PROCEDURE

  • open autocad file in windows desktop.
  • a dialog box will open it shows startup from scratch.
  • click the radio button imperial to start the project.
  • in command box type gridmode to show the gridmode by typing 1 in the command box
  • type F8 to get ortho on.
  • type limmax to set the maximum layout.
  • type llmits to set the layout.
  • TYPE UN FOR UNITS and set to engineering.

STEP 1

Adding of layers

type LA-layers tab will open.

STEP 2

Type L line draw the plan for 60 x 20 feet

draw the outer wall and inner wall.

type O- offset to outer wall and inner wall

type DT- text inside the plan.

type T- multiline text

type D-dimension style to dimension the plan.

type T- multiline text to specify the rooms.

type B- block to draw the door and windows.

type ADC- design center to set the furniture to aligh as per the rooms.

draw the window and door and to complete the plan.

Step 2

ELEVATION

TYPE xl- xline in the vertical direction to align in the plan.

type H-hatch the plan in the properties.

type LA -layers align as per the layer properties.

type t- multiline text to align as per the text.

STEP 3

SECTION

TYPE xl- xline in command to align as per the plan.

according to wall,interior wall plumbing as per plan.

type h-hatch the properties as per the section

adding of layers in window, door, foundation and in dimension,text

type ADC-design center to align as per the plan.

STEP 4

(ARCHITECTURAL PLAN)

STEP 5

COLUMN POSITION

using of grid lines to mark the center line as per the column as per plan.

marking of column as per design.

placing of column as plan.

after the gridlines are aligned the column are placed as per the plan.

type dimlinear- to dimension the plan corrcetly placed and to easily findout.

STEP 6

FOOTING PLAN

use the gridlines to mark the center of the column.

as per the column design the footing center lines are marked.

footing size in first step 4'x4'.

footing size in second step 2'x2'

mark the foundation and name it through gridlines.

type dimlinear- to dimension the footing of column and placing through gridlines.

STEP 7

BEAM PLAN

use the gridlines to easily align the beam as per plan.

type l-line to connect the beam each by each to column.

type t- text the beam as various sizes.

type dimlinear- dimension the beam as per plan.

after beam postioning align as per plan mark the beam for various sizes.


STRUCTUTAL PLAN

RESULT

The follwing plan,elevation and section(architectural drawing)and structural drawing is completed.
