How do i create an I-Beam, Grid, Ramp
Welcome to the community!
1. Use a Structural Member. The program ships with a Structural Member Catalog that has common standard sizes built into it, to make generating the associated Structural Member Style easy. The Structural Member Wizard makes creating styles for other sizes of typical shapes easy. Just about any shape can be created by manually creating one or more Structural Member Shape Definitions and then using those in a custom Structural Member Style.
2. If "Grid" means a structural column grid, use a Column Grid for relatively uniform grids or an Enhanced Custom Grid for more complex grids.
3. AutoCAD Architecture does not have a dedicated "Ramp" object, but the tool catalogs and associated source files that ship with the program include "ramp" Stair objects.
4. Mezzanine: Not sure what you want here. I would model a mezzanine just like any other floor, with a floor slab and structural member supports.
The image below is from ACA 2016, but the 2017 interface will be similar. The Structural Member Catalog can be accessed by selecting the Manage ribbon tab, left clicking on the Style & Display panel name to deploy the flyout and finally choosing the Structural Member Catalog tool.
The dimensions you posted do not quite add up correctly. I made a brief Screencast to show one way the exterior Walls could be laid out, using AutoCAD Architecture 2016. The procedure in 2017 can be exactly the same, or, for the initial placement, you could choose to use the new CReate type command option to place the Walls by defining a rectangle. I based the video on the following:
Standard Style Walls (variable width) were used, with an initial width of 9".
Overall dimensions: 226'-10" left to right; 75'-10" front to back.
Wall thicknesses (final):
- 9" at the left and right sides (yielding a clear interior dimension of 225'-4".
- 1'-1" at the front and back (yielding a clear interior dimension of 73'-8".
If your actual dimensions are different, you can still use the techniques shown to achieve the result you need.
For an initial quick study, use of the single-component, variable-width Standard Wall Style is appropriate, as you will not get bogged down in creating specific Wall Styles at a point where getting the overall width is all you need. Since the exterior dimensions were the primary givens, I used left-justified Walls drawn in a clockwise direction to place the justification line at the exterior face of Wall. That way, any later changes to the Wall width will not affect the given exterior dimensions. Later on, if you develop specific, multi-component Wall Styles for the exterior Walls, you can simply change the Wall Style of each Wall in the Properties palette to swap in the new styles, and the Left justification will hold the exterior dimensions. [Prefer drawing counterclockwise? Use Right justification.]
One quick note about using ACA "Standard" styles for any style-based object type. ACA has definitions for these embedded in the program code, and, when using a drawing not previously edited in ACA (such as one received from an outside source, done in vanilla AutoCAD), ACA will generate the Standard Style for a given object type when the "add" command for that type is executed. If you ever decide to make changes to the out-of-the-box display settings for that object type (or for Material Definitions), I would recommend creating your own "Standard" styles, under a different name (perhaps by using your company's name or initials as a prefix or suffix). That way you can apply your changes to your "company Standard" style and not have to worry that ACA will generate a Standard style that does not have those changes.
