Introduction
All structures are required to have a foundation. The foundation
provides a base to distribute the weight of the structure into the soil. The
weight, or load, must be evenly distributed over enough soil to prevent it from
compressing the soil. In addition to resist the load from gravity, the foundation
must resist floods, winds, and earthquakes. Where flooding is a problem, the
foundation system must be designed for the possibility that much of the
supporting soil may be washed away. The foundation must also be designed
to resist any debris that may be carried by floodwaters.
Symbols are used on floor plans to describe items that are associated
with living in the home, such as doors, windows, cabinets, and plumbing
fixtures. Other symbols are more closely related to the construction of the
home, such as electrical circuits and material sizes and spacing. One of the
most important concerns of the drafter is to carefully combine all of the
symbols, notes, and dimensions on the floor plan so the plan is uncluttered
and easily read.

122
The design of the roof must be considered before the roof plan is
drawn. The designer will consider the basic shape of the roof as the floor plan
and elevations are drawn in the preliminary design stage. This does not mean
that the designer plans the entire structural system for the roof during the
initial stages, but the general shape and type of roofing material to be used
will be planned. Often the roof can present a larger visible surface area than
the walls.
In addition to aesthetic considerations, the roof can also be used to
provide rigidity in a structure when wall areas are filled with glass. To ensure
that the roof will meet the designer’s criteria, a roof plan is usually drawn by
the drafter to provide construction information. In order to draw the roof plan,
a drafter should understand types of roof plans, various pitches, common roof
shapes, and common roof materials.
Lesson 1: Drafting Foundation Plans
This lesson is designed to help you recognize the most appropriate
design, proper locations in doing such foundation plans (footing, wall footing,
and columns) and to familiarized you to the different materials needed in
making a house or building foundations.
Technical Terms Encountered in Drafting Foundation Plans
Foundation - is the part of the building below the surface of the ground which
is sometimes called the substructure.
Footing - is an expansion at the lower end of a wall, pier or column to
distribute the load into the ground.
External Reference - is a DWG, DWF, DWFx, raster image, DNG, or PDF
file incorporated into a drawing for reference only.
Layer Filters - are settings that screen out, or filter, layers you do not want to
display in the list view pane of the Layer Properties Manager.

123
Library Path – is the path AutoCAD that searches by default to find an xref
file, including the current folder and locations set in the Options dialog box.
Limit Dimensioning - is a method of dimensioning in which the upper and
lower limits are given, instead of the specified dimension and tolerance.
Limits - are the size of the virtual drawing area in model space. They are
largest and smallest numerical values a feature can have.
Linear Parameter - creates a measurement reference between two points.
Line Conventions - are standards related to line thickness, type, and
purpose.
Line Spacing - is the vertical distance from the bottom of one line of text to
the bottom of the next line.
Line type Scale - is the lengths of dashes and spaces in line types.
Truss - is the framework, typically consisting of rafters, posts, and struts,
supporting a roof, bridge, or other structure.
Mono Truss - is a truss has only one slope as opposed two (half of a
common truss).
Hip Truss - is a truss erected to sustain the angle-rafters of a hip-roof.
Beam - is a long, sturdy piece of squared timber or metal spanning an
opening or part of a building, usually to support the roof or floor above.
Joist - is a length of timber or steel supporting part of the structure of a
building, typically arranged in parallel series to support a floor or ceiling.
Lateral Bracing - refers to any piece (wood or metal) on a bridge that help
keep the top chord from bending horizontally.
Schedule Bracing - is a structural member, such as a beam or prop, used to
reinforced a framework, such a supporting beam in a building.

