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

Drawing I :

Aim:

To create a Residence layout, toilet and utility room plan using Autocad

Introduction:

  • The main objective of this challege is to get in touch with various tools in Autocad like rectangle, poly lines, circle arc modification tools likw copy, move, offset, mirror, trim, fillet .These tools will be understood by creating a residence layout,seating plan,Toilet and Utility room plan.
  • Creating a Residence laout using AUTOCAD.

Procedure:

  1. -First create a new Autocad file with metric settings.
  2. -Set the limits by using LIMITS command, specify the left corner point and enter zoom all then press Z, enter then.
  3. -Draw the construction lines by using commands such as XL-V for vertical and XL-H for horizonatal.
  4. -Now using trim coomand trim the left side and the top side of construction line.

Bedroom No-1 (11'7.5"x12')

  • We will take an offset of 9" on both the sides of construction lines by using the offset command
  • Then take an offset of 11'7.5" in the horizontal direction and offset of 12' below of the cpnstruction horizontal line.
  • Again give offset of 4.5" to both the lines to create thickness of wall
  • Trim the extra lines.

Bedroom No-2 (11'6"x12')

  • We will give an offset of 11'6" from the wall end of bedroom 1 in horizontal direction(x-Axis)
  • Offset the wall of 9" on the righter end/side
  • Now Extending line 12' Y-axis
  • Trim off the rest of the lines in vertical and horizontal direction
  • Delete if any excess line which are unable to trim.

Drawing of Toilet-1 (8'3" x 4'6")

  • Using the offset command, we will take offset of 4'6" downward and then the offset (o) of 4.5" on wall end
  • Now, extend the left wall side towards the line of 4'5" and the wall
  • now from that line offset 8'3" towards in x-direction and also 4.5" wall thickness
  • Trim off the extra lines using trim command(TR double ENTER).

Drawing of Toilet-2 (8'-1.5" x4'-6.0")

  • Using the extend command, we will extend the wall thickness of bedroom 2 and 4'6" line
  • now the offset command we will take offset at 8'1.5" in x-direction and also 4.5" wall thickness
  • Trim off the extra line sing trim command.

Drawing of dining and living room (11' x8'7.5")

  • Use offset command and give 11' from the wall of toilet and also give wall of 9"
  • Now usig extend command, extend left wall of toil give an offset of 8'7.5" to understand the partition between the dinning and offset it as 4.5".

Drawing of Kitchen:

  • again by using offset command give an offset at 6'8" (Y-axis)from dining wall and also give an offset of 9" for the wall thickness
  • Extend wall towards the line.

Drawing of Parking:

  • Take an offser of 12'6" to draw parking and then give an offset of 9" towards inside end
  • Now again give an offset of 13'9.5" from living wall to downwards direction
  • Extend both the lines towards the line and extendouter wall of kitchen so that the staircase room is defined.

Drawing of Windows:

  • For living room take an offset 1'3" as given in the question figure.
  • Using line command draw a line of 6' from centre of offseted line inside the wall thickness.
  • Trim all the extra line using trim command.

Drawing of Kitchen Slab:

  • Offset adistance of 2' to make the kitchen slab.

Drawing of Cupboard:

  • By creating a rectangular section of 5'x2' in dimension, a rectangle is created.
  • Copy this rectangle to other bedroom.

Drawing of Staircase:

  • Size of thread=1".
  • Size of riser=6".
  • Wall thickness of 9"from staircase room.
  • Dividing the staircase=3' from the front wall thickness.
  • Give an offset of 1' and draw stairs in plan view.
  • Draw 9"offset as there are 9 riser for 8 steps.
  • Trim the line between handrails and other line in dotted which indicate its 1st floor stairs which will not be visible from ground floor plan view.
  • For other side of stairs change line type to ISO dash and mark the direction of stairs.

Drawing of Doors:

  • Create an opening for respective doors usingthe width given in the table of given question.
  • Draw doors by creating an hinge of 0.5"from the midpoint of both the wall,then drawing a circle with one point on the midpoint of hinged and other at midpoint of another hinged.

