Creating a Residence Layout, Seating plan, Toilet and Utility room plan using AutoCad
1)
Aim:
To draw the layout of a residence plan.
Commands Used: 1. XL-V OR XL-H.
2. Offset
3. Fillet.
4. Extend.
5. Trim.
6. Rectangle
Procedure:
First create a new AutoCAD file with imperial settings.
Make sure that in units the type is "Engineering" (as the dimension is in feet and inches) and also set the
precision.
Set the limits with command "LIMITS" specify the left corner points and right corner points.
Draw construction lines by command "XL-V", for vertical and "XL-H" for horizontal.
Drawing parking and staircase room
Draw offset of 12'6" to draw the parking, then give offset of 9" towards inside.
Give offset 13'9.5" from the living wall towards downwards.
Extend both side lines towards this line.
Extend outer wall of kitchen, so that the staircase room is defined.
Drawing staircase:
Given: thread: 1
riser: 6"
Give a wall thickness of 9" for the staircase room.
Divide the staircase room by giving offset of 3' from the front wall thickness.
Give an offset of 1.96" to show the handrail (Assume ,5cm is usually given)
Draw offset of 1'(thread) to draw the stairs in plain view.
Draw 9 offsets as there are 9 risers for 8 steps.
Trim of the lines between the handrails and give the other side as dotted lines (it indicates that it is the upward stairs, not visible when viewing ground floor plan)
For that select the lines and change the line type to ISO dash.
Mark the direction of stairs.
Drawing dining and living room
Give offset of 11' from the wall of toilet and also the wall of 9"
Extend the left wall towards the 11' line and 9" line.
Use fillet to join this line and the wall of toilet 2.
Give an offset of 87.5" to understand the partition between the dining and living
Trim off the wall thickness of dinning and offset it as 4.5".
Drawing kitchen
Give an offset from the dinning wall of 6'8" and give an offset of 9" for the wall thickness.
Extend the left wall towards this line.
Give an offset of 11" towards + x direction and offset the wall thickness as 9".
Drawing toilet 1:
Offset 4'6" downwards then also offset 4.5" wall.
Extend the left side wall towards the line 46" and the wall
From that line offset 8'3" towards + x direction and offset the wall of 4'5" also.
Trim off the unwanted lines.
Drawing toilet 2:
Extend the wall thickness of bed 2 to the 4'6" line.
Offset a distance of 8'1.5" towards - x direction and also 4'5" wall thickness.
Trim off the unwanted lines.
Drawing bedroom 1:
Take offset of both construction lines of 9” by using command "O"- give offset distance as 0'9 in the
command box.
Then take the offset of 117.5" to the +x direction and offset of 12'-y direction so that the room is formed.
Again, give offset to the both lines with 4.5" so that the wall thickness is created.
‘Trim off the unwanted lines.
Drawing bedroom 2:
Give offset from the wall thickness of bed 1 towards + x direction of 1'6",
Offset the 9" to create wall on right side.
Extend the line of 12’ from bed 1 towards this line. Command "EX" select the line to where it should be
extended 4.5" offset line of bed 2.
Trim off the rest of the lines.
Drawing doors
Trim all the door openings with their respective width D1-3, D2-2'6", D3-3'3".
For open kitchen, trim the line retaining a distance of 6'4" from right side of kitchen.
Draw doors creating a hinge of 0.5" from the midpoint of both the wall, then drawing a circle with one point on the midpoint of one hinge and other the midpoint of another hinge.
windows:
For living, take an offset of 13", this is where the window starts (as it is given)
Using line command draw a line of 6' from the centre of offset line inside the wall thickness.
Draw windows wherever necessary:
from middle portion of a wall draw a line, from the midpoint of that line give the distance i.e., the width of the window, then join the other side.
wl-6' w2-4' v-2 Trim all the unwanted lines and fillet the corners with fillet radius zero.
Command: "F" - select both the lines (fillet radius is zero by default) Drawing the kitchen slab and cupboards: Offset a distance of 2' to make the kitchen slab.
Draw the cupboard by creating a rectangle Command "REC"-specify base point - click on dimension -give dimension as 5' x 2: Copy the rectangle to another bedroom also.
layers:
create new layers from the layer property and name the layers according to requirerment of the drawing
OUTPUT:
layout of a residence as shown in the Figure 1 is drawn.
2
Aim:
To draw the seating plan for an outdoor canopy.
Commands Used: 1. XL-V OR XL-H.
2. Offset
3. Fillet.
4. Extend.
5. Trim.
6. Circle
Procedure:
Creating circles: Select metric units as the diamensions is in mm.
Draw a circle with acommand "C" select a centre point anfd give the radius as 1398mm.
Draw another circle with same centre with radius 452mm.
Draw lines along the diameter of the bigger circle to place the chairs in symmetry
Drawing chairs Draw a rectangle with command "REC" giving dimensions as 400 mm and 200 mm.
Draw an arc with start-centre and end method with the end points and centre of the side(400mm) of rectangle.
Draw another rectangle of 250mm x200mm for the handle of the chair Command: "REC" -select the base point and click on dimension and give as 250mm and 200mm.
Copy it on the other side so that both handles are formed.
Fillet the corner of rectangle by 50mm Command "O"- give the fillet radius as 50mm
select the two lines, and trim off the unwanted line.
Move the chair and place it such a way that it touches tangently.
By using Command "M"- select the base point and move it. Mirror the chair to the opposite side-Command "MI" - select the base point and draw the reference line where we need to mirror.
Rotate the chair and move it so that the chair in left side is created Command "RO" -select the base point and rotate to desired angle. Again, mirror the chair so as to create chair in right side.
OUTPUT:
The seating plan for outdoor canopy is drawn
3)
Aim:
To draw plan for the toilers and utilities room.
Commands Used: 1. XL-V OR XL-H.
2. Offset
3. Fillet.
4. Extend.
5. Trim.
6. Design centre.
7. Hactch
Procedure:
First create a new Auto Cad file with metric units.
Set the limits with command "LIMITS".
Specify the left corner points and right corner points.
Draw construction lines by command "XL-V" for vertical and "XL-H" for horizontal.
Trim the left side and bottom position of the construction lines.
Drawing DH Toilet:
Draw an offset of 1700 mm upwards and wall thickness of 300 mm as it is the external wall, and a room is formed. Trim off the rest of the construction lines.
Drawing utility room:
Draw an offset of 300mm from the left side of vertical construction line and an offset of 150mm from the bottom horizontal construction line.
Draw an offset of 2100 mm upwards and offset of 1900 mm towards the right side and give the wall thickness of150mm and 300mm respectively.
Create opening for doors: From toilet, after offset of 100mm, give another offset of 832mm and trim to form the door opening by creating 15 mm hinge and then draw circle to the midpoint of other side of wall.Trim off the rest of circle to form an arc.
Draw window of 728mm in the utility room and a ventilator of 631 mm in toilet room.
Draw the duct shown behind the toilet room by offset at a distance of 201 mm and 150mm wall thick ness upwards.
Extend the wall of toilet towards it and offset 402 mm, offset wall thickness as 150mm.
Fillet the corners of the room.
Drawing of utility symbols: In the command line enter "DS" and select en-us-home utility -select the symbols by draging them into Auto Cad screen and place whereever required
hatch the walls with the help of hatch tool
OUTPUT:
The plan for utility and toilers is drawn
