Download a well-planned public building DWG with full grid layout. Learn how to interpret column-grid planning and draft similar structures in AutoCAD from scratch.
📐 1. What This Drawing Shows?
This CAD drawing shows a grid-referenced layout of a public building. You can see:
- 🔲 Gridlines (A–I & 1–10) for structural column planning
 - 🔄 Central Rotunda (circular atrium) – likely a major public space
 - ⬆️ Main Entrance with double doors and grand semi-circular steps
 - 🔃 Stairwell at the core – indicating multi-level circulation
 - 🚻 Washroom zones (with plumbing fixtures)
 - 🚪 Multiple entrances, rooms, and flow corridors
 - 📏 Precise measurements between grids (in millimeters)
 
🎓 2. Who Should Use This?
- 🏗️ Architecture Students – Learn spatial organization around grid systems
 - 🧱 Structure + Arch Collaboration Projects
 - 🕌 Temple or Cultural Center Designers – Use circular core inspiration
 - 🧮 Civil Engineers – Work with column layout + RCC detailing
 
🛠️ 3. How to Recreate in AutoCAD – Step-by-Step
- Set Up Your Drawing
 
- Units: Millimeters
 - Grid display ON
 - Layers: Walls, Grids, Stairs, Fixtures, Text, Hatch
 
- Grid Creation
 
- Use XLINE (construction line) command
 - Vertical Grid: Label as 1, 2, 3…
 - Horizontal Grid: Label as A, B, C…
 
- Walls & Openings
 
- Use PLINE or RECTANG for walls
 - Offset for wall thickness (~230 mm)
 - Insert BLOCKS or DOOR/WINDOW symbols
 
- Circular Core
 
- Use CIRCLE for center space
 - Add stairs or oculus if needed
 - Optional: Create a dome reference if planning elevation later
 
- Dimensions & Labels
 
- Use DIMLINEAR and DIMRADIUS
 - Use MTEXT for room names and area notations
 - Use hatch patterns to show different materials
 
🧠 Design Concepts to Learn
- ✅ Grid Planning: Easy for modular construction
 - ✅ Circulation Focus: All paths converge near the central space
 - ✅ Hierarchy: Entry, core, and wings designed proportionally
 - ✅ Flexibility: Modular room blocks can be reprogrammed easily
