(CO 1) Draw a section

"A section is a cut-through of a space that will show more than of the room's features. Information technology also allows you to show some structural detail. A section line can be cut from any part of the space, depending on what you would like to show."
Retrieved from https://www.nda.ac.united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland/weblog/identify-plans-elevations-sections/

"A 'section drawing,' 'department,' or 'sectional drawing' shows a view of a structure as though it had been sliced in half or cut along another imaginary plane."

For more than information about a building section drawing, delight read this page: https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Section_drawing

In this tutorial, students will depict a building department based on Eames House, Business firm, Section A-A' drawing, the plan s section (Yous can download the paradigm from Sail Module and this link Eames_House_House_Section_A-A'.jpg), and your space planning (Furnishings, fixtures, and equipment).

• [STEP 01] Open your CAD file for the Eames Business firm Project.
• [Step 02] Copy the floor plans (1st floor & 2d floor) to the right side 100′. This stride is optional, but I prefer to save the original plans and to use the copied plans for creating a department view.
  

• [STEP 03] confirm you are in [0] layer and Describe a section line (recommended to use [PLINE]) on the first floor for a section view. Copy the section line in the same position for the second floor. You tin rely on a column grid line. (For section line, you tin can break and offset the line to focus on fundamental interior and/or architectural elements. The line should start and terminate outside of the plan, and you should add a small perpendicular box to betoken the direction of the section view. Update the section lines to the [A-ANNO] layer.
  

• [STEP 4] Describe a perpendicular line from the department line on the get-go floor to point the building boundary and drawing boundary.
• [STEP five] Insert the section drawing (Eames_House_House_Section_A-A'.jpg) past clicking [inset] > click [attach] > select the file Eames_House_House_Section_A-A'.jpg from your project folder > click [open] > click [ok] on Attach Image window > click a base point and the 2nd point to insert the image > adjust Paradigm Fade to 50 > mouse right-click on the prototype > click [Depict Order] > click [Send to Back]
• [Stride 6] Relocate (employ [move] control) and rescale (use [scale] command) the inserted image to fit the building boundary for the section lines.
  Note, you lot must employ the object snape [F3] appropriately when you arrange the scale. Sometimes the object snap works perfectly to click the CAD object. Sometimes the command does not piece of work to click a point in a raster image.
  

• [Step 7] Now, you are prepare to draw the section with the inserted image.
  • Note 1. Yous volition rely on the dimensions on the inserted prototype, the lines on your floor plan. Use numeric values to draw lines (please, don't merely click on the paradigm except for the spiral stair. The image is reference just because the scaled image is e'er a flake off).
  • Note 2. Create three new layers
    • [A-LWT-OBJECT] 0.2mm – The edges of objects, and correspond a change in depth
    • [A-LWT-Section] 0.5mm – The lines are representing the boundary of annihilation cutting-through
    • [A-LWT-SURFACE] 0.05mm – The lines are detail lines on an object. They don't represent much (if any) alter in depth
  • Annotation 3. Use [LINE]. [PLINE], [SPLINE], [CIRCLE], [TRIM], [OFFSET], [FILLET], [EXTEND], and [STRETCH] commands.
  • Note 4. You as well update the line type manually for door and window openings.
  • Annotation 5. First, y'all draw the guidelines. Yous are using [xline] for creating a line of infinite length.
    

• • Then, yous draw the department lines.
    

• • After that, you draw the object lines.
    

• • Depict surface lines for details.
    

• • Finally, you add furniture, and you should edit the details and objects hidden from the forepart of the object.
    

• [Pace 8] Motion the section and the section lines that you drew except the inserted image 100′ to the left to relieve the section cartoon in a safety drawing surface area.
• [STEP 9] Create a block for the section. Select all the elements in the section > Type [B] for creating a block > Define the name [000_Section A-A'] > Click [OK]

(CO two) Draw an elevation from the flooring programme

"An elevation is a view from the side of an object when drawing interior elevations; this would represent one of the walls. This would include any windows or doors too as any built-in furniture that is in directly contact with the wall."
Retrieved from https://www.nda.air conditioning.uk/blog/identify-plans-elevations-sections/

"The term 'elevation' refers to an orthographic projection of the exterior (or sometimes the interior) faces of a building, that is, a two-dimensional drawing of the building'southward façades."
Retrieved from https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/wiki/Elevations

In this tutorial, students will draw an interior elevation based on Eames House, Business firm, Section C-C' drawing, the program due west height in the living room. Students will not depict a section. You volition need to empathise the concept of superlative and will draw only interior meridian.

• [Footstep 01] Decide an elevation view.
  

• [STEP 02] Depict outline of the top past using [xline] to draw the boundary of the elevation.
• [STEP 03] Rotate and relocate the section view c-c' from the inserted epitome to match the purlieus of the elevation. You volition need to rotate 90degree clockwise.
  