124
Using CAD to Draw Foundation Plans
The six steps used to draw a foundation plan manually are similar to
the steps used when drawing with AutoCAD. Below are the sequence in
coming up a Foundation Plan based on standard but you may also innovate
some techniques which are familiar with you
1. Firstly, plan your drawing. This includes planning where the drawing will
be created and stored, the needed layers, line types, and what loads will
need to be supported. Because you do not have the same kind of
accuracy problems when working with CAD as you have with manual
drafting, the CAD floor plan may be used as an accurate basis for
drawing the foundation plan.
2. Next display the floor plan, and then begin the foundation drawing directly
over the floor plan on another layer.
3. Draw the outer side of the stem walls using the OSNAP command.
4. Freeze all floor-related information once the outline of the floor plan has
been traced.
5. Use the OFFSET command to lay out the thickness of the stem walls and
footings. Corners can be adjusted by using the FILLET or TRIM
command.
6. Change the lines representing the footings using the CHANGE
PROPERTIES command. By following the step-by step instructions for a
particular foundation type, the plan can be completed.
7. Use the dimensions used on the floor or framing plan. Show the existing
dimensions so that they are displayed on the foundation drawing, or use
the COPY command to place the needed dimension in the drawing. Use
a layer such as BASE DIM for placing dimensions required by the floor
and foundation plans.
8. Place any dimensions that were not placed on previous plan views as
needed on the foundation plan. This will include the locations of openings
in the stem wall for any doors into the garage, foundation supports, and
braced wall anchor locations. Openings in the exterior envelope that will
be above a wood floor system do not need to be located on the
foundation plan.

125
9. Type general notes and store them as a WBLOCK to be reused on future
foundation plans. Many drafters also store lists of local notes required for
a particular type of foundation as a WBLOCK and insert them into a
drawing. Once inserted into the foundation plan, the notes can be moved
to the desired position.
10. Store the foundation plan when completed separately from the floor plan
to make plotting easier. Storing the foundation plan with the floor and
framing plan will save disk space, and proper use of layering can ease
plotting. All foundation walls, bearing footings, and support beams will be
in their correct locations.
Suggested Activity 1
Directions: Based on your acquired knowledge and skills in the preparation
of computer-aided drawings. Draft the following structural details below, by
selecting the appropriate CAD tools/commands.

126
Directions: Using CAD, select the appropriate tools/commands in creating
the typical column and footing details. As shown in the drawing below label
each details following the sequence for drawing structural plan using
AutoCAD.
Note: Consider the measurements according to the column and footing specified.
Layers and colors must conform to the standards.

127
Directions: Using CAD, draft and complete the foundation plan below by
using the appropriate tools/commands.

128
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT: Lesson 1
Directions. Using CAD, perform the following problems below using the
appropriate tools/commands.
1. Draw a foundation plan from a sample floor plan provided by your
teacher. Indicate complete dimensions, notations, and the required
standard specifications of a foundation plan.
2. Draw separate plans for wall footing, column, and footing details
you present in your foundation plan.
3. Use appropriate scale dimensions suitable to your drawings.
4. Refer to your floor plan to determine the dimensions and position of
load-bearing walls. Review your previous exercises and lecture
notes for your guidance to complete information.
5. After finishing your drawing, submit a printed output of your to your
instructor for evaluation.
Lesson 2: Drafting Structural Floor and Roof Framing Plans
Floor Plan - is the top cross-sectional view of the floor area of a house.
Floor Framing Plan - the plan that is drawn of the roof area used to show the
shape of the roof.
Roof Framing Plan – is the plan that is drawn of the roof area used to show
the shape of the roof.

