Custom Home Floor Plan CAD Design
In your last assignment you completed the hand drawn floor plan for your custom home design. In this
assignment you are required to create a completed CAD drawing of your floor plan including plan view,
front, back and side elevation drawings and 3D colour views of the completed house.
 All exterior finishing must be complete and colour coordinated for a realistic appearance.
 All interior walls and doorways/closet doors must be placed in the interior for a finished look.
 NO interior finishing is required. No finished floorings, furniture or wall colours etc. are required as
this project concentrates on the EXTERIOR of the building only.
 Your completed floor plan design will then be translated into finished working drawings that will be
printed in large scale printouts.
What You Need to Do:
1) CAD Floor Plan Drawing using SketchUp software:
Using your completed hand drawn floor plan, create the plan view of the floor plan showing the following
details:
a.) Maximum interior square footage of 2,600 square feet, not including the garage. (larger sizes will
be penalized)
b.) Foundation plan
c.) Exterior walls for main floor
d.) Attached 2 car garage with 2 man doors and large garage entry door/s
e.) Exterior wall finishes ie. brick, stone etc.
f.) Exterior windows and doors colour coordinated with exterior wall finishes
g.) Completed roof structure including soffits, fascia, dormers etc. colour coordinated with exterior
wall, window and door finishes
h.) Architectural details such as archways, pillars etc. as required for your design
i.) Interior walls and all room divisions, including closets, hallways, storage etc.
j.) Interior stairway to basement level
k.) Interior doors, indicating door swing
l.) Labeling of each room by name/purpose
m.) Include all exterior dimensions
n.) Include interior labeling of the individual room sizes & total area
o.) Make sure your finished floor plan is stored in your marking folder as “lastname_revit
_custom_home _final”
Note: Use the previous “Custom Home Research Assignment” as a reference for measures and
guidelines to assist you in completing your floor plan drawing.
2) Plan View Drawings, Elevation Drawings and Colour Renderings:
Using your completed CAD floor plan, create the following combination of construction drawings using
the templates provided with the software:
a) The plan view of the floor plan including a roofline inset view
b.) Front, back, left and right side elevation views
TDJ4M1 Floor Plan Assignment 2016
c.) Exterior 2D colour elevations of the front, back and side elevations that can be printed for use
in your model
d) All construction drawings need to be saved in standard formatting and converted to a
.pdf to be sent to the board office to have them printed as soon as your floor plan is
completed.
PLEASE READ!
This project is expected to be done IN CLASS, DURING CLASS TIME. Follow the steps
outlined and have your completed scale drawing to use as reference for drawing your CAD floor
plan drawing. You may need to supplement your class time at lunch/home as you would any
other ISU assignment. You are expected to do the bulk of the work IN CLASS and prompt
daily attendance is expected. You are expected to use class time effectively and productively
and not disturb others.
This project is very important as your Culminating Activity model is made from this floor plan
drawing. Your drawing generates the colour printouts which can be used for your model design,
so if your floor plan drawing is not done, your model will be difficult to complete. The work is to
be done by YOU! Take responsibility from the beginning to use your time wisely. This software
is available ONLY in Room 252 and I will be in the room every day at lunch (unless I have lunch
duty) should you choose to come and work productively.
Plan ahead!
Follow the floor plan!
FINISH AND HAND IN YOUR FLOOR PLAN ON TIME
so you can continue with your model!
