• Use the offset command to project the given elevations. LArge the stair first to avoid confusion. Then sketch the column according to first projected line
• Add the dimension for reference

• Project the Ground slab then sktech the columns. Trim the excess lines and create the boundaries
• Complete the sidewall sketch and add beams where required
• Slab thickness is 115mm. Sketch the at all elevations

• Continue one by one per elevation.Proceed the rooftop sketch and draw the tank as shown.Adjust the tank dimension and add the top opening.Proceed with the stairs. Consider teh given rise. Change lines to hidden line for those on the other side

• Add the side windows when adding the canopy.

• Add the dimensions. Use dimlinear to provide the dimesnsion

• Add the necessary texts in the sketch using dtext command
• Add leaders for necessary texts using the leader command or use the Mleader command to add leadres with text

(SECTION A-A)

--------->Proceed with the layout . Go to the layout view and create the views using MVIEW command

• Double click inside the view to move align the object inside

• Then take a plot

• You can change printer to DWG to PDF to ceate PDF file

B. Create a layout of the kitchen drawn in challenge 9 as shown in figure. Use the scale as shown in the figure. Use size page for the layout take a plot

PROCEDURE:

• 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
