Description
So we’ve already created our shell and modeled our critical systems; now what? Time to add details and use sections to keep track of the minute internals that are easily overlooked. A section lets architects create vertical slices of a complex system to view through surrounding structures. This class will walk through the workflows involving section and elevation views that can be used to improve productivity and reduce errors in building design. We’ll create section and elevation views, and then progress to a live preview of the modifications we make. We’ll then introduce subdivisions to our sections to add visual depth or zoom out as needed. We’ll use the Styles Editor to update our sections and elevations graphically based on set rules. We’ll also learn how to automatically update section/elevation views automatically on drawing open. Finally, we’ll add chutzpah to our drawing with materials, and see how we can automatically apply fill patterns to our designs.
Key Learnings
- Learn how to create a building section of a 3D model
- Learn how to create interior and exterior elevations
- Learn how to create subdivisions in the sections to add visual depth
- Learn how to update Section and Elevation views upon drawing open
