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

AIM: To Design and Draft a layout of a residential building with plot size 60'x20', orientation - Facing east, and development of Architectural Drawing (Floor plan, Elevations, and sections), Structural Drawing (Column, Beam, Footing Plan)

PROCEDURE:

1. ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING

STEP A: Setting standards

• In command prompt type UNITS, set to Architectural, precision = 0'-0", insertion scale = inches
• In command prompt type LIMAX and LIMITS set to desired
• In command prompt type ZOOM, All and enter

STEP B: The draft

• In command prompt type XL, set the boundary lines as required in horizontal and vertical as taking External wall as 9" thickness
• In command prompt type OFFSET, specify the desired distances to create the inner boundaries as taking Interior wall as 4.5" thickness
• In command prompt type TRIM, trim of the unwanted lines to get the draft of the desired plan

STEP C: Setting of Layers

• In command prompt type LA, create the layers as desired, and assign colors to it

• Assign created layers to the Exterior and Interior walls

STEP D: Creating doors, windows and ventilators

• By using REC, LINE and ARC commands desired doors are created and assigned
• By using REC, TRIM and OFFSET commands desired windows and ventilators are created and assigned
• Assign created layers to the doors, windows and ventilators

STEP E: Adding of Components

• In command prompt type ADC, from the design center, the desired components are assigned

STEP F: DIMENSIONS

• In command prompt type LA, opens layer properties, and turn off the unwanted layers
• In command prompt type DIMLINEAR, assign the dimensions to the plan

STEP G: Text creation

• In command prompt type DT or TEXT, assign the text where ever required
• By using LINE and DT commands doors, windows and ventilators schedule is created

STEP I: Final output of desired ARCHITECTURAL PLAN of orientation FACING EAST

STEP 2: STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS

A. COLUMN:

• In command prompt type XREF, the previous reference is loaded and assigned required lines for the creation of columns
• In command prompt type LT, the following line type is used for the boundaries
• In command prompt type REC, by assigning dimensions like length, width was 9" x9" and column created
• In command prompt type COPY, copied the previously created column, and assigned to where ever required
• In command prompt type HATCH, the hatch is assigned to the columns and color assigned by layer created for a column
• In command prompt type LA, a new layer is created and assigned to the columns created

The output of Column details

B. Footing:

• In command prompt type XREF, the previous reference (column) is loaded
• In command prompt type REC, by assigning dimensions like length, width to create footing
• In command prompt type OS, selected geometric center
• In command prompt type COPY, copied created footing by the geometric center and assigned as per requirement
• In command prompt type LA, a new layer is created and assigned to the Footing created

The output of Footing details

C. Beam:

• In command prompt type XREF, the previous reference (Footing) is loaded
• In command prompt type LINE, by using line beams are assigned as per requirement
• In command prompt type LA, a new layer is created and assigned to the Footing created

The output of Beam details

The final output of STRUCTURAL DRAWING

STEP 3: SECTIONAL VIEWS

SECTION A-A:

• In command prompt type XL, with the help of architectural plan boundary lines are created
• In command prompt type HATCH, assigned the hatch where required
• In command prompt type DIML, dimensions are assigned

The output of SECTION A-A

SECTION B-B:

• In command prompt type XL, with the help of architectural plan boundary lines are created
• In command prompt type HATCH, assigned the hatch where required
• In command prompt type DIML, dimensions are assigned

The output of SECTION B-B

The Final output of SECTION VIEWS

STEP 4: ELEVATION (Orientation - Facing east)

• In command prompt type XREF, load reference from architectural plan
• In command prompt type XL, with the help of the loaded plan extended the lines from left to right and plot the draft
• In command prompt type ADC, door and window blocks are selected and assigned as where required
• In command prompt type HATCH, assign the hatch to the required areas
