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

Aim:

To Design and Draft a layout of a residential building using autocad command and tools as per drawing requires.

Introduction:

Design and Draft a layout of a residential building with the following details:

a. Plot Size: 60’x20’(18.3m x6m) 

b. Orientation- Facing East 

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

PROCEDURE

• Open AutoCAD and set Units to meters and set Limits
• Draw a rectangular of size 14.3*4
• Draw another rectangle of 18.3*6 over the 1st rectangle
• Draw L shape on the right side to show the road facing having 3m distance from the plot 
• Dimensions should be noted and Insert text using the text command 
• Enter line command and use 0,0 as the first point
• Enter (@14.3,0) (@0,4) (@-14.3,0) (@0,-4) and close
• Using offset command draw wall thickness of 0.23m
• now offset 0.38 in the inner left side and 0.15m
• select 0.38m and offset line behind 
• Select 4 as offset distance and offset 0.15 line behind 
• Select 6 as offset distance and offset 0.15 line behind
• Select 4 as offset distance and offset 0.15 line behind
• Select 2 as offset distance and offset 0.15 line behind
• Select 2 as offset distance and offset 0.15 line behind
• TRim and delete unwanted lines 
• Trim for door distance of the required size
• 

ELEVATION

• Enter XL line and  extend wall, window, and doors from the ground
• Draw a baseline 
• Measure slab distance as 0.5 and height of building 3mDraw doors and windows and Trim unwanted lines

STRUCTURAL LAYOUT

COLUMN LAYOUT

• Copy the plan to delete the unwanted design
• Using the Array command create column of (0.23,0.23)
• Mark the layers in red color
• Enter line type as hidden line 
• Enter text and dimensions using the required dimension

BEAM LAYOUT

• Copy the column layout 
• Join the outer lines 
• Show beam design
• Trim unwanted lines
• Change line type
• Insert text and Dimensions using respective command.

FOOTING LAYOUT

• Copy column layout 
• Draw a rectangle of size (1.2,1.2)
• Draw another rectangle of size (3,3)
• Now copy and paste the footing of required areas
• Trim unwanted lines
• Change line type 
• Insert text and Dimensions using respective command

Result:

The Design and Draft a layout of a residential building is obtained