• [STEP 04] Rotate the copied floor plan and the inserted epitome to 90degree counterclockwise. The reason for this step is to draw the superlative quickly. It typically takes less time to depict the elevation in the correct management (Upwardly-N, Down-South, Left-West, and Right-East).
• [STEP 05] Remove the elements that are not needed from the copied floor programme. Brand sure you lot saved the original floor plan. You lot only delete the elements in the COPIED floor plan.
  

• [Stride 06] Now you can describe the pinnacle
  • Draw floor level and ceiling level (8′ -i″ AFF) (Typically, an interior elevation expresses interior elements only. You don't draw wall thickness, window cutting, ceiling structure, and roof structure.) > Change the lines for the wall ends, floor level, and the ceiling level to [A-LWT-SECTION]
  • Switch the layer to [A-LWT-OBJECT] > Draw wall and furniture by using [LINE], [PLINE], [CIRCLE], [FILLET]. [TRIM]
  • If needed, switch the layer to [A-LWT-SURFACE] > Draw anything that is not important in terms of construction.
• [Pace 07] Add dimensions and opening for more information
  • On the Awarding Condition Bar, switch the scale to 3/8" = 1' 0"
  • Blazon [ddim] and press [enter] to open [Dimension Manner Manger]
  • Click [Annotative-3-32] > click [Set Current] > click [Close]
  • Blazon [dim] and press [enter] to add dimension
  • You lot will need to click the kickoff extension line origin > click the second extension line origin > specify dimension line location. Repeat this process to add dimensions for the casework.
• [Pace 08] Brand a block for the meridian.
  • Select the height, including lines and dimensions.
  • Type [b], press [enter] to open [Block Definition]
  • Define the name [000_Elevation-A]
  • Click [OK] to finish the control
    

• [STEP 09] Organize your drawings.
  • Move the inserted – reference images to 75′ programme northward.
  • Movement your section and height on the right side of the floor plans.

(CO iii) Add/Edit Text & Notation (in model space – annotative) – M Text, Text Style, M leader, and Multileader Way

In this tutorial, students will learn how to add and edit text and annotation in the drawing area by using [MULTILINE TEXT], [TEXTSTYLE], [MULTILINE LEADER], and [LEADERSTYLE]

Add room names and room numbers on the floor program.

• [STEP 01] Switch to the [A-ANNO-TEXT] layer
• [STEP 02] Adjust units by typing [United nations] and press [enter] to open [Drawing units].
  • The current unit precision is 0′ -0 1/sixteen″
  • Modify the unit precision to 0′ -0 1/32″
  • Click [OK] to close the Drawing units window
• [Pace 03] Add ii text styles for the room names and room numbers
  • From the Annotate tab, Text panel on the ribbon, Click [Standard] > Click [Manage Text Styles]
    

• • On [Text Style] window, click [New]
  • Enter Manner name [Annotative 1-8] and click [OK]
  • Ostend [Annotative] is checked, update Paper Text Height to [0′-0 i/eight″]
  • Click [Apply]
  • Click [Gear up Current]
  • Click [New]
  • Enter Style name [Annotative 3-32] and click [OK]
  • Confirm [Annotative] is checked, update Newspaper Text Height to [0′-0 three/32″]
  • Click [Apply] and click [Close]
    

• [Pace 04] Add room name
  • Verify the Text Style is [Annotative 1-8] from [Annotate] tab, on [Text] console
  • Click [Multiline Text] from [Comment] tab, on [Text] panel
    or, Blazon [mt] and press [Enter]
  • Define a text box for a room name. Using All Caps are recommended for a room name. Sometimes, utilise an acronym. (east.thousand., LIVING RM)
  • Enter [a room name] and click a indicate outside of the text box.
• [STEP 05] Add together room number
  • Verify the Text Style is [Annotative 3-32] from [Annotate] tab, on [Text] console
  • Click [Multiline Text] from [Annotate] tab, on [Text] panel
    or, Blazon [mt] and press [Enter]
  • Define a text box for a room number.
  • Enter [a room name] and click a point exterior of the text box. Typically, each room requires ane number, e.g., 102 (The get-go number (1) indicates the flooring number. In this case, the living room is located on the first level. The second and the third number (02) indicate room number that starts from the main entry to clockwise. In this case, the HALL is 101; LIVING RM is 102.
  • Draw a box around using [RECTANGLE]
• [Footstep 06] Create a block for the room name and number that y'all just created. Proper noun the block to [000_Room name and number]
  Notation. This strategy is useful because once the block is updated on the floor plan, the room names and room numbers are automatically updated on other plans like a ceiling plan, cease plan and more.
• [STEP 07] Use [Edit Block-in Place] to copy the room name and number to all rooms > Edit the names and numbers by double-clicking the proper name and the number > Click [Save Changes] to close [Edit Cake-in Identify]
