COMPUTER AIDED BUILDING PLANNING AND DRAWING (BCE351)
MODULE 1
Drawing basics
Introduction
The art of representing technical structures with the aid of drawing instruments on paper is
known as working drawing. A working drawing if properly drawn can convey the details such
as shape, size, materials used, location, placing and planning of different services; in short it
conveys the whole form of the structure, on the paper before the materialization of the structure.
So these drawings are most prior thing in any civil engineering projects.
The building drawing office practices followed are based on certain basic principles as
laid down by ISI. These principles are called “Code of Practice” and the guidelines for
engineering drawing are as per IS 962 – “Code of practice for Architectural and Building
Drawings” and IS 10711.They include size of papers, layout of drawings, conventional
representations, sizes of letters and numerals on drawings, graphic symbols and abbreviations.
Following paragraphs deal with the same.
An engineering drawing traditionally is prepared using drawing instruments. But the
accuracy of these drawing is dependent on the individual skill of the person drawing them. The
modifications and repetition work of these drawings are cumbersome and time consuming.
Hence the popular alternative for manual preparation of engineering drawing is the computer
aided design and drafting system. One such most widely used drafting tool is
AutoCAD.
Size of drawings
Drawing sheets are cut from rolls and are made into different sizes so that each size can be
worked upon. The table below gives the standard size of drawing sheets.
Sl. No. Size Designation Trimmed size of the drawing sheet (mm)
1 A0 841 x 1189
2 A1 584 x 841
3 A2 420 x 594
4 A3 297 x 420
5 A4 210 x 297
Layout and Title block

Border lines should be drawn all-round the drawing sheet leaving a margin of 25mm or 30mm
on left hand side and 10mm on all other sides. Title block is drawn at the right bottom corner
of the sheet and remaining space is utilized for drawing.
A title block normally carries the following information;
(i) Title of the drawing
(ii) Name of organization
(iii) Drawing number with revision number
(iv) Scale
(v) Date of the drawing
(vi) Signature of the concerned authorities.

Scales
Drawings drawn to the scale enable dimensions to be “read-off” from the drawing. When the
drawing is made to the same scale as that of actual object, it is called full scale (1:1). However,
the building drawings are too large to be drawn to full size. Therefore, there must be reduced
scales to fit the normal drawing sheets. Thus the main function of scale is to enable the designer
to draw a building to a convenient size to enable the builder to think in relation to the actual
size of the structures.
Sl. No. Drawing Scale
1 Large plot plans 1:200
2 Small plot plans 1:100
3 Floor plan 1:50
4 Detailed drawing 1:20, 1:10, 1:5
Line work
All lines should be dense, clean and black and black to produce good prints. For details
reference shall be made to IS 10714:1983.
Lettering and Dimensioning

The writing of details, references and naming of different views are done with the letters
of uniform sizes.
Sl. No. Purpose Size of the letters
Height in mm
1 Main title and drawing number 6, 8, 10 & 12
2 Sub-titles and heading 3, 4, 5 & 6
3 Notes such as legends, schedules, materials and dimensions 2, 3, 4 & 5
Conventional signs and symbols

Conventional signs are used on building drawings to represent various building materials and
Conventional symbols are the short notations which are used to represent the actual object in
building drawings. These are also called as civil engineering symbols which give approximate
shape of the object.
The conventional symbols represent the object at a particular location of sanitary fittings such
as towel rail, water closet, sink, wash basin, shower and electrical fittings like switch, ceiling
fan, exhaust fan and even furniture as dining table, chairs, cloths cabinet, dressing table, T.V.,
etc. These are not drawn according to the scale but drawn proportionately. The Bureau of Indian
Standards has recommended various types of conventional signs and symbols to fulfil the
following objectives;
_ To save time, labour, material and space on drawing sheet.
_ To avoid confusion and misunderstanding.
_ To achieve quick identifications of details.
_ To increase the speed in preparation of drawings.
_ To save time in reading and understanding the drawing.
_ To avoid confusion in interpretation of details by the site supervisors, etc.

