AIM : To draw

  1. Architectural drawing of floor plan,Elevation,and sections
  2. Stractural drawing of column, Beam,and Flooting plan

Introduction :

  • Architectural and structural drawings are generally considered to be the drawing of steel,wood,concrete,and other materials used to construct buildings,ships,plans,bridges,towers,tanks, etc..,
  • Structural drawing are generally prepared by registered professional engineers,and based on information provided by architectural drawing
  • The structural drawing are generally prepared by registered professional engineers,and based on information provided by architectural drawing
  • The structural drawing are primarily concerned with the load-carryig members of a structure.
  • Outline the size and types of materials to be used,as well as the general demands for connections
  • Architectural drawings are used by architects and others for a number of purposes to develop a design idea into a coherent proposal to communicate ideas and concepts.
  • To convince clients of merits of design to assist building contractor to construct it based on design intent.
  • As a record of the design and planned development or to make a record of a building that already exists.

Commands Used :

  • Limits command
  • Line command
  • Offset command
  • Hatch command
  • Dimliner command
  • Dimstyle command
  • Units command
  • Extend command
  • Fillet command
  • Trim command
  • join command
  • Circle command
  • Line weight command
  • Line type command
  • Object snap command

PROCEDURE :

  • Finally we indicate the total drawing using the single text command as ground floor plan as show in the fig.

Step 2 :

First floor plan

  • Next we have to draw the line horizontally forword with the length of 20'
  • Top of previous line again we draw the line backwards with the line of 18'-4''
  • Next from previous line we draw the line downwords with the length of 39'-9''
  • Now from the left side corner of the 1st line we draw the another line to join them as shown in below fig.

  • Now we draw the master bedroom with the sizes of 10'-6'' X 9'-5''
  • Next we draw the attached toilet with the size of 5'-5'' X 4'-0''
  • Next we draw the guest bedroom with the sizes of 10'-6'' X 9'-5''

  • Next we draw the toilet doors with size of 700 X 2100
  • Next we draw all windows with the size of 900 X 1200mm
  • Then after we use the dimlinear command to put the dimensions to the rooms
  • Next we draw the furniture thing where they are required
  • Now we select the single text command to indicates the rooms
  • Next we draw the direction symbol using the circle command,line command,and text command as shown in the fig.
  • Finally we indicate the total drawing using the single text command as first floor plan as show in the fig.

Step 2

Beam Layout

  • First we have to draw the grid lines as show in the below fig
  • Next indicate the vertical lines as show in the fig
  • Next indicate the horizontal lines with numbers
  • Next draw the coloumn where ever they are required
  • Next we have to draw beams using line commands with reference to the coloums
  • Next put the dimensions where ever they required using dimlinear command
  • Take beam size as 10'' X 10''

Stpe 3

Footing Layout

  • First we have to draw the grid lines as shown in below fig
  • Next inducate the vertical lines with the alphabates
  • Next indicate the horizontal lines with the numbers, as shown in below fig.
  • Next we have to draw the colomn and footing with the reequired dimensions
  • We take the colomn size as 10'' X 10''
  • Next we do the offset of 2'=6'' horizontally and vertically from the coloums to from the footings
  • Then we draw the footing layout with required dimensions
  • Finally we put the dimensions in every part of the drawing using the dimlinear command
  • Next use the single text command and write the text as Footing Layout on bottom side of the fig.

RESULT : The Architectural Drawing (Floor Paln,Elevations, and Sections) and structural drawings (Coloumn,Beam,and Footing Plan) are drawn sucessfully in the AutoCAD in detail Manner
