Python Script

The document is a Python script that generates a structural layout in DXF format using the ezdxf library. It creates a new DXF document, establishes layers for structural components, defines dimensions, and draws columns, beams, and joists. Finally, it saves the layout to a file named 'structural_layout.dxf'.
