Question 2)
Answer:
Aim: To create elevation of the plan created in challenge 7
Introduction: Create elevation of the plan created in challenge 7 and apply hatch to walls, doors, window and other architectural elements.
XLine: It means construction line. It has infinty edges we used for making wall. By typing "XL" on command line we envoke this tool.
Line: It connects one point to another points. Used to draft various elements.
Trim: This modification tool helps to cut extended edges on the drawing. And to trim inbetween two line or elements. "TR" command to envoke this tool.
Extend: It is also a modification tool, if we have some broken edges or need to extend some portion towards anonther element. "EX" command to envoke the tool.
Offset: Offset the existing element with certain distance. this tool avoid to create new parallel elements.
Layer: Each and every elements has unique property and unique style. This layer tool helps to organize those. Line weight, line style, colour gradient, freeze, lock. it has numerous benefits in Auto CAD drafting.
Hatch: Hatching helps to fill the voids with certain texture on it. If we draft wall means, we mention the brickwork details with the help of hatching.
Circle: Used to make circle elements in the sheet. Type "C" to envoke this tool. Here it is used to draft door.
Procedure:
STEP-1: Open AutoCAD
Open Autocad
In startup setting start from scratch select(Meter)
Open grid and snap setting
Change grid and grid spacing to 0.1
Change major line every grid line to 10
