Project 1 _Creating an Architectural plan for the provided plot size and develop relevant basic structural drawings

To Create an Architectural plan for the provided plot size and develop relevant basic structural drawings

Introduction and Prerequisite :

Open autocad application
Type Qnew and open new drawing
Set units according to drawing
Switch on object snap and object snap modes : Endpoint, Midpoint, Center, Nearest, Intersection, Perpendicular and Node
Ortho mode is ON
Using autocad G+1 east facing residential building is created

Procedure :

Set units to decimal, precision zero and units to scale as "m"
Procedure for dimensions setting : Enter command dimstyle
Click on new and create a new style "STYLE 1"
1. Now go to Lines section and set the following:
Color, linetype and lineweight remians "ByBlock"
Extend beyong dimlines as 0.18
Offset from origin as 0.0625
2. Next go to symbols and arrow section and set the following:
Arrow size 0.18
3. Next go to Text and set the following:
Text style : Standard : Font style - Arial, Font name regular
Text color : Byblock
Text height : 0.18
Text placement both vertical and horizontal as centered, View direction as left to right
Offset from dimline : 1
Text aligment : Horizontal
4. Next go to Fit and set the following:
Use overall scale of 1
5. Next go to Primary units and set the following:
Unit format : Decimal
Precision : 0.00
Press okay and click on set current
Press close
Text font is arial and text height is taken as 0.2
In this plan internal wall thickness is taken as 0.1m and external wall thickness is taken as 0.3m

Column plan

Column size is taken as C1= 0.3 x 0.3 , C2= 0.6 x 0.3
Placed at different areas as shown below and hatched using hatch pattern (SOLID) and hatch scale 1
Central lines are drawn using centerline tool
Linetype of centerline given as DASHED

Footing plan

These are drawn by projecting column plan

Dimesions taken for the excation of footing is given below

Beam sections

These plans are drawn by projecting floor plans and columns plans and beam dimensions taken are given below :

Different layers are created such as windows, doors, ventilators, staircase, dimensions, text, centerline, outdoor and assigned accordingly
