    INTRODUCTION

    The general commands used for drawing the building is as follows:

    Line: The line object is the most basic and common object in AutoCAD drawings of any discipline. Each segment is a line object that can be edited separately, assigning properties such as layer, line type, and line weight.

    Construction Lines: Construction lines (also known as xlines) are temporary line work entities that can be used as references when creating and positioning other objects or line work. Construction lines are either circles or straight lines that extend to infinity in both directions

    Polygon: Creates an equilateral closed polyline. We can specify the number of sides of the polygon and whether it is inscribed or circumscribed.

    Rectangle: When using the RECTANGLE command, absolute or relative coordinate values are used to define the size of the rectangle. Actual dimension values are preferred to create the length and width of the rectangle. Command used- REC

    Circle: Created a circle Command used - CIRCLE or C

    Erase: The erase command is used to remove or delete objects from the drawing. The selected objects can also be removed with the help of the 'Delete' button on the keyboard. We can also delete faces, vertices, and meshes in 3D with the help of Erase command.

    Copy: Copies objects a specified distance in a specified direction. With the COPYMODE system variable, you can control whether multiple copies are created automatically.

    Trim: Trims objects to meet the edges of other objects. Command used: TR

    Layers: Use layers to control the visibility of objects and to assign properties such as colour and line type. Objects on a layer normally assume the properties of that layer. However, you can override any layer property of an object. For example, if an object’s colour property is set to BYLAYER, the object displays the colour of that layer. If the object’s colour is set to Red, the object displays as red, regardless of the colour assigned to that layer. Command used- LAYER

    Mirror: The mirror command in AutoCAD is used to create a copy (mirror copy) of the selected object. We can also delete the source object after mirroring the object. The objects that represent the same as the half of their object can be mirrored across a center line to create the other half of the object.

    Offset: Creates concentric circles, parallel lines, and parallel curves. Command used: OFFSET.

    Extend: Extends objects to meet the edges of other objects. To extend objects, first select the boundaries. Then press Enter and select the objects that you want to extend. To use all objects as boundaries, press Enter at the first Select Objects prompt. Command used: EX

    Array: Creates copies of objects arranged in a pattern. We can create copies of objects in a regularly spaced rectangular, polar, or path array.

    Move: The move command in AutoCAD is used to move objects at a specified distance and direction.

    To move the objects with precision, we can use object snaps, grid snaps, coordinates, etc.

    Rotate: Used to rotate objects in our drawing around a specified base point. To determine the angle of rotation, we can enter an angle value, drag using the cursor, or specify a reference angle to align to an absolute angle. Command used: ROTATE

    Dimension: Creates multiple dimensions and types of dimensions with a single command. We can select objects or points on objects to dimension, and then click to place the dimension line. When we hover over an object, the DIM command automatically generates a preview of a suitable dimension type to use.

    Text: We can use single-line text to create one or more lines of text, where each text line is an independent object that you can move, format, or otherwise modify. Right-click in the text box to select options on the shortcut menu.

    Fillet: The fillet tool helps form round corners between any two entities that form a sharp vertex. Command used: FILLET

    Etc.

     

    PROCEDURE

    Now the lower limit is set to 0, 0 and upper limit to 420, 297

    Type Z enter to zoom and A enter to all

     

     

    STEP 1: SITE LAYOUT

     

     

    First the site plan is drawn using line command. Type L and press enter

    Specify the first point:(0,0)

    Specify the next point: 18300>0

    Specify the next point: 6000>90

    Specify the next point: 18300>180

    Specify the next point: 6000>270

    Type O or offset on the command line and press Enter.

    Specify the value of offset distance:2000

    Select the vertical line to offset and click inside it

    Type O or offset on the command line and press Enter.

    Specify the value of offset distance:1000

    Select the Horizontal line to offset and click inside it

    Two horizontal lines which are 500 mm apart are drawn to show the roads.

    Using the hatch command hatch the proposed building area.

    Hatch style ANSI32 was used here.

    Using the dimensions command Dimlin the required dimensions was plotted and the following image is obtained.

     

    SITE LAYOUT is drafted and the resultant image is as shown

     

    STEP 2: GROUND FLOOR PLAN
