STEP 6: PARKING
- In command prompt type OFFSET specify distance as 13'-9.5'' and offset from bottom line
- In command prompt type OFFSET specify distance as 9'' and offset from previous line in upward from out to out
- In command prompt type OFFSET specify distance as 8'-6.0'' and offset from right wall of parking area
- In command prompt type TRIM, tirm the area for door D3 and unwanted lines
- In command prompt type OFFSET, specify distance as 1'-3" and offset from in to in of 9" wall from right to left
- In command prompt type OFFSET specify distance as 6" from the previous offset line
- In command prompt type LINE join the midpoint of 6" line to the 1'-3" line midpoint
STEP 7: DIMENSION AND TEXT
