1 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,000 So now we can begin to actually look at the project that we're going to create in this course. 2 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000 And this is an architectural AutoCAD course. 3 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,000 So we are going to be creating a building layout. 4 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000 And in your resources folder you should have something called building survey. 5 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:35,000 Now we have got a version in millimeters and a version in feet, so you can choose which you'd prefer. 6 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:37,000 Um. 7 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000 If you if you're unsure of how the difference is and how to do that. 8 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000 We did go over those in the units chapter, so you might want to watch that again if you're still unsure. 9 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:57,000 But if you're pretty much there with it, 80%, the rest will just come naturally by following along 10 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000 with this course. 11 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:07,000 Okay, so most of my demonstration will be using this millimeters one I don't want to be to keep swapping 12 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,000 over and saying every day mentioning two different things. 13 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000 It's just going to get confusing and long winded and boring. 14 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,000 So I'm going to go ahead and start creating this building using the millimeters shown here. 15 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000 But if you're using feet and inches and you're more comfortable with feet and inches, just do exactly 16 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000 the same as I do. 17 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,000 But set your drawing up as we did in the units chapter in feet and inches and just use these dimensions. 18 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:41,000 So so here, for instance, whereas I'll be drawing a line at 6000mm, you would just type in 19ft ten 19 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000 inches. 20 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:42,000 Okay. 21 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,000 So apart from the actual unit itself, everything else is going to be exactly the same. 22 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000 So it's up to you which one you use. 23 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000 They're both included in the resource folder. 24 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000 And there we go. 25 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:56,000 So. 26 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,000 What is this? 27 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Well, we're going to pretend that a surveyor has gone out to site, measured up this building, brought 28 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000 back the dimensions, and we're going to draw it up. 29 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Okay, So this is a typical thing you would do if you was in an architectural company. 30 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000 Maybe it was refurbishing this building interior design. 31 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000 Maybe you need to do a layout for it. 32 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Decorations. 33 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Real estate, state agents. 34 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000 Maybe measuring it up to rent out the office. 35 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Whatever the situation, we're going to pretend we've got this marked up drawing with all dimensions 36 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:35,000 on. 37 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000 But I've come from site and we're going to draw it up in CAD. 38 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000 Now, looking at this, I can tell you one thing. 39 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:52,000 This is a car technician's dream to get a markup like this. 40 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000 For one thing, it's obviously already in CAD, but we'll forget that for a minute. 41 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Usually things like this would come to you on a bit of screwed up paper. 42 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000 The dimensions would be scribbled on. 43 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000 You won't be able to read them. 44 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000 There will be coffee stains on it. 45 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,000 The surveyors dinner will be on it. 46 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000 All sorts. 47 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,000 So yeah, you probably won't be given something as good as this. 48 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000 But for the purpose of this course, we're going to follow along with these markups and these dimensions. 49 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000 So what have we got? 50 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Okay, well, all the dimensions obviously are these. 51 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000 Numbers with the arrows. 52 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:33,000 The building layout, it's so it's 20m by 10m or 66ft by 33ft. 53 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000 And these thick gray walls are the external walls here. 54 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000 Okay. 55 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000 Inside we've got a number of rooms separated by these internal walls. 56 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000 We've got doors. 57 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000 We've got our main entrance with a double door here. 58 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:54,000 We've got windows around the building and we've got some blocks in the form of lights. 59 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000 These are strip lights in the building. 60 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000 So we're going to show all this. 61 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000 We're going to mark it up and you're going to create recreate this in AutoCAD. 62 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000 And after this course, you'll be able to do this over and over. 63 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000 So you'll be able to get some measurements of a building, either measure it yourself or get them from 64 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,000 someone else and you'll be able to churn out this kind of floor layouts. 65 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000 No problem. 66 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Later on, we're going to put it on a title block. 67 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Use a viewport, a view from paper space to model space. 68 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000 Put our own dimensions on maybe some notes and get it to a point where you could print it out and give 69 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000 it to someone as a completed floor layout. 70 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000 Okay, so. 71 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000 This course is going to teach you everything you need to know to do that, which will. 72 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000 The same principle will go ahead for any 2D layout. 73 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,000 This this is a fairly simple building as buildings go, but it would be exactly the same process if 74 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:50,000 there was numerous rooms and and you were doing numerous floors, maybe five floors. 75 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000 All the same, it'd be the same process, just more of it. 76 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Okay, So let's get started. 77 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000 In the next chapter, we're going to look at setting out those external walls and getting our drawing 78 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000 going.
