1. Residence Plan:
Sketch the layout of a residence as shown in the Figure 1. Consider all dimensions as reference to sketch the unit plan. Also the text in the layout are only for reference. Assume the missing dimensions. Also, refer the schedule for size of the doors.
AIM - To draw the given residential plan with the details given.
INTRODUCTION -
- Residential layout is ideal for students of urban design,planning,engineering,architecture and landscape seeking a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of designing and laying out residential areas.
- Commands used:
- Limmax command
-Limits command
-Zoom command
-Xline command
-Line command
-Dimlinear command
-Dimstyle command
-Units command
-Text command
-LW command
-Extend command
-Trim command
STEPWISE PROCEDURE:
- Enter the xline command and draw the line in both x axis and y axis.
- Make offset of 9" and make the wall
- the main wall is made of thickness 9"
- Partition walls are made of 4.5" thickness
- Next enter the offset command in the command prompt then press enter.Select the lines which we have drawn previously and offset the lines to 9"
- After providing walls remove the extra lines using trim command
- In the same way offset command is used to partition the rooms,toilets,living and dining hall as per the dimensions.
- Staircase provided is a dog legged stair
- Draw the stairs left side of parking with 1' tread and 6' riser,that is shown in figure
- Next we have to draw the doors with the given dimensions ffor D1,D2,D3.
- Provide the dimensions
- Differentiate the doors and staircase using different colours
- And also give the names for the rooms in the residential building
- To provide the names Mtext command is used
RESULT -
2. Sketch the seating plan for an outdoor canopy. Assume the dimensions for the seating. Also, consider the dimensions in mm.
AIM - To draw the given seating plan of an outdoor in detail.
INTRODUCTION -
- A canopy is an overhead roof or else a structure over which a fabric or metal covering is attached,able to provide shade or shelter from weather conditions such as rain,sun,hail and snwo.
