Autocad - Understanding Plan & Assessment

There was an assessment for 2 weeks AutoCAD study.




2 weeks study covered basic commands with simple options, with which, we could refer to a beginner.

Before we go through the assessment, there was some time to read "FireBug" plans and draw it in AutoCAD and I found it quite interesting. What I was focusing on at the time was how to recreate it in AutoCAD, what commands I need thing.

But, to me, it was all about understanding, decoding the plans, not the CAD thing. Plans were not kind enough, so it seemed that many essential information were missing but it didn't. All the information we need were in those plans,,in the same page or another.

Then,,Why?

Designer and plans regard you as a pro, as a pro, you must be able to combine all the information in different places and sometimes, speculate it.

We didn't think about that at the beginning of class, almost all of us simply check the what's seen directly and started drawing. But soon after it, most of us should get back to plans, check the measures with a rule and talk about how we could get missing information. And this took quite a time and was a great practice, and for assessment.

Since we've gone through "reading plan", So this time, everyone was focusing on gathering information we need instead of rushing to workstation. After we got all we need, we started drawing.

And this time, we became the one who let other people to read the plan, we should be kind enough to keep all the information needed in the plan - All the dimensions.

Below is my final output.
