Creating a Residence Layout, Seating plan, Toilet and Utility room plan using AutoCad

1)

Aim:

To sketch the layout of a residence as shown in the Figure 1. Considering all dimensions as reference to sketch the unit plan and assuming the missing dimensions.

Procedure:

• A construction line is drawn in the X and Y axis using XLINE command.
• Using OFFSET tool the walls are then offseted from the original x and y lines as per dimensions.
• The walls are then joined using FILLET command with 0 radius.
• Spaces for doors are provided by using OFFSET command.
• Extra lines are then trimmed off using TRIM command.

• The window staircase is drawn as per dimension by using the OFFSET command.
• The doors are drawn using LINE tool and CIRCLE tool.
• The rest of the circle is trimmed off using TRIM command.
• The kitchen slab is drawn by offseting the lines from the wall as per dimension using OFFSET command.
• The cupboards are drawn using LINE tool.

2)

Aim:

To sketch the seating plan for an outdoor canopy by assuming the dimensions for the seating.

Procedure:

• Using CIRCLE tool two circles of given Radius are drawn using Center , Radius method.

• A chair is drawn by assumed dimensions by drawing multiple circles using CIRCLE command and center, radius methods.
• A line is drawn bisecting the circles through the center.
• The rest of the circles is trimmed off using TRIM.
• Then LINE tool is used to drawn the rest of the chair and the edges are curved using FILLET tool.

• The chair is then copied 3 times using COPY command.
• They are then rotated using ROTATE command and polar tracking to get accurate angles.
• They are then moved into the circle and placed around the table by using MOVE.

3)

Aim:

Sketch the part plan for the toilets and utilities room by considering the outer wall thickness as 300mm and inner wall thickness as 150mm. Assume the missing dimensions.

Procedure:

• A construction line is drawn in the X and Y axis using XLINE command.
• Using OFFSET tool the walls are then offseted from the original x and y lines as per dimensions.
• The walls are then joined using FILLET command with 0 radius.
• Spaces for doors are provided by using OFFSET command.
• Extra lines are then trimmed off using TRIM command.

• The doors are drawn using LINE tool and CIRCLE tool.
• The rest of the circle is trimmed off using TRIM command.
• The ventilator and window is drawn using OFFSET tool.

Result:

All the above drawings were drawn using AutoCAD software as per the given questions by using tools and commands learnt in the past few weeks.