AutoCAD - essential
About AutoCAD
AutoCAD is most popular computer aided design and drafting software application from
Autodesk, a leading US based company. Apart from AutoCAD, Autodesk has a spectrum of
products for various fields such as Mechanical, AEC, GIS, R to V.
Launching AutoCAD is very simple: Just double click on the short cut icon of AutoCAD
program or start the application by clicking,
Start > Program > Autodesk > AutoCAD > AutoCAD
After few moments, you could see the Graphical User Interface (GUI) of AutoCAD. The
AutoCAD environment looks as in figure below. The AutoCAD GUI is very user friendly and
comprehensive consisting of various Menus and tool bars. The arrangement of the Menu bar
and Tool bars can be customized.
Communicating with AutoCAD

AutoCAD is a servant, it does everything you tell it and no more. You can communicate with
it using commands in the menu, screen menu, command line and buttons on the toolbars.
Command: A command is a single word instruction from the user to perform the required task.
When you invoke a command, AutoCAD responds by presenting messages in the command
prompt area or by displaying dialogue box. The messages in the command prompt are often tell
you what to do next or they offer lot of options pertaining to the command. The commandscan
also be called by one or two letter short cut keys.
The Menu
The menus are available on the menu bar offer a quicker way to access the commands and
functions that are the heart of AutoCAD. The menu options issue a command that requires
keyboard or drawing inputs. As you select the commands and options, AutoCAD flashes a
single line help in the status bar.
1. NEW
Menu: File
Command line: new
It creates a new drawing file. The behaviour of the NEW command is determined by the startup
setting on the System tab of the Options dialogue box.
Show the Start-up dialogue box: NEW displays the Create New Drawing dialogue box. Do Not
Show the Start-up dialogue box: NEW displays the Select Template dialogue box. Create New
Drawing dialogue box: Defines the settings for a new drawing. There are three main methods
to create a new drawing.
Start from Scratch: Starts an empty drawing using default imperial or metric settings. Use of
Template: Starts a new drawing file based on a drawing template file. Template drawings store
all the settings for a drawing and may also include predefined layers, dimension styles and
views. They are normally kept in a template directory and template drawings are distinguished
from other drawing files by .dwt file extension. Select a Template lists all DWT files that
currently exist in the drawing template file location.

Browse: Displays the Select Template dialogue box where you can access template files that
are not available in the Select a Template list.
Use of Wizard: Set up a drawing using a step-by-step guide. There are two wizards.
A. Quick Setup Wizard: It deals through two steps for new drawing i.e. units and area.
UNITS
Menu: Format - Units
Command line: units
In auto cad, drawings are drawn at full size. The size is set at the time of printing. But it is
possible to select any unit system and precision. AUTO CAD by default uses decimal units.
However, unit style is to be changed if any other unit system is required.
LIMITS
Menu: Format - Drawing limits
Command line: limits it sets and controls the drawing boundaries. It is the invisible boundary
to fit the drawing.
It should be large enough to contain the drawing and other related parts of it. Limits can be
changed whenever required.
ON/OFF/ < Lower left corner ><0, 0>: Enter lower coordinate value and press enter, upper
right corner <420, 297>; enter the co-ordinate value and press enter; when limits checking is
ON. AUTO CAD rejects attempts to enter points outside the drawing limits.
OFF; Turns off limits checking.
LOWER LEFT CORNER: Specifies the lower left corner for the drawing limits, default lower
limit is (0, 0).
UPPER RIGHT CORNER: Specifies the upper right corner for the drawing limits, default
upper limit is (420, 297).
B. Advanced Wizard: It deals through seven steps;
1. Units
2. Angles
3. Angle measure
4. Angle Direction
5. Area
6. Title block
7. Layout.
2. SAVE
Command line: save
File menu: Qsave
It saves the drawing under a current file name. The Save Drawing dialogue box is displayed
and drawing can be saved under the current file name or a different file name.
3. SAVE AS
Command line: save as
File menu: Save As
It saves a copy of current drawing under new file name.

4. QNEW
Command line: qnew
Starts a new drawing with the option of using a default drawing template file and folder path
specified in the Options dialogue box on the Files tab. You can set the default drawing template
file or to None.
5. OPEN
File menu: Open
Command line: open
It is used to open an existing drawing file. The Select File dialogue box is displayed. You can
open and load a portion of drawing. In the Select File dialogue box, click the arrow next to
Open button and choose Partial Open or Partial Open Read Only to display the Partial Open
dialogue box.
6. CLOSE
File menu: Close
Command line: close
It closes the current drawing file. If you modified the drawing since it was last saved, AutoCAD
prompts you to save or discard changes. You can close the file that has been opened in Read-
only mode if you have made no changes or if you are willing to discard changes. To save the
Read-only file, you must use the SAVEAS command.
7. CLOSE ALL
Window menu: Close All
Command line: closeall
It closes all the open drawings. A message box is displayed for each unsaved drawing, in which
you can save any changes to the drawing before closing it.
8. QUIT
File menu: Exit
Command line: quit
It is used to exit from AutoCAD. Quits the AutoCAD if there have been no changes since the
drawing was last saved.
Toolbars and Icons

