Architecture Tutor at SketchUp & AutoCAD University - Design & Technical Training

The Tutor and Student worked on advanced AutoCAD commands for site planning, including creating property lines, pathways, and driveways. They practiced using hatch patterns, calculating areas, and utilizing the 'align' command for object placement. The session concluded with a demonstration of plot and print functionalities to create PDF documents.

The Tutor provided instruction on various AutoCAD commands, including "Join," "Reference Edit," "Group," "Select Similar," "Match Properties," and "Mid Between Two Points." The student practiced copying objects between drawings and learned about version compatibility using "Save As." The next class was scheduled for Thursday.

The student practiced converting a single-line architectural drawing into a double-line plan using AutoCAD by applying offset commands for wall thickness and using trim and fillet tools for cleanup. The session also began instruction on creating door openings, with a plan to review standard door dimensions in the next class.

The class covered the practical application of creating double-line architectural plans in AutoCAD, focusing on wall thickness, command usage for drafting, and the placement of doors and windows. The student practiced using tools like offset, fillet, extend, and trim, and learned about block insertion for doors and windows, including concepts like cross-ventilation and sill height.

The Tutor guided the Student through the process of setting up layers and drawing architectural elements like walls, doors, and windows in AutoCAD. They practiced using commands for line drawing, dimensioning, and refining shapes, and discussed the proper organization of drawing components using layers and text.

The Tutor and Student reviewed dimensioning techniques and then delved into the fundamental concept of layers in AutoCAD. They practiced creating and assigning properties to layers, including color, line weight, and line type, to organize drawing elements. The session concluded with the Student being assigned to create a simple house plan using layers in AutoCAD for the next class.