129
Green roof – is a roof system consisting of some type of vegetation growing
in soil, planted over a waterproof membrane.
Cool roof – is a roof that features highly reflective materials. It can be
something as simple as finishing the roof by painting it with a coating of light-
colored water sealant.
Ridge – is the horizontal intersection between two or more roof planes and
represents the highest point of a roof.
Drafting Structural Floor Plans
The foundation plan shows not only the concrete footings and walls but
also the members that are used to form the floor system. Two common types
of floor systems are used in residential construction: floor systems built at
grade level and floor systems with a crawl space or basement below the floor
system. Both on-grade foundations and crawl space floor systems have their
own components and information that must be put on a foundation plan.
The final CAD drawing is printed, plotted, or published within a
selected sheet size at a specific scale. Most often, sheet size and drawing
scale are known standards, set according to drawing and office practices.
CAD offers significant flexibility when laying out a floor plan according to
sheet and scale requirements. Commands and options are available that
allow you to easily adjust the drawing to accommodate a specific sheet size
and drawing scale.
Traditional manual drafting setup tasks such as selecting drawing
orientation and identifying the working and drawing areas are not as critical
when using CAD. A CAD drawing can be rotated as needed to properly orient
the view on the sheet. If necessary, a north arrow symbol is inserted and
rotated to the exact north direction.
As with manual drafting, the working area of a CAD drawing is relative
to the sheet size. However, CAD allows you to select a different sheet size if
the plot does not fit within the working area.
Alternatively, if appropriate, you can easily modify the drawing scale to
fit the plot on the original sheet. Care in centering the drawing on the sheet is
not as important with CAD, because the drawing can be moved at any time.
Most CAD applications use a virtual drawing area that is infinite in size. This

130
allows you to draw a floor plan at actual size, or full scale, and then scale the
drawing to fit a specific sheet for plotting.
When using this system, you can focus on the floor plan layout, without
having to concentrate on scaling objects. CAD has transformed the traditional
process of setting up and laying out a drawing, by offering significant
flexibility. Still, effective layout planning and preparation is critical.
Determine the proper drawing orientation, sheet size, working area,
scale, and drawing area before you begin drawing to increase productivity
and limit costly and time-consuming mistakes.
Sequence for Drawing Structural Floor Plan in AutoCAD
Check off the features used with this floor plan drawing checklist and
drawing sequence in AutoCAD. Note that each of these items are not
required but rather guide in ensuring all the standard features of a floor plan is
observable.
 Exterior walls.
 Interior walls.
 Furring over concrete walls (if used).
 Masonry veneer (if used).
 Doors: Proper use of exterior doors; correct door
 Swing direction; clearance from walls, cabinets, and traffic.
 Door sizes or symbols for door schedule key.
 Windows: Proper symbols; clearance from walls, cabinets, and traffic.
 Window sizes or symbols for window schedule key.
 Skylights located and specified.
 Base cabinets.

131
 Upper cabinets.
 Closets and storage: Closets and wardrobes labelled and with shelf
and pole or additional shelves and drawers, storage closet, linen with
shelves, pantry with shelves, special storage features noted.
 Appliances: Cooktop/range, hood with vent or vent, oven, double
oven, microwave, refrigerator, lazy Susan, washer and dryer with vent,
trash compactor.
 Utilities: Furnace, air conditioner, water heater with platform and
straps.
Floor Framing Plans
Framing plans for each floor are drawn using the floor plan as a base.
The floor plan layers that contain the walls, windows, doors, cabinets, and
plumbing fixtures should be displayed, with all other floor information frozen.
With the proper material displayed, complete the framing plan in the same
order that was used with manual methods.
1. Layers can be added to contain materials for the framing plan. Each
new layer is given the prefix of UPPR FRAM, MAIN FRAM, or LOWR
FRAM to make it easy to identify required layers for plotting.
2. Sub-names for ANNO, DIMN, TRUSS, LATR, and BEAM layers must
also be added.
3. Complete the drawing by adding major framing members first, and
then working toward smaller members. Place beams that will be
required to support joists or trusses, and then place a marker to
represent each joist type. The joist markers can be stored as a block,
and then inserted and stretched to the needed size.
4. Lateral bracing information can be added to the drawing using blocks.
Schedules for one-level and multilevel construction bracing can be
created, and the appropriate schedule can be inserted into the
drawing.

