Completing the Conference Room
Finish the conference room by adding a lectern, projector screen, and cabinet. Add additional chairs and hatch the walls as shown in Figure 3-53.
Step 32. Draw the 24″ × 20″ lectern as shown in Figure 3-53.
Step 33. Set layer i-eqpm-ovhd current.
Step 34. Add the 96″ × 3″ recessed projection screen and the 24″ × 24″ ceiling-mounted projector to the plan as shown in Figure 3-53. Locating the 96″ × 3″ recessed projection screen will require use of the x, y, z-filters and the Mid Between 2 Points option of the Osnap menu. Ask your instructor to demonstrate it in class.
Step 35. Make the following new layers and draw the lines for the built-in upper and lower cabinets, as shown in Figure 3-53:

Step 36. Copy and rotate the two extra chairs in the room, as shown in Figure 3-53.
Step 37. Create the following new layer and set it as the current layer:

Step 38. Use the HATCH command to make the walls solid, as shown in Figure 3-53.
Step 39. Set layer a-anno-text current.
Step 40. Use the Single Line Text command (type DT <Enter>) to type your name, class number, and date, 6″ high in the upper-right corner (Figure 3-54).
Step 41. When you have completed Exercise 3-4 (Figure 3-54), save your work in at least two places.
Step 42. Print your drawing from the Model tab at a scale of 1/4″ = 1′-0″.
