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

• 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.
• Starting from the East, the car parking is planned at 14'x10'6", the Lawn area for about 4'6"x8'8", and stairs for about 9'x9'.
• The building area is drawn leaving a 1 ' offset distance in the North, West, and South directions.
• After providing the offset distance, the floor dimensions come to about 45'x18' including walls,
• Outer walls at 9" thickness and inner walls at 4.5" thickness are provided.
• I have changed the line type into SHORT-DASH for the plot boundary and adjusted the scale for better visibility.
• Now, using the commands Line, polyline, offset, fillet, and trim, I have created my plan for the project.
• It is planned as per VASTHU. Even those directions are mentioned below.
• Main Door: East
• Stairs: South-East
• Kitchen: South-East
• Living Area: Facing East
• Study Room: North-East
• Dinning Room South-East
• Master Bedroom: South-West
• Attached Bathroom: North-West
• Bathroom: North-West.
• The room dimensions are also assumed as per requirement.
• Here, using the line and trim command, I have provided the door spaces as required.
• The Door dimensions are shown below in tabular form.

• Using the mentioned dimension doors are trimmed and placed and here is the figure attached below.

• Using line command, I have created columns of sizes 12"x12" and 9"x12". Using the Hatch command, I have filled columns with AR-CONC adjusted the scale for better visibility, and copy pasted it wherever required in the floor plan. 

• Stairs are provided using line and offset commands, with Tread - 1' and Rise - 9".

• The Window dimensions are shown below in tabular form.

• Windows are drawn as per the dimensions mentioned above and those are plotted and placed in the plan as per requirement.

• After placing the windows draw the sunshades.
• Using the DText command, I have mentioned the names for each room, spaces, doors, windows, and the dimensions for all the rooms.
• Using the commands line, offset, fillet, trim and DText, the compound entrance is created with a 6" thickness wall also the car parking and lawn area are surrounded by a 6" thickness compound wall.
• Using the DIM-LIN command, I have mentioned the dimensions in the additional spaces and changed the layer to dimensions its colors for a better view.

• Using the Hatch command, I have filled LAWN with GRASS and adjusted the scale for better visibility 
• Using the line type LONG-DASH SHORT-DASH, I have cut the plan into 2 sections, SECTION - AA and SECTION - BB. 

• And in the same way the first-floor plan is made only the change is parking is replaced with a balcony as shown below.

2. SECTION-AA:

• Using the commands Line, polyline, offset, fillet, and trim, I have created the sectional view for Section -AA.

• Provided windows as per the plan, kitchen space as per the plan, and stairs as per plan.
• Provided lintel beam over the windows and doors.
• Provided Parapet wall and overhead as well
• Using the Hatch command, I have filled PLINTH BEAM with BRICK and adjusted the scale for better visibility. 

• Using the commands DIM-LIN, I have provided dimensions wherever required.
• Using the DText command, the name is given at the bottom, and staircase dimensions are mentioned.

2. SECTION-BB:

• Using the commands Line, polyline, offset, fillet, trim, and hatch, I have created the sectional view for Section -BB.

• Provide wardrobe as per the plan.
• Hatch command, I have filled WARDROBE with STAR and adjusted the scale for better visibility. 

• Dimensions are given using the DIM-LIN command.
• Using the DText command, the name is given at the bottom.

 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, hajj as per the plan, and door as per the plan.
• Provided lintel beam over the windows and doors.
• Provided Parapet wall. 

• Provided Balcony. 

• Using the Hatch command, I filled the superstructure below the parapet wall with BRICK and adjusted the scale for better visibility. 
• Using the Hatch command, I filled the parapet wall with SOLID and adjusted the scale for better visibility. 

• Using the commands DIM-LIN, I have provided dimensions wherever required.
• Using the DText command, the name is given at the bottom, and staircase dimensions are mentioned.

• given in the bottom and staircase dimensions are mentioned.

• The following image shows the Ground Floor First Floor Plan, Front Elevation, and sections A & B, together.
