- So the first thing I want to do
is make sure that my layer is set to two dash walls
and to make sure that WCS is activated here.
And then I want to go up to view, zoom all,
and that's going to help me set my view here.
The floor plan we're going to create is sort of a
rectangular footprint with a bump out on it.
So I'm going to start with a poly line tool here,
and I'm going to go ahead
and click my first point right about here.
Now make sure that your status bar matches mine.
We want to make sure that polar tracking is turned on.
Dynamic input is turned on.
We want to make sure that
the object snap tracking is turned on
and the object snaps are turned on.
Also for the object snaps, if you right click on this,
make sure that you have end point, midpoint, center,
intersection, all of these turned on
so it looks exactly like mine does right now
at a minimum.
You can have more of these checked if you need to,
but at a minimum, we need at least these five checked.
Okay.
So I'm going to drag my cursor straight up
and using that polar tracking
it's going to lock me into that 90 degrees.
And with dynamic input on,
all I have to do is type in the value of the wall
that I want to draw.
So this is going to be 22 foot wall.
So 20 to add that foot symbol and then press return.
Now I'm going to drag my cursor over here to the right
we're going to type in 15 feet.
It says one five foot press return.
We're going to go straight down five feet and press return.
Come over here to the right.
And this is going to be about 10 foot for this bump out.
And then we're going to come down 12 feet so one, two feet.
Back over here, 10 feet, okay.
And come back down five feet.
And then we're going to type in C for close.
I'll zoom in here just a little bit.
And then we can see the outline of our building
because I created this with a polyline.
I can now offset this line to the inside
to create a wall thickness.
So I'm going to go over here to the offset tool.
I'm going to type in a value of six and press return.
And now I'm just going to go ahead and click this
and then drag it to the inside here
and click a point inside there.
I'll hit return to get me out of the command.
Now I want to select these and explode these lines.
So I'm going to grab both of these hit for explode
and press return.
I want to add one room here to the back of this building.
So I'm going to grab the line tool here,
and I'm going to hover over the mid point
and click that for my midpoint there.
Now I want this to line up with this wall here.
So we're going to hover over the end point.
I'm not clicking.
I'm just hovering over this end point
and then drag my cursor down and then click there.
And then I can drag my cursor up
and click on the end point there.
Now I need to offset these lines
to create the wall thickness here.
I'm going to go back to my offset command.
It should already be set at six from the previous commands
so I'll just hit return.
And then I'm going to offset this down
and then offset this line segment over here to the right
and press return.
I want to clean up this wall over here, just a little bit.
So to do that, I'm going to use the fill it tool.
Now by default,
the fill it tool may or may not have a radius
or an actual curve already applied to it,
but we can also use this to create sharp corners.
And we do this by selecting the first line.
And then if we read the command line,
it says select the second object
or shift select to apply a corner.
So that means hold down the shift key on your keyboard
and then select the second line to apply a corner.
I'm going to use the trim tool
and just trim out this little segment here,
this little segment here and press return.
And there we have our basic floor plan.
So we have all our plan elevation and our section views.
But I want to add a little bit more
well, detail to my detail view.
I want to add a little bit of line work
to make it a little bit more representative
of what you would really see in a detailed view.
So I'm going to zoom in down here to this corner point
here that we had originally specified for our detail view.
I can even restore the view right there, okay.
Now I have a new layer here that we've added called details,
and I'm going to make that my current layer.
And I just want to add a little bit of line work
to this particular view.
So I'm going to grab the line tool and there we are.
And I'm going to start from this corner point here
and just go straight over and then press return.
I'm going to use the offset tool.
I'm going to offset down 1.5 inches.
That's about the size of a,
two by four standard framing number there.
All right, two by six, I guess in this case,
this is a six inch wall, so two-by-six.
Now I want to add a little bit more line work.
So I'm going to go back into offset
and I'm going to use 0.5.
So that's going to be 0.5 for sheet rock
that goes inside the room there,
and then 0.5 for the plywood,
that's going to go on the outside of my building.
I'm going to grab these lines.
I want to make sure that they are all in the same layer here
for my details layer.
And that's going to be important later.
I'm going to grab my trim tool here
and let's zoom in here real quick.
So I'm going to trim out that piece there,
and then I'm going to hold down the shift key
to extend that line right to there.
Okay.
Now over here, I can't extend these two because
they don't, there's nothing for them to meet into,
but if we select our line here
and then place our cursor right over the grip there,
we get the option to lengthen the line.
What this does is it allows you to change the length
of the line without changing the angle of the line.
So I can extend that,
pass this just kind of out into nowhere.
I'll hit escape to de-select that, and then trim.
Now I can hold down the shift key and extend my line
and then trim that line there.
I want to add one more little line segment here.
So I'm going to grab the line tool, click.
We've got that there and then right to there.
That's possible because I have that
extension object snap turned on.
That's that guy right there.
So there we are hit enter and there we go.
So now I have my lines here,
all the extra detail that I need for my detailed view.
Now I need to update the view that I created for my detail.
So I could go up here to the view, recall icon here,
and I can right click on the detail
and I can click on edit.
But when you're adding layers,
I've found that this can be a little bit problematic.
So the safest bet is actually to go to view
and create a new view with the same name.
So we're going to call this detail.
I'm going to re specify my window here.
So I'm just going to make this a little bit tighter,
right about, right about there, and then press return.
So making sure I save that layer snapshot with the view
and then click, okay.
AutoCAD will say, well, this detailed view already exists.
Do you want to replace it?
Yes I do.
And there we are.
So now I should be able to go back to let's say
my section view, and that turns off the details view layer,
or I can go back to detail
and that turns my layer back on.
So this is exactly what I want.
I've got extra detail in that particular view,
but nowhere else.
I can go back to any of my other plans here
and there we are.
