Procedure:
Step 1
Type unit or UN in the command line and press enter
Set type of unit as Engineering and precision as 0’0”
In insertion scale set unit as millimeter.
Set upper limit and lower limit of the drawing
Step 2
Type layer or LA in the command line and press enter
Create new layers as per requirement
Layers are created as follows
Step 3: Creating Site plan
First, draw the plot area of size 60’x20’ with building area using the rectangle and line command with respect to the orientation of site.
Hatch the built-up area and use dimension tool to measure the dimensions and assign the respective layers to the drawing
Step 4: Creating Ground floor plan
Draw a rectangle of dimensions 60’x20’
Provide front side offset of 14’ and all other side offset of 1.5’
And draw the exterior and interior walls for the respective rooms
Draw staircase with the room size of 10.5’ x 6’, the tread is 10” riser is 6.6” in ground floor
Trim the extra lines
Place columns of 9”x18” for the respective positions
Provide the doors and windows for the respective dimensions and trim the extra lines
Hatch the necessary area, draw chejja, compound wall
Indicate the rooms using the single text command.
Provide dimensions for the given floor plan using the dimlinear command.
And also draw the section lines as given in the figure, and also indicate the doors and windows.
Using hatch command, dimension command and text command complete the floor plan
Step 5: Creating First floor plan
Draw a rectangle of dimensions 60’x20’
Provide front side offset of 14’ and all other side offset of 1.5’
And draw the exterior and interior walls for the respective rooms
Draw staircase with the room size of 10.5’ x 6’, the tread is 10” riser is 6.6” in first floor
Place columns of 9”x18” for the respective positions
Trim the extra lines
Provide the doors and windows for the respective dimensions and trim the extra lines
Hatch the necessary area, draw chejja, compound wall and assign the respective layers to the drawing.
Indicate the rooms using the single text command.
Provide dimensions for the given floor plan using the dimlinear command.
And also draw the section lines as given in the figure, and also indicate the doors and windows.
Using hatch command, dimension command and text command complete the floor plan
Step 6: Creating Section A-A
Draw the construction line from Section AA line in the plan to draw the section AA. Use copy tool to replicate construction line
The inner wall thickness is 4.5” and outer wall thickness is 9”
Next, draw the construction line from first floor section and draw the windows in them requires to places in both the floors
Using the line command, offset command and trim command draw the section AA
Draw staircase with the room size of 10.5’ x 6’, the tread is 10” riser is 6.6” in first floor
Trim the extra lines
Indicate the necessary details using the single text and leader command.
Provide dimensions for the given floor plan using the dimlinear command.
Draw and indicate the doors and windows assign the respective layers to the drawing.
Using hatch command, dimension command and text command complete the Section AA
Step 7: Creating Section B-B
Draw the construction line from Section BB line in the plan to draw the section BB. Use copy tool to replicate construction line
The inner wall thickness is 4.5” and outer wall thickness is 9”
Next, draw the construction line from first floor section and draw the windows in them requires to places in both the floors
Using the line command, offset command and trim command draw the section BB
Trim the extra lines
Indicate the necessary details using the single text and leader command.
Provide dimensions for the given floor plan using the dimlinear command.
Draw and indicate the doors and windows assign the respective layers to the drawing.
Using hatch command, dimension command and text command complete the Section BB
Step 8: Creating Front/Side Elevation
Project the construction line and draw elevation view with respect to front and side of plan using draw tools.
Provided windows as per the plan, chajja as per plan and door as per plan.
Provided lintel beam over the windows, doors.
Provided Parapet wall.
Using Hatch command, and adjusted the scale for better visibility.
Using Hatch command, I have filled parapet wall with SOLID and adjusted the scale for better visibility.
Step 9: Creating Column/Footing layout
Turn off all the layers except the column layer and boundary layer in the layer properties.
Select the copy tool by typing CO or COPY in the command box.
Select all the columns from the building plan and copy them to a different location as shown in the figure below.
Select the Construction line tool by typing XL or XLine in the command box.
Select the line type and give scale as per requirement.
Draw lines through the midpoint of the columns in the horizontal and vertical directions as shown in the figure below.
Select the Trim tool by typing TR or Trim in the command box.
Trim the unnecessary lines and press Esc to cancel the trim command.
Next, draw the footing with the required dimensions.
In this case the column size as 9" x 18".
Next we do the offset of 1'-6" horizontally and vertically from the columns to form the footings.
Then draw the footing layout with required dimensions.
Select the Dimension tool by typing DIM in the command box.
Select the first point and the second point of the object to measure. Repeat for all the objects to be measured.
Enter DS in the command box to open the dimension style manager dialog.
Modify the dimensions as per the requirement.
Change the color of the dimension and extension line as per the requirement.
Give dimensions and text as per the drawing and requirement using the Mtext command and Dimension Command.
Step 10: Creating Beam layout
Turn off all the layers except the column layer and boundary layer in the layer properties.
Select the copy tool by typing CO or COPY in the command box.
Select all the columns from the building plan and copy them to a different location as shown in the figure below.
Involve polyline tool by typing PL in command line
Draw the lines to connect the beams to columns in both the floors
Select the Construction line tool by typing XL or XLine in the command box.
Select the line type and give scale as per requirement.
Draw lines through the midpoint of the beams in the horizontal and vertical directions as shown in the figure below.
Select the Trim tool by typing TR or Trim in the command box.
Trim the unnecessary lines and press Esc to cancel the trim command.
Select the Dimension tool by typing DIM in the command box.
Select the first point and the second point of the object to measure. Repeat for all the objects to be measured.
Enter DS in the command box to open the dimension style manager dialog.
Modify the dimensions as per the requirement.
Change the color of the dimension and extension line as per the requirement.
Give dimensions and text as per the drawing and requirement using the Mtext command and Dimension Command.
