Completing the Exercise
To complete the exercise, follow the steps in this book or in the onscreen exercise. In the onscreen list of chapters and exercises, click Chapter 11: Creating Additional Drawing Objects. Click Challenge Exercise: Architectural Metric.
Metric Units
Open the drawing you saved from the previous challenge exercise, or open M_ARCH-Challenge-CHP11.dwg.
Set layers and create contours.
Thaw and set current the existing layer, Topo.
Draw smooth curved contours from node to node as shown.
Calculate the square area of the lot this fire station sits on. The lot is shown with the blue grips active in the following image.
Place a title block on the layout.
Activate the Plan View layout.
Insert the block Titleblock centered on the layout.
Add text to the title block as shown.
Add and configure two viewports.
A view of the elevation detail at a scale of 1:100.
The key plan in the upper-right corner of the title block, zoomed to fit. For each of the viewport configurations, adjust the layer display to achieve the results shown.
Create a table showing the following Room Schedule data:
NUMBER - NAME - AREA
221 - SLEEPING QUARTERS - 21 m2
201-READYROOM-36m2
202 - LOCKER ROOM - 14 m2
203 - EXERCISE ROOM - 23 m2
205 - DINING ROOM - 24 m2
206-KITCHEN-6m2
207 - MEN'S TOILET ROOM - 11 m2
208 - WOMEN'S TOILET ROOM - 14 m2
Save and close the drawing.
