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

AIM:-

To create an own Architectural drawing consisting of Floor plan, Elevations and Sections for the plot size 60'x20' and also create the structural drawings for Column, Footing and Beam.

Plot Size - 60' x 20'

Orientation - East Facing

COMMANDS USED:-

  • Layers
  • Line
  • Polyline
  • XLine
  • Dtext
  • MultiLeader
  • Dimlinear
  • Dimcontinue
  • Hatch
  • Copy
  • Fillet
  • Trim
  • Erase
  • Offset

PROCEDURE:-

  • Open AutoCAD software
  • Start from scratch
  • Set the units to engineering and select ok
  • Set limits as lower left corner (0,0) and upper right corner (500',500')
  • Go to layer properties < create new layers < name the layers for reference < close.

Architectural drawings:-

  • Plan
  • Elevation
  • Section

Structural drawings:

  • Column Layout
  • Footing Layout
  • Beam Layout

  • Using the commands line and Dtext, i have created the directions.
  • Then, Using the BLOCK command, i made it to a single block and named it as directions.

I. ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS:-

1. PLAN:-

  • Using the line Command, i drew the plot boundary of 60'x20'.
  • The building's main entrance is facing the East direction.
  • Using the commands line, offset, fillet and trim.

  • After providing the offset distance, the floor dimensions comes about 45'x18' including walls,
  • Outer walls at 9" thickness and inner walls at 4.5" thickness is provided,
  • Now, using the commands Line, polyline, offset, fillet and trim, I have created my own plan for the project,
  • It is planned as per VASTHU.

Ground floor:-

  • Hall 9'6"×16'5"
  • Mas. Bed room 7'×12'9"
  • Chi.bed room 6'8"×10'5"
  • Kitchen 5'9"×12'9"
  • Toilet 3'×12'9"
  • Working area 7'×5'"

First floor:-

  • Hall 9'6"×16'5"
  • Mas. Bed room 7'×12'9"
  • Chi.bed room 6'8"×10'5"
  • Kitchen 5'9"×12'9"
  • Toilet 3'×12'9"
  • Store room7'×5
  • Balcony 6'2"×12'9"

Staircase:-

  • Thred- 1'
  • Rise -9"

Doors:-

  • D1- 5'×7'
  • D2- 3'×7'
  • D3- 2'10"×6'6"

Windows /Ventilator:-

  • W1- 4'×5'
  • W2- 3'×4'
  • V- 1'6"×1'6"

2. SECTION:

  • Using the commands Line, polyline, offset, fillet and trim, I have created the sectional view for the Section
  • Provided windows as per the plan, kitchen space as per plan and stairs as per plan.
  • Provided lintel beam over the windows, doors.
  • Provided Parapet wall and over head as well
  • Using Hatch command, I have filled PLINTH BEAM with BRICK

3. ELEVATION:-

  • Using the commands Line, polyline, offset, fillet, trim and hatch, I have created the sectional view for the Elevation.
  • Provided windows as per the plan, and door as per plan.
  • Provided lintel beam over the windows
  • Provided Parapet wall
  • Using Hatch command, I have filled super structure below parapet wall with BRICK and adjusted the scale for better visibility.

II. STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS:-

1. Column 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.

2. 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
  • Turn off all the layers except the column layer and boundary layer in the layer properties.
  • Typing the tool by 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

3. 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

Column Schedule:-

Beam Schedule:-

Footing Size:-

Footing size is 4'x4'.

RESULTS:-

Both Architectural and Structural drawings are shown below again.