The commands in the tool bars do the work of creating new objects and editing existing ones.
The icons are grouped by action type. For example the Draw tool bar contains tools needed to
create objects and Modify tool bar contains functions that modify the existing objects. To find
out what a particular icon is meant, place the cursor on top of an icon and wait for a while, a
tool tip including short cut key will flash along with the cursor. At the same time, notice the
status bar. In place of the co-ordinates display, AutoCAD displays a brief help text narrating
the function of the command along with the command name. The icon buttons in the tool bars
display further options known as fly-outs (button with an arrow at right bottom corner), they
open dialogue boxes and issue commands that require keyboard input.

Drafting settings Tool

menu: Drafting Settings
Command line: dsettings
Drafting settings specifies the settings for a number of drafting aids to help you draw more
quickly and precisely. Drafting Settings dialogue box will be displayed which include various
tabs to make settings for Snap mode, Grid, Object snaps, polar and object snap tracking, input
and selection settings.
SNAP MODE: Controls the invisible grid that restricts the cursor movement to specified
intervals. It includes settings to specify Snap X Spacing, Snap Y Spacing, Angle, X Base, Y
Base and polar spacing and in addition Snap Type and Style.
GRID MODE: Controls the display of the dot grid that helps to visualize distances. The limits
of the grids are controlled by LIMITS command. It includes settings for Grid X Spacing and
Grid Y Spacing.
OBJECT SNAP: (OSNAP) Specifies the running object snap modes. When Object Snap mode
is on, while in the command, the specified points of the object like Endpoint, Midpoint, Centre,
Node, Quadrant, Intersection, Extension, Insertion, Perpendicular, Nearest, Tangent, etc will
be indicated at the cursor.
POLAR TRACKING: Sets the angles for polar tracking.
ORTHO: It controls the cursor movement. If ortho mode is on, the cursor movement
constrained to the horizontal - vertical directions.
In AutoCAD, its configurations can be customized using Options command and it is also
available in the dropdown menu when right clicked in the drawing area. Options dialogue box
is displayed and can make settings under different tabs; Files, Display, Open and Save, Plot
and Publish, System, User Preferences, Drafting, Selection and Profiles.

MODULE 3
BUILDING PLANNING AND DRAWING
Principles of planning
Plan of a building is the assembling or grouping of arranging of its component parts in a
systematic manner and proper order so as to form a meaningful wholesome and homogeneous
body.
Planning of building depends on its;
_ Its functional object and requirements.
_ Its component parts, their sizes and the relationship between the different rooms.
_ Shape of the plot and topography
_ Climatic conditions of the place.
_ Its location and neighbourhood
_ Type of the buildings like single storied/ multi storied or detached/ semi- detached/
row houses.
The factors or principles which govern the theory of planning are Aspects, Prospect, Privacy,
Furniture requirement, Grouping, Circulation, Sanitation, Flexibility, Elegance, Economy,
Practical consideration.
Building Bye-laws
Minimum provisions designed from National Building Code by Town Planning Authorities,
Urban Development Authorities and Municipalities. The building bye-laws and regulations
should be enforced by proper authority to achieve following objectives.
1. They prohibit and prevent haphazard and irregular growth as ribbon development and permit
disciplined and systematic growth of buildings along roads by clearly earmarking residential,
commercial, industrial areas, etc.
2. They regulate the open space around the building, window area and head rooms, thereby
creating conductive conditions for natural lighting and ventilation.
3. The standard dimensions for various structural members are specified which give strength
and long life for the building.
4. The bye-laws regulate the planning, designing and execution of building elements.
5. The bye-laws enable the inmates to easily get access to utilities as piped water supply,
electric power and connection to public sewer.
6. The growth of township is streamlined by maintaining uniform height of buildings, uniform
frontage so that the abutting road is straight, gently sloping, free from blind corners and can be
easily widened in future if required.
