Creating Kitchen layout, Hatching of Architectural elements and sectional view of an Industrial Building in AutoCad

Aim & Introduction

Aim:

This challenge aims to to let the student experience a hands on application of the hatching command in the AutoCAD software while providing an inner collaboration with architectural sketches. It allows the student to understand the importance of the hatching tool in such sketches. It also aims to practice the student in sketching residential or Architectural works while utilizing the tools provided by the AutoCAD software

Introduction:

The AutoCAD software provides different tools. used in this challenge is as described below: Line- creates line object

Polyline- creates rectangle line object Rectangle- creates rectangles object Circle- create circle object

Trim-Cut unwanted lines or shapes with the provided cutting edges Extended- Extend lines to opposite corners

Move- Move objects to particular locations Copy- Copy obejects to particular locations

Rotate- Rotate selected objects to a particular angle with respect to base point Array- Copy an object in a set path linearly or polarly

Join- Joins separated line objects to a particular angle with respect to base point Dimlinear(DLI)- provides vertical or horizontal linear/ straight dimensions Dimligned(DAL)- Provides dimensions with respect to the angle of the object Dimangular(DAN)- Provides angular dimensions between two line objects.

Quicklinedimension(QDIM)-provides quick dimension of a geometry Leader- creates an arrow head line

Layer- Provides identification of line or object groups by their properties

Units- Open "Drawings Units" window to specify to modify the dimension properties Hatch- provides hatching pattern in a given object or internal point

Sketch and Procedure

Create the layouts of the kitchen and provide hatches pattern as ALso, use blocks wherever required. Provide appropriate dimensions in the plan.Assume the size of doors,appliances, and others as per the standars

Procedure:

Proceed with the wall,doors and windows. This image is present on both plans

Create the inside boundary using rectangle command. Offset the by 230mm outside to create the wall thicknes

Explode the rectangles.Offset to make the opening boundary and trim

Create the hatching boundaries

Hatch the wall using "Pick internal points" and edit using the hatch tab on top of the interface or the properties tab

Create the door. use polylines,rectangles and circle. Utilize mirror tool as well

Proceed with the window sketch. Use the same tools used in creatingthe door

Join the lines to close the window

Duplicate the plan for above and below counter

--->Proceed with below the counter plan

Create lines,trim lines and fillet corners with radius 100. Change linetype to hidden. Change line scale in properties tab to show the lines

Create the lines for the intersection.Use line and copy tool

To create dimensions, use dimlinear command and dimmcontinue for easy progress

Adjustements are provided to accomodate the 4300 inner dimensions

Offset lines to create depth.Use trim to cut unnecessary lines

Add the rectangle object at the corners and sletch the door using rectangle and move tool.

Utilize the sketch tool to for easy progress. Use 10mm spacing for the doors and 20mm thickness

Create the HOb sketch. Use rectangle with 600x500 dimension. Circles with diameter of 200 and 150

Turn on Geometric center in the Osnap settings to check the center of the rectangle

Use mirror with center of the rectangle as mirror plane to dumplicate the objects

Then mirror again to invert objets

Use dtext to add the text object

Proceed with the top part. Create boundary lines using line tools

Trim the lines and add line objects to enclose the boundaries

Vertical line thickness is 20mm both sides. The top line 10mm and 50mm for the bottom line

Change the outer bottom line to hidden line. Use match properties (ma) command for easy progress

Trim unnecessary lines to finish

Create therectangle on the lower right side

Create the doors with 20mm thickness and 10mm spacing same as the first one

Add the inside objects using circle,rectangle,copy,text and fillet tool

Use rectangle and lines for the fridge object. Use circle tool as cell for the corner opeing

Add the text and finish

-------> Proceed with the above counter

Copy any relative lines from below to above plan. Change line type as appropriate

Add the border lines for the below part.

Trim the line appropriately

Create the cabinet walls using offset and trim tool. Thickness is 20mm. Bottom part is 10mm

Trim unnecessary lines

Create the chimney as below

Add Centerline in the Linetype manager

Explode the dimension line and edit as below. Add the appropriate texts using dtext command

Proceed with above objects. Create boundary lines. trim the lines appropriately

Create the walls. Thickness=20mm Use offset,copy and trim tools.

Trim and add the rectangles and add text

Add the missing dimensions using dimlinear to finish

Convert necessary items to blocks

RESULT

2) Create teh elevation of the plan created in the challenge 7 and apply proper hatch in the walls,doors,windows, and other architectural Refer to the dimensions in plans and section in challeneg 7

PROCEDURE:

Project the borders from theplan and existing elevation. The view is south of the plan. Use ray or xline tool

Create the border

Utilize rectangle or line tool to your linking. Then delete the boundary lines when not needed.Start from the top for easier time. Create the O.H.T. Proceed with the upper structure (Staircase to rooftop).

Create the canopy

Trim unnecessary lines after. Top part is finished

Proceed to the the bottom most part

Project the columns

Copy the canopy from the elevation

Proceed with the balcony

Proceed with the windows

Create the side window

Add hatches to identify structural elements

RESULTS

Create the section view of an industrial building as shown in Provide appropriate hatches and dimensions wherever required. Also, provide annotations to the drawing

PROCEDURE:

Create the borders using lines. Start from ground level

Add the grid tags and dimensions

Add the borders of wall

Trim the unnecessary lines

Do the same procedure for the top slab

Add the wall hatch

Add lines inside

Create the duct

Add necessary texts and dimensions using dimlinear,dtext,move, and copy tool

Add arrows using the leader command

Add the manhole use line and trim command

RESULT

Conclusion:

The block tool and hatch is a convenient tool provided by the AutoCAD software where you can manipulate multiple objects into one objects. It also allows you to store objects in a server which can be used in other sketches. Same goes for the hatching tool which allows the user to create shading or pattern in a given point or object in which it can identify the objects in the sketch
