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

SShivam Patel2 Dec 2022

Aim: To draft the floor plan of the house in a 60’x20’ East facing and draft its Elevation, Section and layout of Column, Beam and Footing using AutoCAD

General Information: The Plot size for the Construction of the residential floor plan has 60'x20' where the plot is East facing and has a Total Area of 1200 sq feet

Since the width of the plot is too small, we are unable to provide the setback distance, so the Total Builtup Area of 1006.6 sq feet

Procedure:

  • Open Autocad
  • Selecting the Imperial system
  • Command UN(units) and selecting Engineering with precision of 0’-0.0”
  • Command LIMITS and having a limit of (0’,0’) in the lower left corner and (10000’,10000’) in the upper right corner
  • Command ZOOM and select All
