Creating a Residence Layout, Seating plan, Toilet and Utility room plan using AutoCad
Q1.
Aim: Sketch the layout of a residence as shown in the Figure 1.
Introduction:
- In Layout we can add, delete & rename the layers, change their properties, set property overrides in layout viewports & add layer descroptions.
- By giving Layer command.
- Layer list:
- New Layer: Creates a layer with a default name that you can immediately change.
- Name: Display the name of the layer or filter.
- Lay On & Off: It turns the selected layers On & Off. When the layer is On its visible & available for plotting & when its Off its invisible and not plotted.
- Freeze: It freezes the selected layers. Objects on frozen layer are not displayed, plotted or regenerated.
- Lock: Lock & Unlock the selected layers. Objects on the layers cannot be modified.
- Color: Display the selected colour dailogue box, where you can specify a color for the selected layer.
- Transparency: Display the Transparency dailog box, where you can specify a transparency for the selected layers.
- Plot style: Display the select plot style daiog box where you can change the plot style for the selected layers.
- Plot: Controls whether the selected layers are plotted. If you turn off plotting for a layer, the objects on that layer are still displayed. Layers that are off or frozen that are not plotted.
