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

Sketch the layout of a residence as shown in the figure given above.

INTRODUCTION

A residence plan is a set of construction or working drawings that define all the construction specifications of a residential house such as the dimensions, materials, layouts, installation methods and techniques.

PROCEDURE

Open the AutoCAD Application and create a new AutoCAD file with imperial settings. Set the units in 'Engineering' and precision (0'-0.0"), limits by typing 'LIMMAX' in command line (100',100') and zoom all by typing 'ZOOM' in command line (Zoom All).
