2D House Plans and Sections with Dimensions

Creating 2D house plans and sections in AutoCAD is a key skill for architects, designers, and engineers. A detailed floor plan and section provide a clear representation of the layout, dimensions, and structure of a house. In this post, we’ll cover the basics of drawing 2D house plans and sections in AutoCAD, with tips on adding precise dimensions. Plus, download practice files to hone your skills and check out the work request details for professional help!

1. Drawing a 2D House Plan

The house plan represents the top view of the house, showing rooms, walls, doors, windows, and furniture placement.

Steps to Create a 2D House Plan:

  1. Set Units and Scale:

    • Type UNITS in the command bar and choose the desired unit (e.g., millimeters or inches).
    • Set a consistent scale for the drawing.

  2. Draw Walls:

    • Use the Line or Polyline command to draw wall outlines.
    • Use the Offset command to create parallel inner and outer walls.

  3. Add Doors and Windows:

    • Use the Rectangle and Arc commands for door and window symbols.
    • Use the Trim command to clean up intersections.

  4. Furniture and Fixtures:

    • Use pre-drawn blocks for furniture and fixtures, or draw them manually using basic commands like Line and Circle.

  5. Dimensioning the Plan:

    • Use the DIM command to add dimensions for walls, openings, and overall layout.

2. Drawing a House Section

A section is a vertical cut through the house, showing internal features like floor levels, windows, doors, and roof details.

Steps to Create a House Section:

  1. Mark Section Line on the Plan:

    • Use a dashed line and arrows to indicate the section cut.

  2. Draw the Vertical View:

    • Start by drawing the floor and ceiling lines.
    • Add walls, windows, and doors based on the plan.

  3. Detail Structural Elements:

    • Include roof details, staircases, or any other internal structures visible in the section.

  4. Add Dimensions:

    • Use the DIM command to specify floor heights, wall thicknesses, and window/door dimensions.

Fluid mechanics VIVA QUESTIONS and ANSWERS

1. Define density? Ans: It is defined as the ratio of mass per unit volume of the fluid. 2. Define viscosity? Ans: It is defined as the property of fluid which offers resistance to the movement of fluid over another adjacent layer of the fluid. 3. Differentiate between real fluids and ideal fluids? Ans: A fluid, which is in-compressible and is having no viscosity, is known as ideal fluid while the fluid, which possesses viscosity, is known as real fluid. 4. What is a venturimeter? Ans: It is a device which is used for measuring the rate of flow of fluid flowing through pipe. 5. What is a notch? Ans: A notch is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a fluid through a small channel or a tank. 6. Define buoyancy? Ans: When a body is immersed in a fluid, an upward force is exerted by the fluid on the body. This upward force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. 7. Define meta-centre?

Welding VIVA question and answers

VIVA QUESTIONS : Q1: Define welding? Ans:  Welding is a fabrication process that joins two or more materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, by melting and fusing them together using heat or pressure. Q2: What is the typical thickness of MS Plate used in general welding workshop experiments? Ans:  The thickness of the MS (Mild Steel) plate used in general welding workshop experiments can vary depending on the specific requirements of the experiment. However, commonly used thicknesses range from 3 mm to 12 mm. Q3: What is the common job material used in welding experiments? Ans:  The common job material used in welding experiments is mild steel. It is widely available, affordable, and relatively easy to work with, making it suitable for various welding applications and practice. Q4: What is the main function of an electrode in welding? Ans:  The main function of an electrode in welding is to carry the electric current necessary for the welding process and to ...

Strength of Materials viva Question and Answers

1. Define Hooke’s Law.  Ans . It states that when the material is loaded within the elastic limit the stress is directly proportional to strain. i.e. Stress α strain. or Stress = constant x Strain 2. Define Strength of materials.   Ans . The strength of a material is its ability to withstand an applied stress without failure. 3. What is stress?  Ans . When load is applied on any object then a resisting force is induced, that resisting or reacting per unit area of cross-section is called stress. 4. What is strain? Ans . Stress is change in dimensions upon original dimentions. 5. What is deformation?  Ans . Deformation is change in dimensions of any object due to applied load. 6.

Isometric drawings for practice in AutoCAD

What is Isometric Drawing? Isometric drawing is a method of visually representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. It allows for a clear and comprehensive depiction of complex structures by keeping the scale consistent and eliminating distortion. Isometric drawings use a 30-degree angle from the horizontal in all three axes (X, Y, and Z), creating a pseudo-3D effect where the height, width, and depth are equally foreshortened. Creating Isometric Drawings in AutoCAD AutoCAD provides tools and settings that make creating isometric drawings straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide: Step 1: Set Up Isometric Snap/Grid 1. Enable Isometric Snap/Grid:    - Type `SNAP` in the command line and press `Enter`.    - Type `Style` and press `Enter`.    - Choose `Isometric` and press `Enter`. 2. Switch Between Isoplanes:    - Type `F5` or `CTRL+E` to toggle between the top, right, and left isoplanes. Step 2: Draw Isometric Circles and Arcs 1. Isom...

TIN SMITHY & Sheet metal

TIN SMITHY Introduction : Many engineering and house articles such as boxes, cans, funnels, ducts etc. are made from a flat sheet of metal. The process being known as tin smithy. For this the development of the article is first drawn on the sheet metal, then cut and folded, to form the required shape of the article. Allowance should be given in the drawing stage for folding and bending. This allowance depends upon the radius of the bend and thickness of the sheet metal. Sheet Metal Materials : A variety of metals are used in a sheet metal shop such as galvanized Iron, black, Iron, tin, Stainless Steel, copper and Aluminium. Hand Tools : The common hand tools used in sheet metal work are steel, try square, Wire gauge, Scriber, Ball peen hammer, Nylon Mallet, Snips Divider, Stakes, Cutting plier and Soldering Iron. Here, the details of tools that are being equipped by our workshop purpose only are presented. Wire Gauge: The thickness of sheet is referred in numbers known ...
