3. Next give setback from the plot, 4.3m and 3m for the sides. The proposed building should come inside the setback drawn.

4. Drawing wall offset 0.25 m from the boundary after the setback is taken for the wall thickness.

5. As the orientation is given as East, the main door should face East. For the living room, give 3m offset horizontally from the West side, and the size of the room will be 3 x 4 m.

10. The size of the bedroom is 4x 4m.Create an opening of 0.80 m by offset and trim commands.
For the toilet, draw an offset horizontal of 1.5 m from the Dining wall and the size of the toilet is 1.5 x2m.

11. Drawing of Puja room From the Toilet offset 1.5m and from master bedroom offset 1m and Size of the puja room is 1.5m x1.0m as per North-East should be good for puja room according to Vaastu Shastra

14. Place the doors and windows in their respective places.

15. Elevation part of the Projecting lines to draw the elevation.Project the wall lines to the top.

16. Draw a horizontal line. Offset 1 m for the plinth level. Offset 2.1m for the Lintel level.Offset 3.5m for the floor level.Offset 0.6m for the parapet wall.

17. Trim off the extension lines and make shutters and panels for doors and windows. For architectural purposes, create some hatches.

18. Project the lines from the elevation for the height and the section line of the plan for the horizontal members. Drawing windows, doors and stairs in sections.

19. Using hatch the walls with the bricks hatch and foundation with the concrete hatch.

20. Project the lines from the elevation for the height and the section line of the plan for the horizontal members.

21. Drawing windows, doors and stairs in sections. Draw the window and door which we see after cutting the section line.

22. Using hatch the walls with the bricks hatch and foundation with the concrete hatch.
Place the windows and foundations in the respective layers and give colours.

Structural drawings:

1. Column layout: A column of size 0.25m x0.25m is considered. Columns are placed in all corners of the wall and intersection of walls wherever required

2. Now draw the centre line for the column from the annotate tab -centre line and mark the grid line as 1,2 in the y direction and A, B, C, D, E, F in the x direction.

3. Footing Layout: Isolated footing of size 0.5m x0.5m is provided. Create a rectangle with dimension 0.5x0.5 m, and place the centre of the rectangle with the centre of the column.

4. Drawing of plinth beam connect the columns by a beam of width 0.25m, as the wall thickness is 0.25. A plinth beam is provided below all the walls.

5. Create a layer for the beam and put the plinth beam in that layer.
