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

Aim:

To Create an own architectural drawing consisting of floor plan , Elevation and section for the plot size 60'*20' and also create the structural drawing for column,footing and beam.

Introduction;

The aketched up in Autocad using various tools/commands.

1. Plote size-60'*20'

2.Orientation- East Facing.

Commands used:

* Layers

* Line

* Polyline

* Xline

* Dtext

* Multileader

* Dimlinear

* Dimcontinue

* Hatch

* Copy

* Fillet

* Trim

* Erase

* Offset

Procedure;

* Open Autocad

* Set the units to engineering and select ok.

* Set limits as lower left corner(0,0) and upper right corner (500',500')

* Go to layer properties< create new layers < name of the layers for reference< close.

* Architectural drawing;

1.Plan

2.Elevation

3.Section

* Structural drawing:

1.Column layout

2.Fooing layout

3.Beam layout

* Using the commands line and and Dtext, i have created the the directions.

* Then, using the block command, i made it to a single block and named it as directions.

I.Architectural Drawing;

1.Plan;

* Using the line command, i draw the plot boundary of 60'*20'.

* The buildings man entrance is facing, the east direction.

* Using the commands line, offset,fillet and trim.

* starting from the east , the car parking is planed at 14'*10'6",lawn area for about 4'6"*8'8" and stairs for about 9'*9'

* The Building area is drawn leaving 1' offset distance in the north,west and south directions.

* After providing the offset distance ,the floor dimensions comes about 45'*18' including walls,

* Outer walls at 9" thickness and inner walls at 4.5" thickness is provided.

* I have changed the linetype 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 own plan for the project.

* It is planed as per VASTHU. Even those directions are mentioned below.

* Main door; East

* Stairs; South- East

* Kitchen: South-East

* Pooja room: North-East

* Living Area: Facingp- East

* Study room:North -East

* Dining room: South-East

* Master bedroom: South-west

* Attached Bathroom: North-west

* The room dimension are also assumed as per requirement.

* here, using the line and trim command, i have provied the door space as required.

* The door dimension are shown below in tabular form.

D1-5'*7'

D2-3'*7'

D3-2'6"*6'6"

* Using the mentioned dimensions doors are trimmed and placed and here is the figure attached below.

* Using line command,i have created column of sizes 12"*12" and 9"*12".using the hatch command ,ihave filled.

columns with AR-CONC and adjusted the scale for better visibility and copy pasted it whenever required in the floor plan.

* Stairs are provided using line and offset column,with tread-1' and rise 9"

* The window dimensions are shown below .

W1-5'*4'

W2-4'*4'

W3-3'*4'

V-1'6"*1'6"

* Windows are draw as per the dimensioned 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 rooms, space , doors, windows and the dimensions for all the rooms.

* Using the command line , offset , fillet, trim and Dtext, the compound entrance is crated with 6" thickness wall also the car parking and lawn area surrounded by 6" thickness compound wall.

* Using the DIM-LIN command, i have mentioned the dimensions in the additional space and change the layer to dimensions its colors for betterview.

* Using Hatch command, i have filled LAWN and adjusted the scale for better visibility

* Using the linetype LONG-DASH SHORT-DASH, i have cut the plan into 2 sections, Section-AA and Section-BB.

* And in the same way first floor is made only the change is parking is replaced as balcony as shown below.

2. SCTION_AA

* Using the command line,polyline ,offset, fillet and trim, i have createdthe sectional view for the Section-AA.

* Provided windows as per the plan, kitchen space as per plan and stairs as per plan.

* Provided lintel beam over the windows, doors.

* Provided parapet wall and over head as well.

* Using 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 whenever required.

* And using Dtext command, the name is given in the bottom and staircase dimensions are mentioned.

2.SECTION-BB:

* Using the commands line,Polyline, offset,fillet,trim,and hatch created the sectional view for the section-BB.

* Dimensions are given using the DIM-LIN command.

* Using Dtext command, the name is given in 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, and door as per plan.

* Provided lintel beam over the windows,doors.

* Provided parapet wall.

* Provided balcony.

* Using Hatch command, i have filled super structure below parapet wall with BRICK and adjustment the scale for better visibility.

* Using hatch command, i have filled parapet wall with SOLID and adjusted and scale for better visibility.

* Using the command DIM-LIN, i have provided dimensions whenever required.

* And using Dtext command, the name is given in the bottom and staircase dimensions are mentioned.

* The following image shows the ground floor first floor plan, front elevation and section A & B, together.
