AIM : To draw
- Architectural drawing of floor plan,Elevation,and sections
- 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

Step 1 :
Ground floor plan
First we have to draw the plot area and building area using the line command and dimliner command as shown in the below fig.

- Next we have to draw the line horizontally forword with the length of 20'
- Again we draw the line upwords from the previous line with the length of 50'
- From the top of the previous line again we draw the line backwords with the length of 18'-4''
- Next from previous line we draw the line downwords with the length of 39'-9''
- Now from the left side corener of the 1st line we draw the another line from the edge with the length of10'-1''
- Next join the two edges with the small horizontal line to join them, as shown in below fig.

- 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 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 3
Section - AA
- First of all we have to draw a line with the length of 20' horizontally
- Next we have to draw a line from previous line with the length of 23'-0'' vertically upwords
- From the previous line we have to draw the line backwards with the length of 20' horizontally

- Now write the elevation name bottomside of the drawing using the single text command
- Next we use the hatch command to hatch the different parts in the building with different colours
- Next use single text command to indicate the ground level of the building as show in the below fig.

Step 6
Side Elevation
- First we have to draw the line with the length of 50'-0'' using the line command
- Then offset that line with the length of 150mm offset

- Next draw the floors using the line command and offset command
- Next draw the doors and windows with the help of line command and trim command
- The thickness of slabs are 200mm for both the floor slabs
- Draw the water tank on the top at left side of the building
- We draw the staircase in side elevation as we designed a building

2.Structural drawing of coloumn Beam and Footing Plan
Step 1
Coloumn Layout
- First we have to draw the grid lines as shown in the below fig
- Next indicate the vertical lines with the alphabates
- Next indicate the horizontal lines with the numbers, as shown in the below fig.

- Now draw the coloums where ever they are required
- Next use the single text command to indicate the coloums with C1,C2,C3,C4,C5,C6,C7,C8,C9,C10,C11,C12,C13,C14
- Next use singlke text command write the text as coloumn layout at the bottom of the fig as show in the above 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
