(CO 1) Describe a section

"A section is a cut-through of a space that will show more than of the room'south features. It also allows y'all to prove some structural detail. A section line tin be cut from any part of the infinite, depending on what you would like to bear witness."
Retrieved from https://www.nda.ac.uk/blog/place-plans-elevations-sections/

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

• [STEP 01] Open your CAD file for the Eames House Project.
• [Pace 02] Re-create the flooring plans (1st floor & 2nd flooring) to the right side 100′. This step is optional, just I adopt to save the original plans and to use the copied plans for creating a section view.
  

• [STEP 03] confirm you are in [0] layer and Draw a department 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. Y'all can rely on a column grid line. (For department line, you lot can intermission and offset the line to focus on primal interior and/or architectural elements. The line should commencement and stop outside of the program, and y'all should add together a small perpendicular box to signal the management of the department view. Update the section lines to the [A-ANNO] layer.
  

• [STEP iv] Describe a perpendicular line from the section line on the starting time floor to indicate the building purlieus and drawing boundary.
• [STEP 5] Insert the section drawing (Eames_House_House_Section_A-A'.jpg) by clicking [inset] > click [attach] > select the file Eames_House_House_Section_A-A'.jpg from your project binder > click [open] > click [ok] on Adhere Image window > click a base of operations point and the second bespeak to insert the image > adjust Image Fade to 50 > mouse right-click on the image > click [Depict Order] > click [Transport to Back]
• [Step 6] Relocate (use [motility] control) and rescale (use [scale] command) the inserted image to fit the building boundary for the section lines.
  Note, you must use the object snape [F3] appropriately when you adjust the calibration. Sometimes the object snap works perfectly to click the CAD object. Sometimes the command does non work to click a point in a raster image.
  

• [Step 7] Now, yous are ready to draw the section with the inserted epitome.
  • Note 1. You will rely on the dimensions on the inserted image, the lines on your floor program. Use numeric values to draw lines (please, don't merely click on the paradigm except for the spiral stair. The image is reference but considering the scaled epitome is always a bit off).
  • Note two. Create iii new layers
    • [A-LWT-OBJECT] 0.2mm – The edges of objects, and represent a change in depth
    • [A-LWT-Department] 0.5mm – The lines are representing the boundary of anything cut-through
    • [A-LWT-SURFACE] 0.05mm – The lines are detail lines on an object. They don't represent much (if whatsoever) change in depth
  • Note 3. Apply [LINE]. [PLINE], [SPLINE], [Circle], [TRIM], [Get-go], [FILLET], [EXTEND], and [STRETCH] commands.
  • Annotation 4. Y'all also update the line type manually for door and window openings.
  • Note 5. Outset, you draw the guidelines. You lot are using [xline] for creating a line of space length.
    

• • Then, you draw the section lines.
    

• • After that, you lot draw the object lines.
    

• • Draw surface lines for details.
    

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

• [Pace 8] Move the section and the section lines that y'all drew except the inserted epitome 100′ to the left to save the section drawing in a condom cartoon area.
• [Step ix] Create a block for the section. Select all the elements in the section > Type [B] for creating a block > Ascertain the name [000_Section A-A'] > Click [OK]

(CO two) Draw an height from the floor plan

"An elevation is a view from the side of an object when drawing interior elevations; this would represent i of the walls. This would include whatever windows or doors likewise as any built-in furniture that is in direct contact with the wall."
Retrieved from https://www.nda.ac.uk/weblog/identify-plans-elevations-sections/

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

In this tutorial, students will draw an interior elevation based on Eames Firm, Business firm, Section C-C' drawing, the plan westward elevation in the living room. Students will not draw a section. You volition demand to understand the concept of elevation and will draw only interior peak.

• [STEP 01] Determine an elevation view.
  

• [STEP 02] Draw outline of the meridian by using [xline] to describe the boundary of the elevation.
• [STEP 03] Rotate and relocate the section view c-c' from the inserted image to lucifer the purlieus of the elevation. You will demand to rotate 90degree clockwise.
  

• [Step 04] Rotate the copied floor programme and the inserted image to 90degree counterclockwise. The reason for this step is to describe the peak speedily. It typically takes less time to draw the elevation in the right direction (Up-Northward, Down-South, Left-Due west, and Correct-East).
• [STEP 05] Remove the elements that are not needed from the copied floor plan. Make sure you lot saved the original floor plan. You just delete the elements in the COPIED floor plan.
  

• [STEP 06] Now you can draw the elevation
  • Draw flooring level and ceiling level (eight′ -one″ AFF) (Typically, an interior elevation expresses interior elements only. You don't depict 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 annihilation that is not of import in terms of structure.
• [STEP 07] Add dimensions and opening for more information
  • On the Application Status Bar, switch the scale to 3/viii" = i' 0"
  • Blazon [ddim] and printing [enter] to open up [Dimension Manner Manger]
  • Click [Annotative-3-32] > click [Set Current] > click [Close]
  • Blazon [dim] and press [enter] to add together dimension
  • You will need to click the kickoff extension line origin > click the second extension line origin > specify dimension line location. Echo this process to add dimensions for the casework.
• [STEP 08] Make a block for the elevation.
  • Select the superlative, including lines and dimensions.
  • Type [b], printing [enter] to open up [Block Definition]
  • Define the proper noun [000_Elevation-A]
  • Click [OK] to finish the command
    

• [STEP 09] Organize your drawings.
  • Movement the inserted – reference images to 75′ plan north.
  • Motility your department and elevation on the right side of the floor plans.

(CO three) Add/Edit Text & Notation (in model space – annotative) – K Text, Text Style, One thousand leader, and Multileader Way

In this tutorial, students volition learn how to add together and edit text and annotation in the cartoon area past using [MULTILINE TEXT], [TEXTSTYLE], [MULTILINE LEADER], and [LEADERSTYLE]

Add together room names and room numbers on the flooring plan.

• [Step 01] Switch to the [A-ANNO-TEXT] layer
• [STEP 02] Adjust units by typing [United nations] and printing [enter] to open [Drawing units].
  • The current unit precision is 0′ -0 one/16″
  • Change the unit precision to 0′ -0 1/32″
  • Click [OK] to shut the Drawing units window
• [STEP 03] Add together two 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 Style proper name [Annotative 1-8] and click [OK]
