List of command which I have used:

OFFSET

Current settings: Erase source=No Layer=Source OFFSETGAPTYPE=0

Specify offset distance or [Through/Erase/Layer] : t

Select object to offset or [Exit/Undo] :

Specify through point or [Exit/Multiple/Undo] : m

Specify through point or [Exit/Undo] : .3

Specify through point or [Exit/Undo] : 3

Specify through point or [Exit/Undo] : 2.5

Specify through point or [Exit/Undo] : 3

Interior walls are generally not as thick as exterior walls. What type of walls are you using? Are they masonry?

I am afraid that you are having problems in using the command correctly. When you are entering "t" for option Through, you are setting up the command, not to offset a particular distance, but to tell AutoCAD that you will be showing where to offset through the centre of the cursor. That is what "through" means.

 

If you specify offset distance, then you do not get another chance to vary that distance whilst the multiple offset command is in progress.

 

 

 

Select object to offset or [Exit/Undo] :

Specify through point or [Exit/Multiple/Undo] : m

Specify through point or [Exit/Undo] : .3

Specify through point or [Exit/Undo] : 3

Specify through point or [Exit/Undo] : 2.5

Specify through point or [Exit/Undo] : 3

 

All these offsets, that you think you are setting, actually have no effect because the command is continuing to offset through the cursor point. You must be dragging the cursor to where you hope the line will be.

 

To test whether my understanding of your problem is correct, when you move the cursor for the next offset, just move it slightly to the right of the previous line, to show it the direction of the offset, and do not move it to where the line should be.

 

 

P.S. The room sizes look as if they are nominal sizes and not necessarily exact dimensions

[MemberX]

ReMark don't think of those things.I am not workking in any company or as a designer.It dosen't matter to me wheather dimension are same or not.

I just have to learn commands as soon as possible,And draw fast this is my current requirement.

[MemberX]

Yes ,I did the same way.I always make sure that cursur should in currect direction a where I have to offset.And also make sure that osnap is On.I am really irritated with this problem:x

[ReMark]

That sounds like a really smart thing to do. Draw fast and who cares about making errors. That will get you fired from a job on day one.

 

The smart CAD tech draws quickly and avoids errors.

 

There is no need to be using four decimal places in an architectural drawing. Contractors don't work to those tolerances. This is not a jet engine part you are drawing.

[MemberX]

NO I can't describe what i am doing.I have shown you a small example.Please don't make joke of that.I realy want to slove my problem.

[ReMark]

No one is joking. We're dead serious. And if you want to be good at this you'll follow our advice.

[MemberX]

YE ,please will you sujest me fasted method to finish this plan.

list of commands?

Also i wanted to know how to draw section.I have drawn section using layers with construction line.Is there any other method.

[eldon]

NO I can't describe what i am doing.I have shown you a small example.Please don't make joke of that.I realy want to sove my problem.

 

Obviously your method of working has a problem, because you are not getting the correct results.

 

Would that I could look over your shoulder. I believe I have identified your problem. AutoCAD is a thoroughly obedient moron, and will only work if you input the commands correctly.

[MemberX]

but I have to draw atleast upto one decimal .Still it shows error.

[ReMark]

eldon has kindly pointed out what he believes the problem to be. You should follow his advice.

 

Section. Draw your section cut line and indicate the direction the viewer will be facing. Then draw what you would see. In a section of a house one would see the exterior walls, any interior walls the section line passes through, the foundation, flooring, and roof.

 

Do you have a book on architectual drafting you can refer to?

[ReMark]

but I have to draw atleast upto one decimal .Still it shows error.

And that's because, as eldon has pointed out, you are using the "through" option of the offset command incorrectly.

[ReMark]

You want to know how to create architectural drawings correctly then visit this website.

Thanks Remark,I know you must be feeling irritating to solve this.Yes I understand how to draw section I can read drawingts,I was asking with refrence to Autocad commands .

I don't have any book.

[nestly]

Are you trying to use "Through" mode and "Distance" mode without re-issuing the OFFSET command?

 

I think there's just a little glitch in your procedure that you can work out fairly easily. Take a look at this video I made using your drawing... perhaps you can pick up what's different about they way you're using OFFSET

 

[ReMark]

Yes, it is slightly annoying that even after a respected, long time member (eldon) of this forum gives you his best assessment of what he thinks is the problem you, a complete novice, decide to argue the point. I don't see where you have the "cred" to do that.

 

I'm heartened to hear that you know how to draw a section.

 

What commands? Any number of commands can and will be used to draw a section including, but not limited to, line, copy, mirror, offset, move, rotate, erase, stretch, etc., etc., etc. Do you have a particular area that you are starting with? Maybe the foundation for instance?

[MemberX]

thank you nestly..... You really did great effort to explain me.But you have shown example of equal distance.In my drawing distances are varying

[MemberX]

, Do you have a particular area that you are starting with? Maybe the foundation for instance?

I start with ground for by taking offsets from plan,first boulders .2 ,than pcc.15.,than tiles .1 than floor to floor hieght 3m than pcc than tiles etc...........by using construction lines with layers.

[ReMark]

Do you have a particular question or not?

 

BTW...nestly's video was spot on.
