eugene233 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Anybody here know where to find a floor plan plus the elevation plan to practice drawing using autocad?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Any good architectural drafting and design book will have typical floor plans and elevations. You can also find the similar information in "How to" books at Lowe's and Home Depot (provided to are in the U.S.). Why do you ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uddfl Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 You could try eplans.com or any similar home plan source. But the best I think would be to find an old set of prints (perhaps visit an architect's office and see if they will let you borrow one, or ask the local library if they have anything).

rob Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Eugene, Why not grab a tape measure and draw up the room you are sat in? That's what I had to do on my first day at work - in fact they sent me home to do it! Still got the old drawings, all done manually - can't bring myself to throw them away. I learned enough to build a decent career on the experience. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mugshot Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 ... hey lad!!! cad is no different from manual... if you knew how to draw in manual frafting, then you can do it in cad... everything you need is just only on the icon... try to discover and learn from your own expirience....

ReMark Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The book Architectural Drafting and Design is an excellent resource. Buy a copy here: http://www.amazon.com/Architectural-Drafting-Design-Drafing-Blueprint/dp/082736749X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
