AIM : Design and Draft a layout of a residential building with the following details:

a. Plot Size: 60’x20’(18.3m x6m)

b. Orientation- Facing East

c. Develop the following: 1. Architectural Drawing (Floor Plan, Elevations, and Sections) 2. Structural Drawing (Column, Bean, Footing Plan)

INTRODUCTION : A (60' X 20')Residential Building is designed with Architectural and structural drawing by using following command

  • Line
  • Rectangle
  • Polygon
  • Circle
  • Trim
  • Mirror
  • Offset
  • Array
  • Rotate
  • Move
  • Erase
  • Dimension
  • Text
  • Fillet
  • Layers

Procedure :

PROCEDURE:

  • Open new AutoCAD drawinf
  • Set dimension setting as Architectural
  • Set angle measure as East and press next
  • Keep ortho , Object snap >ON
  • Keep snap grid >off
  • Units to scale inserted content > feet & inches
  • Take xline command
  • Put xline horizontal and xline vertical
  • Trim the negative coordinates
  • Make outline of the House Plan by using Line command with dimensions 60' and 20' inches
  • Give the offset of 9" to make external wall thickness
  • Offset the horizontal line at distance of 6'3" , then make a inner wall offset of 4.5"
  • Now again offset each line to the next line at a distance of 13'9" , 4.5" ,5',13'9", 4.5" , 10'7.5", 4.5", 7'3", 9".
  • using dimension command measure the required dimensions.
  • For internal wall give offset of 4.5" inches and for external wall give offset of 9" inches
  • Offset the vertical line at a disctance of 6', 9'1", then 9' including interior wall.
  • Give offset to each above vertical line as per their wall thickness
  • Give the another required offsets by using offset command
  • Leave the spaces for doors
  • Take trim command and trim the required lines

  • Click on layers properties
  • Click on new layers
  • Give the layer name > wall
  • Turn the layer > on
  • Set Unlock
  • Select layer colour> white
  • Similarly, use this above process to provide the layers
  • The layers which are assigned are shown as below
  • Using line command
  • Provide the window and doors as per their respective dimensions
  • Using HATCH command provide hatching in the walls, after using region command
  • Now provide text and other marking of sections AA and section BB
  • Use Array command and make stairs,
  • use layer command with continious command , with green colour. mark section AA ans section BB
  • With Rectangular command make columns throughout the floor plan

Section AA

  • Make the out line of House , specify the lenght of house as per the section 60' and height 11'
  • Now offset the line as per the distance of walls in the plan, make doors and windows
  • now using region command make the required region for the hatching
  • Now hatch the Plinth are with Concrete hatching and window and doors with grading of glass and steel
  • Using Dimension command, show the dimensions od the section
  • Use Text command and provide all the specification of the section
  • Now use the hatching in the stairs.

Section BB

  • For this section draw a line of 20' and height of 11' feet
  • Make doors and walls as per dimension
  • Hatch the walls and plinth area, also doors
  • mark the dimensions

PLINTH and Column Beam LAYOUT

  • Make the similar plan and provide the columns within the plan
  • Place all the columns on the plan drawing
  • Hatch the walls and columns by using Hatch command
  • Now draw the continious line from layers throught the column passage
  • Mark the columns as C1, C2, C3, C4 etc.
