Penn Foster Drafting With AutoCAD Structural Drafting Project Sheets 1-7


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello, I am currently struggling through this project, I managed to get through sheet 1 but i need help with sheet 2, as the instructions given by Penn Foster are useless, difficult to understand, frankly I feel like the quality of the program has failed to match the cost. I'll upload a picture to show where I am at in the project thusfar. I am in sheet 2 and this is what I have thus far spacer.pngspacer.png

There are several posted images of Plate 2 for this particular project available for viewing in related threads.  Have you checked any of them out?  What, specifically, seems to be the problem?

I think ive seen most of the images, although i might have missed some. The most complete one i saw was blurry so I couldn't make out the details. The main issue im having (as ive seen so many others have had as well so far) is that the instructions are very vague. Would you be able to give me some feedback on my drawing? I think the one thing im missing is the drainage pipe, I know it should have these parameters: (A 4″ drain is set around the outside of the building, with 3″ clear above the footings to the drain and 3″ clear from the piers to the drain.) but im unsure of how it should look. Should it just be a straight rectangle? Parellel to the columns? On each side? or just on the side with the details? should it have a bend towards the bottom like most drains do in real life? 

 

Any feedback is welcome, thank you for taking the time to help me out on this

Currently working on this course and hope i can find future employment as a CAD drafter and maybe BIM modeller in the future.

There is only one drainage pipe and it should be round because you are looking at it head on.  It is located above and to the left of the first footing on the left.  See attached image.
