Creating Prefabrication Shop Drawings

00:07

PRESENTER: A lot of thinking went into this one,

00:10

not on my part but on Autodesk's part.

00:13

I have to say I'm impressed.

00:15

Once we're able to establish the precast elements for our walls,

00:18

it's time to create the sharp drawings.

00:20

The objective of this video is to create a Rebar list,

00:23

material take off in sections, and elevations all in one shot.

00:28

So under Models, let's open up our medical center.

00:32

I'm in the 06 version.

00:35

OK.

00:37

Now, I'm going to zoom into this wall here.

00:44

I'm going to select it.

00:49

Let's go to the precast panel, let's click Reinforcement.

00:57

Area reinforcement type, I want to use that Rebar two layers.

01:01

Remember, we can go back and edit that right here again.

01:05

So our number four, that's what we set for our default.

01:10

Edge reinforcement and type.

01:13

I said I wanted to use L bars.

01:17

Of course, we can edit those again.

01:19

And we set those for number four.

01:22

Let's click OK.

01:31

And it added it.

01:32

It's hard to tell that it added it,

01:33

but if you hit Escape a couple of times and hover over it,

01:37

you'll see that there's a lot of Rebar in there.

01:40

Great.

01:41

Now, let's make a sharp drawing.

01:43

Click on the sharp drawings button.

01:50

Select your wall, click Finish.

02:02

And let it happen.

02:05

Let's click on solid wall 007.

02:09

Wow, check it out.

02:12

Now, you can select one of these items.

02:14

I'm going to nudge it up a little bit by using my up

02:17

arrow.

02:17

So if we select our viewport here,

02:23

we can move it up a little bit.

02:26

Grab our Rebar lists, move that up a bit.

02:30

Grab our isometric, move it over.

02:34

But check it out.

02:35

Material take off, parts list.

02:40

So I like what I'm seeing here.

02:42

This is how we make sharp drawings out

02:44

of precast elements and reinforcement.
