4. Explain the difference in dimensioning windows and doors in frame construction and in masonry construction.

In frame wall construction, windows and doors are dimensioned to their center. Nominal Door size is essentially the frame opening or frame size. For example when we refer to a 36" x 84" door or frame we are typically referring to the nominal size. When figuring for horizontal masonry dimensions including wall lengths, lengths of masonry between openings, or horizontal distance between vertical expansion joints, use the 4" modular rule and subtract 3/8" from the total

10. Explain the difference in dimensioning exterior frame walls and solid masonry walls.

The actual thickness of an exterior frame wall with ½" insulation board, ½" drywall, and ⅝" siding on a 1-½" x 3-½" framing member(stud) is 5-⅛". However, an exterior frame wall may be represented as a nominal thickness of 6 on the floor plan. A typical exterior frame wall might be 5-3/32″ For example, to create a 2 × 4 frame wall with vinyl siding, define materials to create a wall consisting of 1/2″ siding, 3/4″ rigid foam insulation, 7/16″ plywood sheathing, 3-1/2″ stud, and 1/2″ gypsum board. This produces a wall measuring 5-11/16″ thick.

There are many types of ergonomic accessories that may improve a computer workstation, including wrist rests, ergonomically designed chairs, and back supports.

The floor plan is normally started

FIRST

Briefly describe the purpose of each of the following commands. A. LINE B. POLYGON C. UNDO D. MIRROR E. CHAMFER F. ZOOM G. LEADER H. ORBIT

Leader: You can create a leader line from any point or feature in a drawing and control its appearance as you draw. Leaders can be straight line segments or smooth spline curves. The UNDO command reverses the last command. If the last command was ERASE, as an example, the objects that were deleted are restored. The POLYGON command automates the construction of a regular polygon. A regular polygon is an object with sides of equal length and equal included angles. The POLYGON command can create an object with three or more sides. A com- mon approach used in many CADD programs is to either inscribe the polygon within a circle or circumscribe it about a circle. The MIRROR command draws a mirror image of an existing object about a centerline. This command is especially useful when you are creating symmetrical objects. For example, if you draw one side of ornate scrollwork on a door, you can use the MIRROR command to refl ect the scrollwork to the other side of the door. The CHAMFER command is very similar to the FILLET command. However, instead of a curve, a straight line is placed between the chamfered lines. Just as with the FILLET command, the original lines are trimmed to meet the straight line The FILLET command is used to place fi fillets and rounds. After drawing the curve, the command trims the original objects to meet the curve perfectly. ZOOM may be the most- used display control command. Generally, it has several options that include zooming to the drawing limits or extents, dynamically zooming, and zooming to a specific magnification factor.' Line command, temporarily set the midpoint object snap, and pick the first end- point of the second line at the midpoint of the first line. ORBIT command that allows you to change the view dynamically

Which line type should be used to draw the walls of a structure in a plan view?

Object lines

Identify the material indicated by the following material symbols in a section view.

Plaster,Structural Clay,Tile,Batt Insulation,Dimensional lumber,Common brick,Cast

Explain two reasons why program customization features are important to an experienced CADD user.

Program customization includes displaying and hiding menus or toolbars, modifying menus or toolbars, creating new menus or toolbars, and writing macros, commands, or "programs" By customizing the program to suit specific needs, the drafter can become highly efficient. In addition, program customization can help a CADD manager better standardize a department's drafting procedures.

15. What is the scale of most residential floor plans?

Residential floor plans are drawn in ¼" scale. That means that ¼ of an inch = 1 foot. The notation is ¼" = 1'-‐0". Kitchens and baths are drawn in ½" scale because the spaces are smaller and more accurate detail is needed.

2. Name five reasons for usingCADD.

Saves time and money, you can always go back to your copy or revisions, productivity( allows the drafter or designer to quickly develop and communicate ideas in a precise and professional), Flexibility (Once a design is complete, a drawing can be plotted at any scale and on different media, depending on the intended use), Uniformity ( Drawings produced on a CAD system possess a high degree of uniformity regardless of who makes the drawing), Quality (CADD makes it easy to ensure consistency in line thickness and pattern scales, and eliminates both smudged lines and sloppy lettering)

List the hardware components of a typical CAD system.

Schedule, Automation Renderings, Animation
