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 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
