Aim

To draw the Plan, Cross section and elevation of a single storied residential building for the given line diagram.

Data:Draw the L/S and C/S of a doubly reinforced beam for a building having following details

Where,

MD – 1.1m x 2.1m	W1- 1.5m x 1.35m
D1 – 0.9m x 2.1m	W2- 1.2m x 1.35m
D2 – 0.75m x 2.1m	W3- 1.45m x 1.00m
PD – 0.90m x 2.1m	W4- 1.05m x 1.35m
V1 – 0.60m x 0.60m	W5- 2.20m x 1.35m

Software used: Autocad

Commands used:Limits, ortho, offset, line, zoom, move, trim, extend, hatch, dimension, text etc.

Procedure:

The limits are set before starting the drawing. The lower left corner is set as default (0.0000, 0.0000). The upper right corner is changed as per our requirements.

By using units command, we set the types as decimal, precision as 0.0000 and units to scale as millimetres.

Ortho is switched off as the drawing requires use of inclined line also along with horizontal and vertical lines.

By using the line command, the outline of the required drawing is drawn.

By using the trim command, the extra lines are trimmed.

Lines are extended using extend command wherever necessary.

Donut option is used to represent the c/s of reinforcements.

Offset command is used to get lines at regular distance.

Hatching is done using hatch command.

Dimensions are provided and text command is also used for labelling the drawing.

Result:The required Plan, Cross section and elevation of a single storied residential building for the given line diagram is drawn using the software.
