  • Select a LINE tool or type a L andd press ENTER
  • and draw a window from 3' height aas sill level to the 7' height as lentel level
  • and draw a door from a ground surface to the 7' height as a lentel level height is 7'
  • Now draw a sunshade with the help of lines
  • and top stair room of heigh 10'

STEP 6-

  • CREATING A CENTER LINE PLAN
  • Select a center line layer from the layer properties and turn off all the layer expect wall and column
  • Let's first create the center line plan at ground level
  • Select a LINE tool from the Ribbion or type L and press ENTER
  • Now draw the line in between thw wall and extend it to some distance

  • Now create the center line plan for first floor
  • Select a LINE tool from the Ribbion or type L and press ENTER
  • Now draw the line in between thw wall and extend it to some distance

STEP 7

  • CREATING A BEAM PLAN
  • FOR GROUND FLOOR
  • Select a Line tool from the ribbion or type L and press ENTER
  • Now join all the column and create a line all all the wall to create a beam

  • FOR FIRST FLOOR
  • Select a Line tool from the ribbion or type L and press ENTER
  • Now join all the column and create a line all all the wall to create a beam

STEP 8

  • COLUMN AND GRIDS
  • Select a dimension layer from th layer properties and turn of wall the layer expect center line and column
  • Now type DIMLIN for linera dimension
  • specify the first point and second point and place the dimension
  • Now type c for continue dimension and select the laster dimension and mark all the grid distance

STEP 9

  • CREATING OF FOOTING LAYOUT
  • SELELCT A FOOTING LAYER from the layer propertis
  • we have to create a footing of 7' x 5'9"
  • So Select a OFFSET tool from the ribbion
  • and specify the offset distance as 2'6" and select the column and give it outside of column
