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

Aim:- To create Residential layout, seating plan, toilet and utility plan by using AutoCAD

Introduction:-

Resident layout

• Resident layout is a geographical localize community within a large city, town or suburb
• Resident layout refers to the from, scale and function of buildings and open space for the purpose of creating functionality, efficient and aesthetically pleasing physical environment for living, working etc.,

Seating plan

• Seating plan is made at outside of the building in the drawing
• Seating plan is required for sitting to the guests

Toilet and utilities

• Toilets and utilities are draft inside the building in the drawing

AutoCAD:-

• We use different commands for creating this drawings
• The different commands are construction line, offset, arc, circle etc.,

Procedure:-

• Go to start menu, click on Start drawing
• Type stratup (Enter) in command line
• Enter the new value of start up:1
• Go to application menu and select new or type new in command line
• In the "create new drawing" dialogue box contains imperial type of systems and metric type of system
• We select the metric system in the "start from scratch" option
• After that in Advance setup option select the decimal unit system in the units

The above procedure should be followed every time when the new sheet is opened

Entering the start up command in the command line

Entering the value 1 for the start up

When we go to the new file then we get this file select the metric from start from scratch

Then advance setup setting should be done by clicking OK

Keep the units in decimal and adjust precision then click next

Keep angle in decimal degree and adjust precision then click next

Select the angle measurement in east and click on next

Select angle direction in counter clockwise and click on next

Keep the width as 12m and length of 9m as default and click on finish

Aim:- To draft the residential layout

Procedure:-

By using direct distance entry method

• Here all the units are in Engineering (inches and feet's)

• Trim off unwanted lines inside toilets

To get Dining and Living room

• Take a offset of 11'-0" downwards from the 4.5" wall which is used for the toilets
• Here there is no wall in between the dining and living

To get Parking

• Take a offset of 9" wall from the living room wall which is a main wall
• The remaining area left is used as a parking area which has a dimension of 11'-9"x13'-9.5"

To get kitchen

• Take a offset of 4.5" from the dining wall to create the kitchen
• Take a offset of 6'-8" from the 4.5" wall to downwards
• Take a distance of 6'-4" from the main door to create a wall for kitchen the remaining portion is for opening
• Take a offset of 9" from the 6'-4" line to create the main wall

To get stairs

• Take a offset of 6'-0" from the 9" main wall which is near the kitchen
• Take a offset of 12'-6" from the vertical line to create the steps
• The width of the first flight is 3' and width of second flight is 3'
• The tread size of the steps is 1' and riser size of step is 6"

To draft door D3

• Draw a line of 3'-3" and create a frame of 2" vertical line and 1" horizontal line by using line
• By using a start end angle method in arc draw a curve having an angle of 90 degree

To draft door D1

• Draw a line of 3'-0" and create a frame of 2" vertical line and 1" horizontal line by using line
• By using a start end angle method in arc draw a curve having an angle of 90 degree

To draft door D2

• Draw a line of 2'-6" and create a frame of 2" vertical line and 1" horizontal line by using line
• By using a start end angle method in arc draw a curve having an angle of 90 degree

To draft Window

• Draw a line from the mid point of the living room to the wall
• Take a offset of 3'-0" from the mid line of living room to the left and right side of that line
• Join a line to the mid of 2 lines which is attached to room wall

Resident layout draft by using AutoCAD

Aim:- To draft the seating plan

Procedure:-

By using direct distance entry method

• Here all the units are in millimetre
• Draw a circle having a radius 452mm and by using same centre draw a another circle having a radius 1398mm
• Then create a seating

To create a seating

• Draw a horizontal line of 500mm then draw a vertical line having a distance 270mm at both the sides
• By using a start end angle method draw an arc having an angle of 180 degree
• Take a offset of 25mm from the arc and then again take a offset of 50mm from the 25mm arc which is used for support
• create a rectangle by using a line which has a dimension of 50mmx120mm below the support
• Use a fillet option to get a smooth curve at the edges which has a radius 50mm
• Use a array for taking more number of object
• Use a polar array in array option give an angle as 90 degree so that the 4 seating can arrange equally
