Understanding the Importance of Templates

00:04

The template for the plan production is very important.

00:08

We have different types of templates.

00:10

We have the plan view only, the profile view only, the plan view and profile view, and the cross-section view.

00:16

Here is a video to show you the importance of the template.

00:23

So here, I have my project.

00:25

Okay. And now, I want to deliver 2D plans because the files as a PDF is the type of delivery.

00:37

So first, I will check the settings of my template.

00:41

As you can see, there are different types of templates.

00:44

Imperial unit, metric unit, plan and profile, section views, and etcetera.

00:51

Because in plan production, we need to fit our model into a certain size of the paper,

00:59

we will need to set up, obviously, the dimension of the sheet of paper but also the scales.

01:15

Here, this is a confined environment for my profile view.

01:19

And I set up my scale 1 to 2,000.

01:23

Also, in the title block in the template, we'll be able to insert some automatic attributes,

01:31

such as project name, the date, the scale, the name of the drafter, etcetera.

01:38

And when you will create your 2D plans, you will use these templates to automatically create your plan production.

01:53

So, this is the result.

01:54

I used my model. And I used the template I just showed you in the video.

01:58

And this is the result I have where I have my plan view and my profile view.
