Creating Kitchen layout, Hatching of Architectural elements and sectional view of an Industrial Building in AutoCad
Aim: - To Create the layouts of the Kitchen and provide a hatched pattern as shown in the figure using AutoCAD.
Introduction: - The Kitchen Layout is drawn using proper drafting tools, primarily using the Line tool and after sketching, the dimensions and text are provided with the use of layers. Also, Blocks and Hatching have been used in the drawing as per the requirement. The procedure of drawing is explained in detail with diagrams of each step and the final result is given.
All dimensions are taken in mm.
PROCEDURE: -
Before we start the drawings we need to set up the drawing as Metric and the units into Decimal Units.
Following are the steps in order to set up the drawing as Imperial Template and the units into Engineering Units.
- Go to Application Menu or click CTRL + N (New)
- Click on New from the Application Menu
- A popup menu appears, click on the first tab known as Start from Scratch > Select Metric
- Now click on the third tab known as Use a Wizard > Go to Advance setup > A Dialog box appears > Select the unit of measurement as Decimal > Press Next > select Angle as Decimal Degrees > Press Next > Select Angle Measure > Press Next > Select Angle Direction > Press Next > Select Area > Click Finish
- Set the page limit by entering Limits in the command tab. The lower left corner is specified as 0,0 and the upper right corner is specified as 410, 297.
- In the Drawing Units dialog box, select 'Engineering' in Type; ' 0 ' in Precision; and 'Millimeter' in Insertion scale.
- Click OK
- Now we are all set to go.
Now,
- Import the drawing pdf which we are given to draw.
- Go to Ribbon Tab
- Click on Insert
- Then click on the PDF Import tool
- Import the required pdf.
Now,
- In order draw the drawing perfectly according to the size, we need to Scale it.
- So draw any dimension of the imported drawing like the size of the section wardrobe and draw it on the workspace by using line tool and direct distance method.
In order to Scale the Drawing,
- First select the entire imported drawing
- Select the base point
- Go to Reference option in the command box
- Select any dimension length of the imported drawing
- Then directing enter the scale length like 4230 or
- You can click on Points in the command box and select the two points of the line i.e., the first and the end point of the line which you have drawn.
- Now you are all set to go.
Now,
- Type LA or Layer command in the command box.
- A layer dialog box appears
- Choose the required layers as per the Kitchen Layout.

Now,
- Select the wall layer and draw the walls
- Take offset of 230 mm.
- Trim the unwanted lines.

Now,
- Draw the doors and windows
- Use the respective layers
- Taking door size as 1050 X 2100
- And Window size as 930 X 1200

Now,
- Draw the other components of the Kitchen.
- Use the different drafting tools like offset, trim, etc.

Now, its time for Dimension
- Enter 'DST command in the command tab to open the Dimension Style Manager dialog box.
- Click on Standard
- Click on the Modify tab.
- Select the arrow size as 40 and the text size as 45
- Select text colour as yellow
- Type Dimlinear in the command box for linear dimensions
- Type Dimaligned in the command box for aligned dimensions
- Type Dimangular in the command box for angular dimensions
- Rest leave everything as it is.

Note: - The same steps are followed for the second drawing too.
Now, its time for Hatching.
- Go to Draw Panel.
- There you will get a Hatch icon.
- Click on that, the following window opens
- Do as per the required hatching.

RESULT: -

Aim: - To Create the elevation of the plan created in the Challenges 7 and apply proper hatch in the walls, doors, windows, and other architectural elements, above using AutoCAD.
Introduction: - The plan is the most important part of any building construction. It provides the elevation view of the building. The Plan detailed drawing is created in AutoCAD using primarily the Line tool and after sketching, the dimensions and text are provided with the use of layers. Also, Blocks and Hatching have been used in the drawing as per the requirement. The procedure of drawing is explained in detail with diagrams of each step and the final result is given.

Now,
- In order draw the drawing perfectly according to the size, we need to Scale it.
- So draw any dimension of the imported drawing like the size of the section wardrobe and draw it on the workspace by using line tool and direct distance method.
In order to Scale the Drawing,
- Firstly,
- Type UN or unit and then take the decimal precision upto 2 decimal points.

- Then
- Select the entire imported drawing
- Select the base point
- Go to Reference option in the command box
- Select any dimension length of the imported drawing
- Then directing enter the scale length like 2550 or
- You can click on Points in the command box and select the two points of the line i.e., the first and the end point of the line which you have drawn.
- Now you are all set to go.
Now,
- Type L or Line and draw a line of length 11604 horizonatally.
- Type O or Offset in the command box and give a offset of 150mm in downward direction the above drawn line.
- Press Escape to close the command.
- Type L or Line and draw a line of length 2077 vertically.
- Again type O or Offset in the command box and give a offset of 250mm in vertical direction.
- Draw the column below groundlevel as shown in the figure. Take width 250mm and depth 489mm.
- Draw the chajja of size 700 X 70 mm.

- Draw the window of size 1265 x 1111 mm
- Draw the various aesthetical appearances as per the drawing given.

- Draw the window of size 2924 x 1024 mm
- Draw the various aesthetical appearances as per the drawing given.

- Now let us draw the first floor.
- Take the dimension of the balcony as 1239 X 812 mm.
- Draw the asteel railings of height 769 X 42mm.

- Do the same for first second and third floor.
- Draw the ventilators of dimension, 393 X 196mm.

- Now the draw the tank of 1200mm X 2627mm.
- Provide the two openings of the overhead tank.
- Draw the parapet wall of 1000mm height.

SO we have the folowing drawing,
