- Offset
- Fillet
- Extend
- Trim
PROCEDURE
- Open a new file in AutoCAD, set limits and units.
- Draw a construction line vertically by command XL-V, and horizontally XL-H
STEP PROCEDURE
BEDROOM 1
- Take offset of both lines of 9”
- Now take an offset of 11’7.5” in the X direction and 12’ in the Y direction to form room
- Now offset the lines of 4.5” to get the wall
- Trim unwanted lines
BEDROOM 2

- Offset that line of 9” to get wall thickness
- Extend the line of 12’ from bed 1 and again 4.5” to get wall thickness
- Trim the unwanted lines
TOILET 1
- Offset 4’6” downwards then offset 4.5” wall
- Extend the line to 4’6” and the wall
- Offset 8’3” towards X direction and offset 4’5” wall
- Trim unwanted lines
TOILET 2
- Extend the wall thickness of bed 2 to 4’6”
- Offset the distance of 8’1.5” toward -X direction and also 4’5” wall thickness
- Trim the unwanted lines
DINNING and LIVING ROOM
- Give offset of 11’ from the wall of toilet and also the wall of 9”
- Extend the left wall toward the 11” line and 9” line
- Use fillet to join the line and wall of the toilet
- Give an offset of 8’7.5” to understand the partition between the dining and living
- Trim the unwanted lines
KITCHEN

- Give offset of 13’9.5” from living wall towards downwards
- Extend both sides of the line
- Extend outer wall of the kitchen so that staircase room is defined
- Staircase
- RISE 6”
- THREAD 1’
- Give wall thickness of 9” for staircase room
- Divide it by 3’ from front wall thickness
- Give an offset of 1.96” to show the handrail
- Draw offset of 1’ to draw thread and repeat the steps 9 times
- Trim unwanted lines and mark stairs in dotted line
- Mark the direction of stairs
DOORS
- Trim all the door opening with their respected width
- D1 – 3’
- D2 – 2’6”
- D3 - 3’3”
- For open kitchen trim 6’4” from the right side of the kitchen
WINDOWS

- Draw a line of 6’ from the center of the offset line inside wall thickness
- Draw window wherever necessary
- W1 – 6’
- W2 – 4’
- V – 2’
- Trim unwanted lines
KITCHEN SLAB and CUPBOARD
- Offset distance of 2’ to make slab
- Draw a rectangle of 5’,2’ for the cupboard
- Copy the rectangle to the bedroom too
- Trim unwanted lines
FORMING LAYERS
- Create a new layer for each component, name them, and specify them differently so that they can be identified
- Select the object and place it in its respective layers