Layers:

Now, place each component in layers

  • For layer creation
  • From layer property create new layer, Create different layers depending upon all the features like, wall,doors, windows, kitchen slab,cupboard, dimesion,stairs etc
  • specify different colours to distinguish in between easily.
  • Now select the object and place it in individual layers.

Drawing II :

Aim:

To draw the sketch of the seating plan for an outdoor canopy of given figure in Autocad.

Introduction:

Sketch the layout of a residence as shown in the figure 2 Consider all dimension as reference to sketch the unit plan. All the dimension are in mm.

Procedure:

  • First create a new AUTOCAD file with metric settings using AUTOCAD 2023.
  • Set the limits by using LIMITS command, specify the left corner point and then the right corner point and enter zoom all and then press Z enter then.

Command Circle:

  • Specify Center Point For Circle or [3P/2PTtr(tan tan radius)]: 20,20.
  • Draw circle using circle command of radius 1398 mm .
  • Specify Center Point For Circle or [3P/2PTtr(tan tan radius)]: 20,20.
  • Draw another circle using same command of radius 452mm .
  • Divide the circle into 4 quadrants by using line command and object snap.

I assume required dimension for creating chair

Drawing Chairs:

Command:

Rec, Arc, Fillet, Trim, Offset

  • Command Rec @10,10, then specify dimension @400,200.
  • Now draw an arc with start-centre-end with the endpoints and center of length of rectangle.
  • So arc is drawn to length side of rectangle.
  • Now give command offset 'o 'of 30mm, from arc and join the end points of offset arc.
  • Draw a another rectangle of 120mm and width 30mm using rec command.
  • Copy this rectangle to another side using rectangle command.
  • Now using fillet command the corner of bigger rectangle giving fillet radius of 50mm and trim the extra lines.

  • Now we can move a chair and place it in such a way that it touches the offseted 180mm circle, taking reference diameter line.
  • Using move command, sellecting base point and move the chair to opposite of base line point.
  • Now, using mirror command mirror the chair to opposite side by selecting one base point.
  • Again mirror it to create the chair in right side.
  • Delete extra lines if not trimmed properly.
  • Now dimensions to the circle.

Drawing III:

Aim:

Sketch the part plan for the toilers and utilities room

Introduction:

  • Sketch the layout of a residence as shown, Assume and consider given dimension as reference to draw plan.
  • All dimesion are in mm

Procedure:

  • First create a new Autocad file with metric settings.
  • Set the limits by using LIMITS command, specify the left corner point and then the right corner point and enter zoom all and then press Z enter then.
  • Draw the construction lines by using commands such as XL-V for vertical and XL-H for horizontal.
  • Now using trim command trim the left side and the bottom side of construction line.

Drawing of Utility Room:

  • Draw an other of 300mm from left side of vertical construction lone and an offset of 150mm from bottom of construction line.
  • O (offset)=300 & O (offset)=150mm.
  • Now, Draw an offset(O) of 2100mm upwards (Y-axis)and offset (O) of 1900mm towards the right side(X-axis) and give the wall thickness as 150mm for Utility Room.

Drawing of DH Toilet:

  • Draw an offset of 1700 mm upwards(Yaxis) and 1900 in X-axis, wall thickness of 300mm using offset command.
  • Trim the extra lines using trim command(TR & Double Enter).

Drawing of Door:

  • For utility room take an offset of 828mm from wall side.
  • Trim extra lines and opening is created on it.
  • Now for creating doors, create hinge of 25mm and then draw circle to midpoint of other side of wall.
  • Trim the extra circle to form arc.

Drawing of Window:

  • Draw a window of 728mm in utility room and ventilator of 631mm in toilet using offset, trim command.
  • Draw duct behind the toilet by offsetting 201mm and 150mm wall thickness upwards.
  • Now extend the wall of toilet toward it and offset of 402mm again, offset wall thickness is given of 150mm.
  • Now dimension all the lines and trim extra lines.

Place WC & Sink:

  • Press Cntrl+2 or Type Dc in Command tab.
  • Go as per DC command > Sample > en-us .
  • En-us > Design Center > House Designer.dwg.
  • House Designer.dwg > Block Now Drag and Drop toilet top view and sink into drawing.
