• Introduction:

• The above fig is nothing but the residential plan consisting of following units

Two Bedrooms

Two Toilets

A living room

A Kitchen

Dining Room

Parking Unit

Staircase Unit

• Procedure:

• Click on AutoCAD application and open this application
• Type QNEW in command bar and enter
• Select default setting as imperial ( feet and inches )
• Press Enter
• I have kept snap and grid setting off
• Keep ortho on
• Press UN and enter and set unit
• Type- Engineering
• Precision- 0'0.0''
• Enter
• Enter limit command in command bar and enter
• Limits specify first left corner > 0,0
• Limit specify upper right corner > 50',50'
• Enter
• Press Z + enter A + Enter
• Take X line command horizontal and vertical
• Trim the negative coordinates
• Take the offsets of both horizontal and vertical lines at 9.0''
• Take the offset of outer xline in 43'6.5'' at north direction
• Trim all the unwanted parts

• Take the offset of side DC and side BC at 9.0'' inside to show the wall thickness
• Take offset one at 6' and other at 13'9.5'' from the inner side of side AB
• And give offsets of both side at 9'' and one offset at 4.5''
• Take offset of CD by keeping curser inside at 12'
• And offset of that line at 4.5''
• Again take offset of last offset drawn at 4'6''
• Give offset of side AD at 11'7.5'' for the partition of bedroom
• Offset the last offset at 4.5''
• Give offset of side AD at 8'3'' and of side Bc at 8'1.5'' for the toilet
• Offset the last offset at 4.5''
• Give offset of side AD at 12'6'' for the partition of kitchen
• Offset the last offset at 9'' inside
• Trim the unwanted parts
• Leave the places for door according to dimensions provided in schedule i.e. D1=3',D2=2'6'',D3=3'3''
• By using fillet and trim joint all the corner points of the wall as shown below

• Give offsets as per dimensions as shown below

• Give the text and dimensions as per respected drawing as shown below

• To draw the bedroom door
• Take a line parallel to wall at distance of 1''
• And take offset of that line at 0.5''
• Take a circle and draw as shown below

• Trim the unwanted part
• Then the D1 is ready
• Similarly, draw the other doors i.e D2 and D3 of size 2'6'' and 3'3'' as shown below

• Cupboard are placed such as shown below by assuming size as 5'7.4'' * 1'9.7''

• Kitchen ota is drawn by taking offset at 2' and unwanted porion is trimmed as shown below

• Click on layer properties
• The following image shows the layers I have choosen

• As per above layer colour select the unit and select its layer
• It will automatically select the colour given by me
• Click on line type
• Load
• Select line type as ACAD_ISO02W100
• And press ok
• And select the stairs which have to shown dotted and select line type as ACAD_ISO2W100 as shown below

• I have kept all the layers on, all the drawing freez, and all the layers are unlock and colours are given as per above pic
• Selected all the units as per layer
• The layoutof residence plan is ready

• Result:

- For Bedrooms and Toilet :

- For Remaining parts :

- For Door Schedule :

- For the total Residential plan :

2. Outdoor seating with canopy :

• Aim :To sketch the seating plan for an outdoor canopy by assuming the dimensions for the seating

• Introduction :

• This outdoor seating with canopy contains one round table of radius 452mm and four chairs

• Procedure :

• Click on AutoCAD application and open this application
• Type QNEW in command bar and enter
• Select default setting as Metric
• Press Enter
• I have kept snap and grid setting off
• Keep ortho on
• Press UN and enter and set unit
• Type- Decimal
• Units to inserted content - milimeter
• Precision- 0
• Enter
• Enter limit command in command bar and enter
• Limits specify first left corner > 0,0
• Limit specify upper right corner > 2000,2000
• Enter
• Press Z + enter A + Enter
• Keep all the object snaps on
• Take circle command
• Specify centre of the circle as randomly
• Specify radius of that circle = 1398 and enter
• Take again circle command
• Specify centre as the same taken before
• Specify radius as 452 as shown below

• Now, we have to draw chair
• Take rectangle of size 600*200
• Enter
• Take any two corners of rectangle and fillet those corner of radius 50mm
• Take arc command
• Select- Start,End,Direction
• As per convenience arc is drawn by considering remaining two corners
• Trim the middle line in arc and rectangle as shown below

• Take offset command
• Specify offset distance as 20
• Select object as arc
• And give the offset to the last offset at distance 80
• And by using line command close this arcs
• By using rectangle command draw the two rectangle of size 80*164 and put these rectangle in a proper position as shown below

• Take copy command
• Take 4 copies of this above chair out of these three copies
• Out of the three copies
• By taking rotate command and base point as centre of chair
• Rotate one chair at 90
• 2nd at 180
• 3rd at 270
• Move all these chairs and keep in proper position as shown in result

• Result:

3. Aim : To sketch the part plan for the toilet and utilities room

• Introduction :

• The above plan consist of a toilet and utility room
• The outer wall thickness= 300mm
• The inner wall thickness= 150mm

• Procedure :

• Click on AutoCAD application and open this application
• Type QNEW in command bar and enter
• Select default setting as Metric
• Press Enter
• I have kept snap and grid setting off
• Keep ortho on
• Press UN and enter and set unit
• Type- Decimal
• Units to inserted content - milimeter
• Precision- 0
• Enter
• Enter limit command in command bar and enter
• Limits specify first left corner > 0,0
• Limit specify upper right corner > 2500,5000
• Enter
• Press Z + enter A + Enter
• Keep all the object snaps on
• Take circle command
• Specify centre of the circle as randomly
• Specify radius of that circle = 1398 and enter
• Take again circle command
• Specify centre as the same taken before
• Specify radius as 452 as shown below

• Provide appropriate offsets to leave space for doors
• For D4 = 832, D5 + 828
• By using offset command provide proper spacing for windows and ventilator
• For W9 = 728, V = 431
• Also provide duct of size 402*201 as shown below

• Provide window line and ventilator line
• By using line and circle command sketch the door as shown below

• Trim the unwanted parts
• Similarly draw the toilet door also
• Give the dimensions as shown in fig
