Beam Size = 230 mm x 350 mm

Column Size = 230 mm x 230 mm

Procedure :-

Open AutoCAD application.

Type "Un" and press enter.

Set Units to scale inserted content as "milimeter" and press Enter.

Sets limits by typing "limits" in command box.

Type "LA" in the command box and press enter.

In Layer properties manager, create new layers by clicking on new layer icon.

Using line command create a plot boundaary of 60'*20'

Draw direction lines for reference

Now using line,Fillet,Trim ,Extend and various commands i have created a plan.

The plan is as per vaasthu shastra

Using line command i have created columns of sizes 9"*12" copy pasted wherever required.

Stairs are provided using line & offset command Tread of 1' & Riser 9"

Doors & windows are provided at required places

Changed the compound wall line type to Acad-ISO09W100

Using line & offset command compound wall of car parking & garden is created to a thickness of 5"

The dimension are mentioned using DTEXT command.

Used MTEXT to indicate the rooms.

Extra spaces are mentioned using Arrow marks

Using hatch commands columns are filled with AR-CONC.

From layer properties colour of window,ventilator,wall,staircase,Dimesnion,MTEXT colour is changed

Using the commanmd XL(VERTICAL),XL(HORIZONTAL),TRIM,OFFSET i had drawn the elevation SECTION AA

Trim the unwanted lines.

Dimensions are imdicated using DIM-TEXT command.

Words are type using MTEXT

Front elevation is created using XL-VER,XL-HOR,TRIM,HATCH command

Window dimension 2'*2' & arc is used in window ,ventilator dimension,door dimension3'*5'

Dimensions are mentioned using DIM-STYLE

Text created using DIMTEXT command

following imagess shows the Floor plan,Section-AA & Front elevation.

Now using copy command ,copy all the columns & plot boundary ,paste it all above the floor plan.

Hatch the columns using hatch command

Turn on midpoint from snap settings & draw grid lines using command XV(VER) & XL(HOR)

Using rectangle command the sqaure footing of size 3'*3' is provided for all columns

Turn on the midpoint in snap settings ,copy paste created square footing to all the columns

Change the lines into dash type from the By-layer properties

Mark the dimesnison of the footing using DIM STYLE command

Changing the colour of the grid lines for clear visibility

Mentional horizontal grid lines as A,B,C,D & Vertical grid lines 1,2,3

Using copy command all columns & beams are pasted.

Using DIM-LINE command centre to centre distance between each column is mentioned

Using line ,circle,MTEXT command Column schedule,Beam schedule & Footing where created.
