Staircase:
offset the 12'-6" line on the bottom at a distance of 3' towards the north and offset it with a 1" offset for hand railing
offset the vertical line in the stair portion with 1' in 9 intervals to get 8 steps
trim off all the unwanted lines
name all the rooms with their respective names with multiline wherever required
Result:
2)
Aim: Sketch the seating plan for outdoor seating with a canopy
procedure:
open Autocad
quick setup
units: decimal
area 100 x100
units command
check the units and precision 0.0
ALL THE UNITS ARE MM
Circle command:
draw a circle with a radius of 1398
center mark command
select the circle to locate the center
draw a circle with a radius of 452
draw another circle with the same center with 652 radius
at the quarter-point of the circle draw a rectangle of the dimension of length 400 and width 200 with start center end draw an arc as required
offset the arc in two intervals join the ends of the arc
draw rectangle for hand rest on either side
fillet the edges of the rectangle with a radius of 50 and trim off all the unwanted lines
copy command
copy the chair at the base point as a quarter-point of the circle and copy it on all the quarter points of the circle
rotate command
rotate the chair as required in all positions
erase the circle of 652 radius
Result:
Aim: To sketch the plan for the toilet and utility room
Procedure:
open Autocad
quick setup
units - decimals
area 100 x 100
units command
check the units and precision
insertion scale mm
draw an Xline at 1,1 along horizontal and vertical directions
offset the horizontal and vertical xlines at a distance of 150 and 300 at the bottom and left
offset the horizontal and vertical xlines at a distance of 2100 and 1900 towards north and east from bottom respectively
offset the horizontal and vertical xline at a distance of 150 from offsetted line
offset the horizontal line at a distance of 1700 towards the north and offset it with a 300mm offset
trim off all the unwanted lines
select the verticals lines and stretch the lines
offset the horizontal and vertical lines at a distance of 201 and 402 respectively and offset it with 150 mm
trim off all the unwanted lines
offset the vertical line of toilet room left side with a distance of 100 mm and 731mm
Door Opening:
offset the inner wall with 100mm on either side
offset the line previously offset line with 832 mm and 728 mm on either side
offset the bottom line at a distance of 100 mm
offset the previously offset line at a distance of 828 mm
trim off all the unwanted lines
locate the midpoint of the wall opening and draw a line of 15 mm as hinge and project it towards west
draw a circle with the hinge as a center and circle that touches another midpoint of the wall wherever required.
offset the horizontal line at the ventilator to get the required shape of the ventilator
offset the vertical line at window as required to get the shape of window
draw the toilet sink with the use of tools like rectangle, arc, ellipse, and circle
