Procedure:
Step 1:
Go to the Application Menu and select New
In the startup dialog box set Feet Inchesas the default settings
Type UNand set the units as Architecturaland precision as 0.0
Set the units as Inchesin the insertion scale
Type Limitsin the command box and set the lower limit as 0,0and upper limit as 80',80'
Type Z enter for Zoom and A for Zoom all
Step 2:
Select LayerPropertiesby typing Layer in the command box
Click on a new layer to create the following layers (i.e., Doors and windows, External Wall, Internal Wall, Stairs, Furniture, Slab, Dimensions, and Text)
Specify different colors for different layers to identify each layer easily and then close the layer properties manager
Step 3:
Select the Exterior wall as the default layer in the layer panel
Select the XLinetool by typing XL or XLine in the command box
Draw two lines ( i.e., horizontally and vertically ) both intersecting at a 90-degree point, and then press Esc to cancel the XLine
Select the Trimtool and trim the unnecessary lines and press enter
Select the Offsetcommand and give the offset distance as 9"
Select both the vertical and horizontal lines and Offset them inside
Similarly using the Offsetcommand create the sketch that is shown in the figure below
Step 4:
After Creating External walls, now we have to create internal walls using the Offset command
By using the Offsetcommand create the internal walls with a thickness of 9"
Specify the offset distance, select the line to offset, and click on the direction that we need to offset
Press Escto cancel the line command
The new lines that we have drawn are selected and assigned to the internal wall layer
By using the Trimcommand and ExtendCommand, trim the unwanted lines and extend the lines that need to extend respectively
Step 5:
Now we have to draw a staircase using staircase layer property
Select the Linetool and draw a length of 9'10"at the entry point of the building
Select the Offsetcommand and give the offset distance as 4', then offset it through the desired side
Draw a line through the midpoint of the lines created previously to divide the stairs and press Escto cancel the line command
Select the Offsettool and give the offset distance as 1'and offset it through the desired side
By using the Linecommand, draw a line through the midpoint of the lines that we created earlier to divide the stairs
By using the Trimcommand, trim the unnecessary lines
Step 6:
After creating External and Internal walls, Now we have to draw doors and windows using the doors and windows layer
Select the Linetool by typing L or Line in the command box
Draw doors at the specified positions by using the Line tool and draw a swing of that door by using the Arc tool
Door D1is created at the entrance with a width of 3'
Door D2is created at the entrance with a width of 3'
Now we have to draw windows by using a door and window layer
Draw windows by using the Line command
Window W1is created with a width of4'
Window W2is created with a width of 3'
Ventilator V1is created with a width of 3'
By using CopyCommand, Copy Windows and move to the required position
Step 7:
After creating external and internal walls, now we have to give column marking
Select the column layer in the layer properties
Select the Linetool by typing L or Line in the command box
Draw a column of dimension 9"×9"and press Escto cancel the Line Command
Select the Copytool and copy the column created before to the desired locations as shown in the figure below
Select the Hatchtool by typing H or Hatch in the command box
Select Hatch type as pattern, give hatch type as AR-Concrete,and pick points inside the column
Select the Trimtool and trim the unnecessary lines
Step 8:
Select the Furniture layer as the default layer in the layer panel
By using Tool Palletesand other DWG Drawings, Place the Furniture and Car in the desired locations as shown in the figure below
Select the dimension and text layer as the default layer in the layer panel
Enter DS in the command box to open the dimension style manager dialog
Modifythe dimensions as per the requirement
Change the color of the dimension and extension line as per the requirement
Under the text option, Change the text height to 8"
click ok, then click set current and close the dimension style manager dialog box
Give dimensions and text as per the drawing and requirement using the Mtextcommand and DimensionCommand
Step 9:
Select the Copytool by typing COin the command box
Select the Ground Floor plan and copy it to the another location
Delete the Parking area at the main entrance
Edit the dimensions whenever required and edit the text boxes by using EDCommand
