Creating Kitchen layout, Hatching of Architectural elements and sectional view of an Industrial Building in AutoCad
Aim of the project: To create layout of the drawings created a few weeks in the challenges.
Procedure:
Step 1: The layout as per mentioned is selected i.e., Tutorial.mArch.dwt from the templates existing
Step 2: The view ports are created as per the sizes mentioned and the drawing is adjusted in the view port to view the specific drawing.
Step 3: Another view port of the mentioned size is created and the section of the building is set in that viewport as shown in Figure 1
Create a layout of the Kitchen drawn in Challenge 9 as shown in Figure. Use the scale as shown in the Figure. Use A4 Size page for the layout. Take a plot.
Aim: To create the Kitchen layout with four view parts along as shown in the figure
Introduction:

Step 4: Creating Viewports
Type ‘mv’ and press enter
- Specify corner of viewport or
- Specify corner of viewport or ON / OFF / Fit / Shadeplot / Lock / New / Named / Object / Polygonal / Restore / Layer / 2 / 3 / 4] : Click on 4 and press enter
- Specify the corner points of view port
Step 5: Creating Viewport views
Go to model space in layout
- Click inside of bottom left viewport
- Type v and press enter
- Click on ‘Above contour plan’ and click on set current
- Change the scale to 1:2
- Click inside of bottom bottom viewport
- Type v and press enter
- Click on ‘Below contour plan’ and click on set current
- Change the scale to 1:2
Create other 2 views as shown in figure with custom scale 1:1
Step 6: Assigning Viewport Layers
Viewport layer colors are changed for better visibility of drawing as follows for all the view ports
Step 7: Plotting
Type plot and press enter or select plot from the menu bar
- Set name as Kitchen_Layout
- Change printer to AutoCAD PDF
- Set paper size as ISO full bleed A4.
- Change plot area to ‘Layout’
- Change plot style table to ‘monochrome.ctb’
- Check the preview for adjustments
- Click ok to plot
- Select the path and set name
Result:
The result of this question consists of four viewports of kitchen layout plans from challenge 9. Viewports are created on A4 size sheet created from the page setup manager. The four-view port is created using MV command. Views are created in the model tab first and then viewed in layout viewport. Layers of viewport are changed for better visibility. Plotting is done with respect to A4 sheet size.
- All the dimensions mentioned are in meters
- Dimensions and text are assigned using dimension layer and text layers
- Create a layout of the section created in Challenges 9.
Use scale as mentioned in the Figure. Use MV command create multiple viewports. Take a plot.
Aim: To create the three-viewport layout of an industrial building as shown in the figure

Result:
The result of this question consists of three viewports of Industrial Building layout plans from challenge 9. Viewports are created on A4 size sheet created from the page setup manager. The Three-view port is created using MV command. Views are created in the model tab first and then viewed in layout viewport. Layers of viewport are changed for better visibility. First view is the view of entire section view. Second viewport is of the manhole. Third view is of the duct and sprinklers. Plotting is done with respect to A4 sheet size and monochrome.ctb.
- All the dimensions mentioned are in meters
- Dimensions and text are assigned using dimension layer and text layers
