Architecture Presentation Elevations and Sections

Architectural Elevations on Presentation Border

Presentation Elevations

Description

The purpose of this assignment is to use AutoCAD to complete an architecture presentation site plan and floor plan. You will use external references, model space, and paper space to construct the presentation layouts.

Objectives/Outcomes and Assessment Criteria

  • Demonstrate an understanding of AutoCAD through the generation of an architecturally-related drawing assignment.

  • Print a PDF file of the drawing.

  • Demonstrate craftsmanship as manifest through precision of the drawing.

  • Document completed assignments in a digital format and archive those digital artifacts in MIro and Google Drive.

General Instructions to begin the drawing

Make sure you have applied these customization settings before starting this drawing.

1. Create a new drawing. Select the acad.dwt template (depending on your settings, you may not see the file extension). Then click Open.

2. Save the file as firstinitiallastname Presentation Elevations and Section.dwg (depending on your settings, you may not see the file extension).

Note that you will compose the presentation site plan and the presentation floor plan with this drawing file.

3. Format the units.

4. Set the Object Snaps (OSNAPS) as needed.

5. Watch the step-by-step tutorial to successfully compose the presentation elevations and building section.

7. You now have a composed the Presentation DWG file

8. Watch the step-by-step tutorial to successfully print all the presentation files.

These are the PDF filenames to use:

FirstInitialLastName Presentation Plans-Site Plan.pdf

FirstInitialLastName Presentation Plans-Floor Plan.pdf

FirstInitialLastName Presentation Elevations and Section-Elevations.pdf

FirstInitialLastName Presentation Elevations and Section-Section.pdf

9. Save and close your AutoCAD drawing file.

10. Upload all files to your Google Drive for evaluation. Upload the PDF files to the Miro board for evaluation.

11. If you have any questions, email your instructor.