132
5. Symbols to represent each type of bracing can also be created as
blocks and inserted into the required position throughout the drawing.
Because the upper level materials are different from the lower braces,
lateral symbols should be placed on layers that are level specific. This
allows the lower floor lateral information to be displayed on the
foundation plan without repeating the schedule. This requires the
creation of layers such as UPPR FRAM LAT SYMB, MAIN FRAM LAT
SYMB, or LOWR FRAM LAT SYMB.
6. Symbol information should be placed on a different layer than the
lateral schedule. With the framing and lateral information represented,
place dimensions to represent all walls, openings, and framing
materials.
7. Dimension layers should be divided by level; some dimensions such as
the overall and major jogs will be the same on all levels. This
information can be placed on a layer titled BASE DIMS.
8. Wall-to-wall, and wall-to-opening dimensions should be placed on a
layer that is specific to each level of the structure such as MAIN
FRAME EXT DIMS.
9. Annotation can now be placed to locate all framing materials.
10.Notes should also be placed on layers that are level-specific. Local
notes should be divided by layers to represent title block text and text
that is level-specific.

133
Directions: Below is a sample illustration of a typical floor slab detail. From
your finished foundation plan, draft a floor slab detail, use the given slab
schedule using the appropriate CAD tools/commands.
Drafting Roof Framing Plans
The roof framing plan can be created using the roof or floor plan as a
base drawing. Upper and lower framing plans are created using the floor
plans for the starting points. Two major methods are available to create these
drawings. Information can be added to the base drawings and controlled by
layers, or information can be added to a separate drawing and referenced to
the original. If the roof plan is to be controlled by layers, it is important to
remember that the base floor plan is plotted at a scale of 1/4" = 1'−0" and the
roof framing plan is usually plotted at a much smaller scale. Because you are

134
drawing in model space, you are working at full size, but you will need to
adjust the line scale and the text scale factors for the appropriate scale on the
roof framing plan.
One alternative in creating a roof plan is to place the needed roofing
materials using the floor plan as a base. This method can be especially
helpful on a complicated stick-frame roof. If the floor plan is used as a base
for a roof framing plan, show all of the walls printed in matted lines using
grayscale, and show all roofing materials using black lines.
Layer Method of Drafting Roof Framing Plans
1. Once the layout method is selected, add layers to contain materials
for the roof plan. For this example, the drawing will be controlled
using layers within the base drawing.
2. Give each new layer the prefix of ROOF FRAM to make it easy to
identify required layers for plotting.
3. Add sub-names for ANNO, DIMS, TRUSS, and BEAM. Complete
the drawing by working from the roof down to the foundation, and
by adding major framing members first, and then working toward
smaller members.
4. Draw standard trusses first in the center section of the roof, and
then the hip trusses are represented.
5. Finally, draw trusses are drawn at each edge. With all materials
represented, dimensions should be placed to locate material
limitations, beam locations, and overhang sizes.
6. Provide notation to specify each material and framing member size
that has been represented.
Drafting Roof Framing Plans using CAD
A roof framing plan can be drawn using a CAD program following
procedures similar to those used for a manual drawing. The drawing can be
created in the file containing the floor plan.
1. Start by freezing all floor plan material except the exterior walls,
furniture, and skylights.
2. Create layers to contain the roof plan using the ROOF prefix. Layer
names such as ROOF WALL, ROOF LINE, ROOF OUTL, ROOF
ANNO, ROOF DIMN, or layer names based on the NCS should be

135
used to keep the roof information separate from the floor plan
information and to ease plotting.
3. Draw the outline of the residence on the ROOF WALL layer by tracing
the outline of the walls on the floor plan, and then freeze the walls of
the floor plan.
4. Complete the plan using the appropriate step-by-step process for the
required roof type. Using the OFFSET command, the lines that
represent the walls can be placed to represent the roof outline.
5. Use the PROPERTIES command to assign the lines to the appropriate
layer, and to assign the required line weight and line type.
6. When the roof plan is completed, a copy can be saved as a BLOCK
with a title ROOF.
Directions: Select the appropriate CAD tools/commands in drafting the
structural roof framing plan of the given floor plan below. Layout your
proposal and have it approved by your teacher before you start drawing.
