AEC132 Final Project AutoCAD Architectural Plans For your final project, you must complete a set of design documents in AutoCAD of a small commercial office building. The distinction between residential and commercial is that a residential structure is a home while a commercial structure is used for "business" purposes. A great example of a small, commercial office building is a fast-food restaurant. Your building must be at least as large as the typical size of a McDonalds (approximately 4,000 square feet). Your building does not have to be exactly 4,000 SF; I am simply using this example for a point of reference related to building size. Please review the attached sample plan sets provided in the respective Course Module. You may replicate one of these samples for your final project submission. Note: If you are replicating one of the sample plans, you MUST redraw it on your own. DO NOT export and/or copy PDF to CAD. At a minimum, you should include all the standards and methods which were included in the Exercises of your Residential Design Using AutoCAD textbook. This includes drawing standards for symbols, dimensions, layers, etc. Your final project must include the following elements completed in AutoCAD: 1. 60pts Architectural Floor Plan: Reference Chapter 4 - a. Walls (25 pts) b. Doors & Windows (10 pts) d. Kitchen and Bathroom Fixture "Blocks" (5 pts) e. Room Names & Labels (5 pts) f. Dimensions (15 pts) 2. 30pts - Front and Right Exterior Elevations: Reference Chapter 5 a. Orthographic Projection Accuracy (15 pts) • Walls & Roof (10pts) Windows & Doors (5pts) b. Hatching (5 pts) c. Labels & Dimensions (10 pts) 3. 10pts Construction Documents: Reference Chapters 9 & 10 a. Viewports & Sheet Setup (5 pts) Set up sheets manually, do not use Sheet Sets!!! Use ArchD titleblock, 24x36 sheet size Set Viewports to “standard” scale, either 1/4”=1'-0" or 1/8"=1'-0" b. Sheet Names & Numbers (2 pts) c. Plot to PDF (3 pts) Lineweights & Plot Style Please include all above drawings in DWG file(s). Your grade will be based on the thoroughness of information shown in the drawing files and the layers, standards, and methods used in your CAD file. Create PDF files for your printed sheets. SUBMIT BOTH DWG AND PDF FILES. DO NOT use xrefs or Sheet Sets for your Final Project! DO NOT export PDFs to CAD! Revised 5/22/2023
