3. SUGGESTED STEPS FOR THE DEVELPOMENT OF THE MODEL HOUSE SERIES PROJECT

4. After reading the requirements for the assignment, andhave analyzed the drawing sample, proceed to preparea plan of action. What’s to be done first, second etc.?Do you understand the required activities ?Do you have any questions? Only when it is clear in your mind how to start drawingshould you begin.Always know what you are doing before you do it. PLAN, THINK AND KEEP AHEAD

5. The first question to answer is whether to start a Newdrawing by selecting File, New from the pull-down MenuBar or make use of your drawing Template. The Template settings were changed by you to include,many useful items such as, Grid, Snap, a StandardDimension Style, Layers, Osnap settings, Units, Limits,Text styles, Point Styles, and Line Types.By Default, minimum settings are part of a New Drawing.The choice seems obvious USE your Template.

6. OPEN YOUR TEMPLATE DRAWING AND SELECT SAVE AS FROM THE FILE PULL-DOWN MENU SAVE THE DRAWING USING YOUR INITIALS FOLLOWED BY THE NAME OF THE DRAWING i.e. FM_MODEL HOUSE

7. The Save Drawing As dialog box opens and you will save the drawing in your directory.

8. CONSIDER CHANGES THAT NEED TO BE MADE TO LAYERS OR LIMITS OR OTHER SETTINGS YOU DEEM NECESSARY. MAKE THEM NOW

9. Students can develop the views of the Model House by differentmethods.By examining the design we can see that the Model House has (7)basic parts. The larger portion of the house The roof over this part. The smaller portion The roof over this part The steps The canopy over the steps The chimney

10. LETS TAKE A VISUAL LOOK AT THE PARTS

18. Imagining the model house as individual parts makes it easier to draw. The best method for drawing is to draw as much as you can starting in the front view and then continue in the right side view

19. The lines in color represent the extent to which you are able to draw in each view. Projecting edges from both views will help complete the views.

20. Other methods are available for students to develop the views. Using Offset, Copy, and Trim may be a solution Buy requires much editing and students may become confused with the number of lines displayed.

21. DEVELOPING THE TOP VIEW

22. THE MITER LINE Miter lines are used to quickly step off distances or points from edges in one view to the miter line and then to another view to help develop that missing top or right side view.

24. Using the Trim command is a quick way to clean up the view of unwanted lines. Drawing over the lines in another color will develop the view.

26. DEVELOPING THE (6) VIEWS OF THE MODEL HOUSE Developing the other views of the model house is easy when you use the Copy and Mirror commands. FIRST MAKE A COPY OF THE FINISHED THREE VIEWS

27. SELECT COMMAND

28. SELECT OBJECTS

29. OBJECTS INDICATES SELECTED DEPRESS ENTER KEY

30. SELECT BASE POINT FOR MOVING

31. DRAG CURSOR TO POSITION

33. NEXT MIRROR THE THREE VIEWS ON THE LEFT ONE VIEW AT A TIME

36. USE OF CROSSING WINDOW

37. OBJECTS SELECTED DEPRESS ENTER KEY

40. Cursor slightly dragged downward then select left button and depress enter key

41. MIRRORED VIEW

54. USE MOVE AND POSITION THE VIEWS THE SAME DISTANCE APART

55. EDIT THE LINES WITHIN THE VIEWS THAT ARE HIDDEN AND MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO SHOW THE VIEW CORRECTLY

57. EDIT THE VIEWS SO THAT EACH IS ON ITS OWN LAYER. IF NEEDED ADD IN NEW LAYERS.

58. YOUR DRAWING NOW LOOKS LIKE THIS

59. DIMENSIONING THE THREE VIEWS

60. MAKE A COPY OF THE (3) VIEWS AND MOVE THEM TO THE RIGHT

62. SET THE LAYER CURRENT TO DIMENSIONS

63. CHECK TO SEE THAT THE OSNAP SETTINGS ARE THOSE YOU WANT TO USE

67. YOU WILL NEED TO MODIFY THE DIMENSION STYLE SETTINGS TO REFLECT THE SAMPLE DRAWING

74. TO ILLUSTRATE THE USE OF BOTH THE PULL-DOWN MENU FOR DIMENSIONING AND THE DIMENSION TOOL BAR WE WILL OPEN THE DIMENSION TOOLBAR AND PLACE IT WITHIN THE AUTOCAD GRAPHICS WINDOW

77. REMEMBER REGUARDLESS OF THE METHOD USED FOR SELECTING A COMMAND THE INFORMATION APPERS IN BOTH THE SIDE SCREEN MENU AND AT THE COMMAND LINE.

82. LETS BEGIN DIMENSIONING WE WILL START IN THE FRONT VIEW

83. MAKE SURE FUNCTION KEY F3 OSNAP AND ORTHO MODE F9 ARE ON
