AutoCAD - Trim and Offset

I made these two designs on AutoCAD using a worksheet

What Are Dimensions?

Dimesnsions provide two things:
Size and Location

Generel Drawing Rules

If you have an arc: use radial dimensions (> 180)
If you have a circle: use diameter dimensions

Display only the number of decimal places required for manufacturing precicion

Today i worked on AutoCAD learning how to offset and trim squares into different looking shapes.

Case Study Report - Football Stadium Architecture

Football Stadium Design

My case study is on designing a new football stadium in Chicago, Illinois. In the picture above it shows a design on the bleachers of the stadium. There are many attributes to add to the bleachers, including: steel rod, steel beam, steel rib, steel support and the steel tube. For the stadium you need to consider things like, parking, cost, and how many people it will fit. The most important thing is to plan ahead before starting the project. This project is expected to be done by 2013.

This is what the stadium looks like now but will get renovated to something more bigger and better.

Steel has a big role in this project because all the bleachers and stands will be supported by steel. Over 100 million dollars will be spent on this project for Chicago's new stadium.

Angles of Projection

First-Angle of projection

-Used by many European countries

-Objects is projected onto planes from the first angle or quadrant

Third-Angle of projection
-Standard for the United States
-Third quadrant is used for projection

All the views and features must be aligned

Choosing Views

Most Common Views
-Front view
-Top view
-Right Side view

Cylindrical objects requires only 2 views

Object Dimensions

Overal dimensions include: Depth, Width(length) and Height+

Architectural Drafting Equipment

Mechanical Pencils are not used anymore

Automatic Pencils - lead advances as button or tip is pushed

Dividers - Used to transfer dimensions or divide distances

Templates - A plastic sheet that contains standard symbols for tracing

Scales - Metric (Meter m) (Millimeter mm) is the most common
Imperial (Feet f) (Inches in)

Chapter 3
Drafting Media and Reproduction Methods

Sheet sizes recommended by ANSI
A - 8/12 x 11 or 11 x 8 1/2
B - 17 x 12
C - 22 x 17
D - 34 x 22
E - 44 x 34
F - 40 x 28
