About this ebook
The AutoCAD for Interior Design and Space Planning by James Kirkpatrick, Beverly Kirkpatrick, and Hossein Assadipour covers foundational to advanced computer-aided drafting (CAD) techniques specifically tailored for interior architecture. [1, 2]
The book is structurally divided into logical parts that transition from basic user interface navigation to full 2D commercial/residential design documentation and special presentation techniques: [1, 2]
Part I: Preparing to Draw with AutoCAD
  • Chapter 1: Introducing the AutoCAD User Interface – Covers the workspace setup, ribbon menus, dialog boxes, command line, palettes, and tooltips. [1, 2]
Part II: Two-Dimensional AutoCAD
  • Chapter 2: Quick-Start Tutorials – Introduces basic architectural settings and foundational drafting commands.
  • Chapter 3: Drawing with AutoCAD: Conference and Lecture Rooms – Practical application of drawing commands to construct common commercial seating and assembly layouts.
  • Chapter 4: Adding Text and Tables to the Drawing – Covers annotating plans, adjusting font styles, and creating schedules (such as finish or door schedules).
  • Chapter 5: Advanced Plotting – Deep dive into layouts, paper space vs. model space, managing multiple viewports, configuring plot styles, and exporting to PDF.
  • Chapter 6: Drawing the Floor Plan: Walls, Doors, and Windows – Architectural space planning techniques for designing structural components.
  • Chapter 7: Dimensioning and Area Calculations – Applying industry-standard dimensions to floor plans and measuring square footage for space allocation.
  • Chapter 8: Drawing Elevations, Sections, and Details – Transitioning from horizontal floor plans to vertical projections, interior wall elevations, construction sections, and millwork details.
  • Chapter 9: Drawing the Furniture Installation Plan – Specifying furnishings, furniture layout planning, and extracting technical data.
  • Chapter 10: DesignCenter, Dynamic Blocks, and External References – Utilizing AutoCAD DesignCenter to reuse architectural components, working with smart/dynamic blocks, and managing referenced external files (Xrefs).
  • Chapter 11: Drawing the Reflected Ceiling Plan (RCP) and Voice/Data/Power Plan – Designing overhead ceiling fixtures, lighting layouts, electrical outlets, and telecommunication connection plans.
  • Chapter 12: Creating Presentations with Layouts and Making a Sheet Set – Structuring an ordered construction document package utilizing the Sheet Set Manager.
  • Chapter 13: Isometric Drawing and Gradient Hatch Rendering – Simulating 3D depth using 2D isometric drafting alongside color gradients for client design presentations. [1, 2, 3]
