Unspecified dims

I have drawn the outer wall and started wondering what the distance of the off-hang would be, as well as the wall thickness? I'm guessing about 1' for the over-hang? It does not specify unless I'm overlooking it.

Also, the edges don't have dims either... am I suppose to just guess, or are there certain ways to figure it out?

Thanks for any help.

And your question is in reference to what? Is there supposed to be an image attached to the above thread?

Holding a ruler up to the screen, it scales 1'. Go for it.

This is a nice exercise, that if you have the Polar tracking at 45°, is very easy.

yes, via tinypic. I think I remember you saying your company blocks certain sites like that...

i'm going to give that a try. The hardest part is judging the distances.

Thanks!

Don't worry about getting the distances correct. Just draw the lines to any length in the right direction, and then use Fillet (with zero radius) or Trim to clean up afterwards.

How does this look?

Door schedules don't belong on roof layouts. Looks fine.

I couldn't even tell you what a door schedule is. I am assuming a list of needed doors, but that is what the prof told me to do. Combine that table with that drawing, so i did.

You assume correctly on the purpose of a door schedule.

Do what your prof says, of course, but ReMark is correct about the placement of a door schedule. I suppose the lesson requires learning to make a table regardless of what's in it. Prof should have at least mentioned what a door schedule is and where one should really be placed.

In the real world, a set of working drawings for a reasonably complicated high end custom house or any type of commercial building would have at least one full page, probably two or more, exclusively dedicated to schedules listing the doors, windows, floor finishes, plumbing fixtures, paint etc., etc.

Then again, for your average mass builder tickytacky suburban sprawl type middle class house, all that stuff is on a "Selection Sheet" filled out by the purchaser and the salesman. There is no need to include the information on the drawings. In fact it would over complicate things, since from 1 to 30 or more of the same type house will be built pretty much all at once, from copies of the same house.dwg file.

You asked up top there somewhere, how thick the walls should be, and how wide the overhang. If they are wood framed 2x4 stud walls they should be drawn at approximately 4" thick. If they are 2x6 walls, then they are approximately 6" thick. The roof overhang can be estimated since it appears to be twice the wall thickness, and it looks like you nailed it.

Are you studying architecture, or some other type of drawing class?

yeah it's first lesson with tables.

It's an engineering and design degree plan. i decided to start a semester early in may over the summer rather than fall.

Have you completed a foundation plan for this house?

Have you created a typical wall section?

nope. We do random little objects that we draw out of the books. This is the fist thing I've dawn that has to do with a house.

How do you know so much about architectural formats, I thought you were a pipe guy, Mark? Haha

Random little objects? Sounds like ah, er, um, a rather unusual way to teach a course. Must be one of those free-form classes.

Summer course huh? My daughter took summer courses last year to get an early start on her Art History degree. The courses are very compressed in order to complete them in about 1/3 the time.

Maybe the Prof is just trying to get you all up to speed with the feel of the software and some of the basic functions before hitting on something with a standard presentation layout, like a three view w/iso of a sanding block.

Good luck with the degree.

I think she's just teaching us the basics like tables and lines and circles etc. I only have her for two courses.
