INTRODUCTION:

A layout template is a layout imported from a DWG file. The program has simple layout templates to use when we design a new layout environment.

When you create a layout based on a template, the page setup and paper space objects, including any viewport objects, are used in the new layout. No model space objects are imported.

The layout templates are identified with a .dwt file extension. However, a layout template or layout from any drawing or drawing template can be imported into the current drawing.

AIM:

To create the layout of the section created in challenge 9 using appropriate scaling and multiple viewports.

INTRODUCTION:

A section view provides architects and contractors another way of understanding how construction will stand up, as it reveals details of the construction of walls and the thickness and height of beams and other supports. while a floor plan allows for a view of how the walls stand about each other, a section shows where the wall meets the floor and the distance that separates one floor from another.

Finally, section provide a better understanding of how a buiding's spaces will accomodate its future occupants and whether, for example, the ceiling will fill like it looms or soars overhead.
