CONTEXT
A developer is looking at producing a house and land package, for a site located in a developed area (see attached plans). As an engineer you are required to make minor modifications to the original design of the house in order to save costs and to make the house more saleable. The developer would like to reduce the number of bedrooms and to incorporate a parents retreat to increase the attractiveness of the property. The final drawing is to be used in the advertising of the house and land package, it should include the house plan overlaying the site. It should also include enlarged detail of the parents retreat as this one of the major features of the house.

TASK ONE
1. Starting with A3 blank (the A3 template you set up without the title block), you are required to draw the architectural plan in AutoCAD and make the following modifications (note you will be required to adjust the drawing limits of the template to allow for the drawing to be drawn 1:1): NOTE: draw the external wall of the house on a separate layer.
• Reduce the number of bedrooms to 3, incorporating a parents retreat (this is an enlarged/master bedroom), an ensuite needs to be incorporated into the design, containing a spa, shower, vanity unit, a toilet and a sink. The ensuite must have a window with an area of at least 10% of the ensuite floor area (chose one of best fit from the provided window schedule).
• The parents retreat must include a walk in wardrobe which is half the size of the ensuite.
• The entrance to the parents retreat is to be through the existing doorway for bedroom 1.
• Include the furniture supplied for your laboratory session (completed in week 3)
• Include the porch as indicated on the provided plan with the dimensions 1330mm x 1500mm

2. Fully dimension the floor plan, with room names, windows, doors and roof line. All doors and windows are to be identified with a corresponding identifier, refer to provided plan for window identifiers, and identify the doors from the provided schedule.
• Do not dimension the furniture (cupboards, toilet etc)

3. Hatch the brickwork for the external walls but not the stud thickness (see typical house external wall section for wall detail)

4. Label your plan "FLOOR PLAN" using an appropriate text size.

5. Create a window and door schedule to accompany the floor plan and a table of the ground levels.

6. Below the FLOOR PLAN, draw the front view/elevation (façade) of the house (an example is provided). The elevation should show the following:
• The ground line A', underside of fascia B', top of gutter C' (refer to the typical house external wall section for the location of points A', B' and C'), refer to the provided table for ground levels. Your floor level has an RL (reduced level - height measured in reference to sea level) of 12.60m.
• All windows and doors as per the window and door schedule provided.
• The tiled roof should be hatched appropriately.
• The small raised porch leading to the front door, as indicated on the house plan, is there to accommodate the difference in ground level to the floor levels. There should be 180mm height difference between the porch and the front door/floor level.

7. Label your front elevation as per what you did for your floor plan

TASK TWO

1. For this task you will be drawing the site/block of land for the house you drew in the previous task. Using A3 blank as your template, save as a new drawing, adjust the drawing limits so the entire site can be drawn at 1:1 scale

2. Set your units to surveyors units by using the unit's dialogue box. Select Surveyor's Units under angle, make sure the precision is 0d00'00" and chose the direction to be North. This is so you can draw your site plan using the distances and bearings shown on the plan.

3. Draw the site plan

4. Import the outline of your house. Your house outline can be imported as a block and positioned accordingly or you can copy and paste the outline from the drawing of the FLOOR PLAN after turning off all other layers first.

5. Provide general dimensions including all setbacks, multi text can be used for the bearings, by right clicking in the text editor, go to symbols and select the degree symbol (alternatively type %%d after your degrees and the symbol will automatically appear).

6. Add in a 2 x 3 metre garden shed to the rear of the property, making sure it is located clear of the easement.

7. Ensure the shed and the house are hatched and labelled appropriately

8. Ensure you include a North Point to your drawing

TASK THREE

1. Open A3 Paper and save it as a new drawing.

2. Setup a layout, set your paper size to A3 and set up your title block.

3. Create viewports such that the floor plan and site is displayed in one, the front elevation in another and the parents retreat shown at an enlarged scale (clearly labelled and dimensioned). All views should be labelled accordingly and have an accompanying scale.

4. Print to an A3 pdf file, taking into account pen assignments in your layout. Think about the colours that your layers will be printed in e.g. yellow on a white background is very difficult see. Note: both your .dwg file and pdf file are required for submission.
