Challenge Exercise: Architectural ■ 245
4.
Mirror the lower stairs to the top stairwell to complete the drawing.
5.
Save and close the drawing.
Imperial Units
1.
Open the drawing you saved from the previous challenge exercise, or open I_ARCH-Challenge-
CHP03.dwg.
2.
Create geometry to represent the stairs for the building. You will create the stair in an open area of your
building and then rotate it and move it into position:
■ Begin with a single line (1).
■ Array the line to create the stairs on the left.
■ Add the vertical lines on the left and the right.
■ Mirror all the lines to create the stairs on the right.
■ Create the remaining lines using Otrack and direct distance entry.
■ Do not create the centerline, it is there for dimensional purposes only.
