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)

Q. 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, Beam, Footing Plan)

AIM:-To create an own 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.

INTRODUCTION:-
The Architectural and Structural drawings are sketched up in AutoCAD using various tools / commands. The given details to draw the same in AutoCAD they are shown below:

1. Plot Size - 60' x 20'
2. Orientation - East Facing.

COMMANDS USED:-

• Layers
• Line
• Polyline
• XLine
• Dtext
• Dimlinear
• Dimcontinue
• Hatch
• Copy
• Fillet
• Trim
• Erase
• AutoDesk Design Centre
• Offset
• Block

PROCEDURE:-

• Open AutoCAD software
• Set the units to engineering and select ok
• Click z and enter for zoom
• Go to layer properties < create new layers < name the layers for reference < close.
• Architectural drawings:-
  1. Plan
  2. Elevation
  3. Section
• Structural drawings:
  1.Column Layout
  2.Footing Layout
  3.Beam Layout

I. ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS:-

1. PLAN:-

• Using the line Command, i draw the plot boundary of 60'x20'.
• The building's main entrance is facing the East direction.
• Using the commands line, offset, fillet and trim.
• I have used the offset of 9" for external wall
• For internal wall thickness is 4.5".
• I have provided the dimensions of rooms, toilets, kitchen, lobby, hall which is shown in drawing.
• It is planned as per VASTHU.
  
  

2. SECTION-AA:

• Command used- Line, Polyline, Offset, Fillet, trim and layers for making the sectional view.
• Created block for window, and door.
• I have provided the beams and column as per required place.
• Introduced parapet wall.
• Using hatch command, I have differentiated the different part of drawing.
• Used Dtext command for text.
  

3. ELEVATION:-

• Command used- Line, polyline, offset, fillet, trim and hatch.
• I have created the sectional view for the Elevation.
• I have provided the door and windows which is visible from frot elevation.
• I have given the hatch to the sub-structure and also for super-structure.
• Used Dtext for text commitments.
• I have used block for window and door insertion.
  
  II. STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS:-
  

  1. Column Layout:-

• I have turn off all the layers except the column layer and boundary layer in the layer properties.
• Used XLINE command in horizontal and vertical direction to connect all the columns.
• Trim the outer part of the Xline which is not in the boundary range of 60'x20'.
  
  
  2. Beam Layout:-
• I have turn off all the layers except the Beam layer and boundary layer in the layer properties.
• Used XLINE command in horizontal and vertical direction to connect all the columns and beams.
• Trim the outer part of the Xline which is not in the boundary range of 60'x20'.
  
  
  
  3. Footing Layout:-
• I have turned off all the layers except the column layer and boundary layer in the layer properties.
• I have made rectangular isolated footing for all the columns.
• All footings are in placed in a structured manner.
