b. Orientation- Facing East

c. Develop the following: 1. Architectural Drawing (Floor Plan, Elevations, and Sections) 2. Structural Drawing (Column, Bean, Footing Plan)

Aim: - To Design and Draft a layout of a residential building with plot size 60’x20’ (18.3m x6m).

Introduction: -

  • Plan and Sections are different types of drawings used by architects to graphically represent a building design and construction.
  • A plan drawing is a drawing on a horizontal plane showing a view from above.
  • An Elevation drawing is drawn on a vertical plane showing a vertical depiction.
  • A section drawing is also a vertical depiction but one that cuts through space showing what lies within.

Commands used: -

  • Limits command
  • Line command
  • Offset command
  • Hatch command
  • Dimlinear command
  • Dimstyle command
  • Units command
  • Extend command
  • Fillet command
  • Trim command
  • Join command
  • Line weight command
  • Line type command
  • Object snap command

PROCEDURE:

STEP1: -

  • In the command prompt type Units
  • In the command prompt type limmax >250',250'
  • In the command prompt type zoom >a
  • In the command prompt type xl to draft the infinite lines.
  • In the command prompt type offset, to offset it to the desired lines.
  • In the command prompt type trim to remove the extra lines
  • In the command prompt type ADC(design center) to add the components
  • In the command prompt type arc (to draw the doors)
  • In the command prompt type lines (to draw the windows)
  • The architectural plan is completed
  • After that, use dim linear to give the dimensions.
  • In the command prompt type mtext type the specified rooms.

RESULT: -


Step 2:(structural drawings)

  • In the command prompt type line to draw the grid lines
  • In the command prompt type LT (to get the dotted lines ) to get the dotted lines
  • In the command prompt type rec of for columns
  • In the command prompt type rec of for footings
  • In the command prompt type line to draw the beam layout\

RESULT:-

Step 3: (to give section views)

  • using dotted lines, sections are created.
  • In the command prompt type hatch, Use hatch.

RESULT:-

Step 4( to create elevation)

  • In the command prompt type L to draft the lines
  • In the command prompt type Hatch > solid to give the desired annotations, color to the elevation.
