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

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 G+1 floor residential plan has 60'x20' where the plot is East facing and has 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 1200 sq feet

Procedure:

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