STEP WISE PROCEDURE:
- Enter the xline command and draw the line in both x axis and y axis.
- Make offset of 9” and make the wall
- The main wall is made of thickness 9”
- Partition walls are made of 4.5” thickness
- Next enter the offset command in the command box, then press enter. And select the lines which we have drawn previously and offset the lines to 9.0"
- After providing walls, remove the extra lines using the trim command
- In the same way offset command is used to partition the rooms, toilets, living and dinning hall as per the dimensions.
- Staircase provided is a dog legged stair.
- Draw the stairs left side of parking with 1' tread and 6' riser, that is shown in figure clearly.
- Next we have to draw the doors with the given dimensions for D1, D2, D3.
- provide the dimensions
- differentiate the doors and staircase using different colours.
- And also give the names for the rooms in the residential building.
- To provide the names mtext command is used.
RESULT:
The given residential plan is drawn using autocad.
Q 2 ) Sketch the seating plan for an outdoor canopy. Assume the dimensions for the seating. Also, consider the dimensions in mm
Aim: To Draw the required furniture i.e., Outdoor canopy assuming the necessary dimensions in mm
Introduction: Drawing the necessary residence layout plan using AutoCAD and necessary commands and some necessary series and procedures has to be followed.

Command: C
CIRCLE
Specify center point for circle or [3P/2P/Ttr (tan tan radius)]:
Specify radius of circle or [Diameter] <1398>: 452
- Next here we have to draw the rectangle inside the first circle, then we have to enter the fillet command and select the rectangle coner to fillet it.
- Next we select the arc command to create are left side of the rectangle
- Copy the created chair and use array command
- By using polar array and providing the number of items as 4 the chairs are created as shown below.
RESULT:
An outdoor conopy is created as per the details given using autocad.
Q3) Sketch the part plan for the toilers and utilities room. Consider the outer wall thickness as 300mm and binner wall thickness as 150mm. Also, assume the missing dimension, Texts, dimensions, and hatches are
only for references. Also, symbols for toilets and w/c are also for references.
Aim: Sketch the part plan for the toilers and utilities room. Consider the outer wall thickness as 300mm and inner wall thickness as 150mm.
