Step 5 : Creating Doors and Windows

Creating Doors:

Draw a line across the wall where door openings are created

Creating Windows:

Draw a line across the wall offset the line
Using line command, draw two lines connecting the above drawn Mines at the middle

Step 6 :

Specify offset distance as 50
Select the horizontal line drawn
Specify offset distance as 25
Specify offset distance as 100
Specify offset distance as 2450
Select each floors line and give the slab thickness offset
Trim excess portions
Draw a window
Copy the rectangles to all the floors
Draw an offset point of 1450mm from the right edge of stall way for the ground floor stairs.
Draw an offset point of 1200mm from the left edge of stair way for the ground floor stairs.
Draw of flat D at each floor entrance
Specify offset distance as 75
Select the top edge
Specify offset distance as 75
Select the top edge
Specify offset distance as 1000
Select the top edge
Specify offset distance as 2500
Select the top edge
Specify offset distance as 450
Draw the top tank using the rectangle command.

Draw a Vertical line for Ground level which cuts all horizontal line projections.
Now, type "Breakpoint" in the command box and break all the vertical projection lines from the point of intersection with horizontal line.
Specify offset distance as 200, 2450, 2850, 2850 2850 and 1000
Specify offset distance as 150 and give the slab thickness
