Sure. Where would you like to start? Are we doing this in 2D or 3D? What dimensions are you working with for the tower? Do you have a plot plan for the site the tower will be situated on? What steel shapes will you be using for the tower? What specifications are you drawing to? Will the drawing be done in imperial or metric units? Who will be doing the engineering calculations? The BTS tower holds the antenna. Will we also be designing the shed that houses the BTS itself? Will an interior layout of the shed be required showing the equipment? If so, who will be specifying the equipment to be installed? Are you a student? Is this a class project? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor.

Everyone who uses AutoCAD was a beginner at some point. Have you tried an Internet search for BTS tower drawings? You would want something that you could immediately open in AutoCAD with no trouble. The two best file formats would be DWG and DXF. My questions make you confused? They were asked for good reason. If you have no knowledge of what you are drawing/designing it's all just lines and circles then. What made you pick a BTS tower in the first place? Why not, as a beginner, draw something you are familiar with and that you might see nearly every day and be able to touch and measure? Wouldn't that make more sense? I am guessing from your questions that you had no intention of doing this tower in 3D. What skills do you possess in manual drafting? Are you familiar with orthographic projection? I could point you to a site where you could download a ready made drawing but if you do not do it yourself then you really won't learn anything about the tower itself or about AutoCAD. Have you drawn anything at all using AutoCAD? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |
