Commands Used:

xl

offset

trim

Extension

ADC (design centre )

line

rectangle

lt (linetype)

arc

THE PLINTH DIMENSIONS ARE CHOSEN AS 30' X 18'.

Procedure:-

Step 1:

In the command prompt type Units >meters

In the command prompt type limmax >100,100

In the command prompt type limits >0,0

In the command prompt type zoom >a

step 2:

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 promt type trim to remove the extra lines .

The main enterance of my plan is in the east direction .

In the ribbon bar > layers >walls , grids , furnitures ,doors.

The architectural plan is completed.

In the ribbon bar type Annotate to text the dimensions.

In the command prompt type table to give the door and window schedule.

Step 3:

Structural drawings:

In the command prompt type xl 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 dimensions 18" x18" for columns .

In the command prompt type rec of dimensions 30"x30" for footings.
