COMMANDS USED

  • Unit command
  • Limit command
  • Line command
  • Offset command
  • Trim command
  • Layer command
  • Hatch command
  • Rectangle command
  • Dimlinear command
  • Mtext command
  • Dtext command
  • Dimstyle command
  • Move command
  • Copy command
  • Divide command
  • Object snap command
  • Extend command
  • Fillet command

PROCEDURE

STEP 1

  • Open a new file
  • In the command line type units , select the units and also set the precision
  • In the command line type 'LIMITS' and specify the limits at lower left corner and upper right corner as
  • Then zoom all

STEP 2

  • First to draw the ground floor plan
  • Using line offset and trim and extend command draw two bedrooms of size 8'*14'and toilets of size 4'*6'
  • then drawing staircase room of 6'-6"*8'
  • and study room of 4'*6"
  • from stairroom offset17'-8.04"
  • offset from side 7'
  • by this way plan is made with wall thickness outside as 9" and inside 4.5"

  • then doors and window openings are made according to the standard size
  • using mtext command texts are written
  • using dimlinear dimensions are marked

  • Providing the layer property to the plan
  • and cutting the section line

  • Copying the ground floor plan and making the necessary changes , this way we are creating the second floor plan

STEP 3

  • Next drawing elevation by projecting lines from the plan
  • offset offset for plinth by 2'
  • then providing the wall height as 10'
  • drawing the chajjas
  • drawing doors and windows that we can through the front view
  • same way drawing first floor also
  • prapret wall is provide at the height of 2'-6"
  • using hatch command hatch is provide for the plinth

STEP 4

  • next drawing the section by projecting the lines from plan for section lines
  • project lines from the elevation for the height
  • trim off the unwanted lines
  • using hatch command hatch the walls with the bricks and foundation with the concrete hatch
  • place the windows inrespective position

STEP 5

  • Drawing column layout
  • draw column in the plan where ever required

  • using the trim command trim everthing except the outerline and the colums
  • create a layer for grid lines
  • load the layer ,make it as current layer
  • using line command draw the grid line from center to center
  • then offset the outerline by5' and delete the outer line
  • then extend the grid line to the offseted line
  • delete the offseted line
  • same way first floor columns layout is drawn

STEP 5

  • drawing beam layout
  • change the current layer to beam
  • beams are drawn with the dimension 9"12"

STEP 6

  • copy the column layout
  • change the current layer to footing
  • dimension of the all footings drawn are 3'-4"*3'-4"
  • using dimlinear mark the distance blw the footings

RESULT

Using vastushastra , with the given plot size 60'*20' drawn a east facing residential building with G+1 floor
