ANSWER:-

AIM:

To create an Architectural drawing consisting of Floor plan, Elevations and Sections for the plot size 60'x20' and also create the structural drawings for Column, Footing and Beam.

INDRODUCTION:

To draw an architectural and structural drawings in an Autocad.

Plot size: 60'x20' (18.3m x6m)

Orientation: East facing

Command used: Line , Offset , Rectangle, Trim , Extend , Block , Block edit , Dimension , Layer , Hatch , fillet, polyline, text, hatch,Ray, copy, trim, erase.

PROCEDURE :

  • Open Autocad software
  • Set units in inches and feet
  • Go to layer properties click new layers ,name the layers for reference
  • In Architectural drawings there are : Plan, Elevation , Section
  • In structural drawing there are: Column layout, Footing layout, Beam layout

  • Using line tool created a North direction Symbol

ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING:

To create floor plan, Elevation and sections.

  1. PLAN
  • By using line tool , draw a rectangle of size 60'x20'
  • The entrance is facing East direction
  • The wall thickness is 9"
  • This is 60'x20' 3BHK house plan with two story
  • On this 60x20 Ground floor plan
  • Ground floor plan consist of a Living room, master bedroom with a attached bathroom, dining room are available

  • Using the above dimension the doors and walls are placed and using dash line i have created a sunshade

  • By line command i have created columns of size 1'x1' and 9"x1'
  • Here i filled up with hatch of AR-CONC

  • Place the column in a plan where ever it required and draw stairs according to the dimension

  • The dimension of windows are shown below

1'6"x1'6"

  • Windows are drawn as per the dimension

  • After placing the windows draw the sunshades.
  • Using the tool components , i have placed components in all rooms, spaces

  • Using text command , i have mentioned all names for rooms , spaces, doors and windows for ground floor plan

  • Using text command , i have mentioned all names for rooms , spaces, doors and windows for First floor plan

  • Next using hatch command, i have created where ever it required for ground floor plan

  • Again using hatch command, i have created where ever it required for First floor plan

  • Using Dimlinear command , i have created the dimension of ground floor plan

  • Again Using Dimlinear command , i have created the dimension of First floor plan

  • Using the linetype LONG-DASH SHORT-DASH, I have cut the plan into 1 sections, SECTION - AA

  • I have cut the section AA in the ground floor plan as shown below

  • I have cut the section AA in the First floor plan as shown below

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

  • Provided windows as per the plan, kitchen space as
  • Provided lintel beam over the windows, doors.

  • Using hatch command , i have filled in all walls , slabs as required.

  • Provide text and dimension to all rooms, kitchen, spaces.

  1. ELEVATION
  • Using the commands Line, polyline, offset, fillet, trim and hatch, I have created the sectional view for the Elevation

  • Provided windows & doors as per the plan.

  • Provided Parapet wall.
  • Provided balcony
  • Using hatch command , i have created gravel for foundation,& AR-CONC for lintel, slab & beam.

  • Using text command , i have created the text
  • Using DIMLIN command, i have created the dimensions

  • The result for the Architectural drawing , i have shown Ground floor plan , First floor plan, Sectional view and Elevation.

  • STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS
  1. COLUMN LAYOUT
  • First turn off the layers except the column layer and boundary layer in the layer properties
  • Select all column from the building plan and copy them to different area

  • Select the line type as ISO 02W100 and give scale as per requirement.
  • Draw lines through the midpoint of the columns in the horizontal and vertical directions

  • Using the command dimli , create a dimension
  • Measure all objects
  • Using text command, select that tool and give text as per the drawings
  • Modify dimenstion style

  1. BEAM LAYOUT
  • First turn off the layers except the column layer and boundary layer in the layer properties
  • Select all column from the building plan and copy them to different area

  • Select the line type as ISO 02W100 and give scale as per requirement.
  • Draw lines through the midpoint of the columns in horizontal and vertical directions as shown in the figure below.
  • Assign the name beamlines to the beam Layer.

  • Using the command dimli , create a dimension
  • Measure all objects
  • Using text command, select that tool and give text as per the drawings
  • Modify dimenstion style

  1. FOOTING LAYOUT
  • First turn off the layers except the column layer and boundary layer in the layer properties
  • Select all column from the building plan and copy them to different area

  • Using the line command, the square footing of size 4'x4' is provided for all the columns except for staircase column where footing of size 3'x3' is provided.
  • Using the CENTERLINE LineType, the grid lines are provided.
  • Using the DIM-LIN and DIM-CONTINUE command, the dimensions between the grid lines are mentioned.

  • Using the command dimli , create a dimension
  • Measure all objects
  • Using text command, select that tool and give text as per the drawings
  • Modify dimenstion style

  • The result of COLUMN LAYOUT, BEAM LAYOUT, FOOTING LAYOUT are shown below

RESULT
