTION B-B OF THE ABOVE PLAN

PROCEDURE:

STEPS FOR DRAWING SECTION BB

  • Rotate the entre plan drawn earlier in the 90 degrees direction o draw the section BB.
  • Select x line command and take the projectors of the rotated plan in the downward manner.
  • Take the projections of all internal walls of 125 mm and eternal walls of 250mm.

  • Draw a base line to draw the section BB.
  • Offset 150 from base line.
  • Offset 2450 for ground floor.
  • Offset 2850 for first floor.
  • Offset 2850 for second floor.
  • Offset 2850 for third floor.
  • Offset 1000 for parapet wall.

  • Thickness of slab is assumed to be 125 mm
  • Offset 125 rom each floor in downward manner.
  • Draw the windows as desired by using the line command.

  • Dimensions- use dim linear or dim continuous for giving the dimensions.
