AIM:

To Draw the above metioned drawings with required unit measurements by using AutoCAD.

INTRODUCTION:

  • Residential Layout is ideal for students and practitioners of urban design, planning, engineering, architecture and landscape seeking a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of designing and laying out residential areas
  • Commands used:
  • Limmax command
  • Limits command
  • Zoom command
  • Xline command
  • Line command
  • Dimlinear command
  • Dimstyle command
  • Units command
  • Text command
  • LW command
  • Extend command
  • Trim command

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.

AIM:

To draw the given seating plan for an outdoor conopy in detail.

INTRODUCTION:

  • A canopy is an overhead roof or else a structure over which a fabric or metal covering is attached, able to provide shade or shelter from weather conditions such as sun, hail, snow and rain.
  • Canopy can also be a tent, generally without a floor.
  • The seating plan of oudoor canopy is places in many places, like receptions, restaurants etc.

COMMANDS USED:

Limits command

Zoom command

Circle command

Arc command

array

Dimstyle commands

Units command

Text command

LW command

STEP WISE PROCEDURE:

Command: UN

UNITS

Command: C

CIRCLE

Specify center point for circle or [3P/2P/Ttr (tan tan radius)]:

Specify radius of circle or [Diameter]: 1398

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.

AIM:

To draw the part plan for the toilets and utilities in detail.

INTRODUCTION:

  • A toilet room usually consists of obviously a toilet, Lavatory and all of the accessones, such as grab bars and dispensers
  • There are many layouts of this type but we will explore one very simple design and the code requirements for each

  • The room is also used for closet organization and storage.
  • The room would normally contain a second coat closet which is used to store seasonal clothing such as winter costs or clothing which are no longer used daily.

COMMANDS USED:

Limmax command

Limits command

Zoom command

Line command

Dimlinear command

STEP WISE PROCEDURE:

Command: UN

UNITS

  • The lines are drawn using xline command in both x and y direction.

Command: xline

Command: xline

  • The wall thickness is provided as 300mm for the outer walls

Command: offset

Offset distance: 300

  • The wall thickness for the inside walls are provided as 150mm.

Command: offset
