Before drawing, let’s ensure your units are correct.
If you want to continue setting up your project, let me know: Your desired The number of floors or levels The specific wall material types needed I can customize the next steps for your project workflow.

This becomes your most-used tool. When you select an architectural object, this palette allows you to change its style, dimensions, and constraints in real-time. Tool Palettes:
Tutorial 1 is designed for new users transitioning from standard AutoCAD or beginners in architectural CAD. It covers the , the Project Navigator , and the creation of intelligent AEC objects (walls, doors, windows) instead of basic lines and polylines. By the end, the user creates a simple 2D floor plan with elevation potential. | Feature | AutoCAD 2014 (Basic) | AutoCAD
Those flat lines are now standing up. The walls have height (8 feet). The door is a 3D block with a swing. The window is a recessed glass pane. You have just created a 3D model by drawing a 2D floor plan. This is the core efficiency of AutoCAD Architecture 2014.
Congratulations on completing . You are no longer a line-drawer; you are a building modeler.
