We are now going to focus on how we can reference design sketches and other formats within FormIt.
00:09
This will be based on the project information that we've already brought into the environment.
00:16
We're now going to import a 3D image,
00:20
which is a DWG of a particular building footprint.
00:26
We can now use this as a reference point for the proportion of the different rooms to the building.
00:35
As well, we can import a JPEG file image off the actual elevation of the building.
00:44
As you can see, the scale is not correct.
00:48
This can be modified.
00:52
But first, we're going to import the rest of the images to create a three dimensional mass.
01:01
By rescaling and re-orientating the image, you can right click and select Rotate.
01:10
What we're doing now is we're identifying a reference point,
01:15
within the image that we want to rotate the image around the axis of 90 degrees.
01:22
What we can now do is identify the image,
01:25
within the vertical plane to then help us scale the image down based on building footprint.
01:34
So, we're now going to select the reference point of the building footprint and the image is then associated to that.
01:43
We're then going to scale that from the reference point that we placed,
01:49
and then we're going to place the other point onto the point that needs to be reduced to the building footprint.
01:59
This will then bring the scale of the image down and to act as a reference point for creating our geometry.

It is now time to start bringing in design content which can help speed up your design process. This will include importing a DWG for the building footprint and managing the sketch images. Handling the scale these images will be useful when combining multiple files types to reference a building form mass.
Before
After
Steps:
3. Open file ‘01 Part 3_B’.
a. Select File > Import > Import 3D Model > ‘01 Part 3-Building Footprint.dwg’
b. Place the DWG near the origin of the world axes (X, Y & Z).
c. Select File > Import > Import Image > ‘Sketch East View.jpg’
d. Scale the image by Right-Clicking and access the Contextual menu for adjusting the scale of the image
e. Import all images
2. Modify elevation images of the building sketch design
a. This can be done by selecting the reference point and selecting the arrows for increasing or decreasing the image size.
b. Rotate the image by accessing the Contextual menu to rotate in the horizontal and vertical direction.
c. Move the images to overlay your DWG building footprint to the building scope.
d. Click Save
Summary
The activity focused on locating the building footprint as the reference point to then base the other sketch images. This included how to manage the content from various file types and scales within a single environment. Further best practice will be included later on within this tutorial.
