Duplicating views part 2

00:01

After completing this lesson, you'll be able to understand match lines,

00:06

understand legend views and create a legend view.

00:10

The objective domains covered are 3.1 C creates legend views.

00:24

When a view is split,

00:25

a match line indicates the location where the split takes place and

00:29

allows the user to match the views when placed on sheets.

00:33

A match line is used in conjunction with dependent views.

00:37

A view reference can then be added either side of the

00:39

match line to indicate which sheet the detail is placed onto

00:44

legend. Views are used to produce a schedule of elements shown in drawings.

00:49

A typical legend may contain the following items,

00:52

annotation legend,

00:53

model symbol, legend line style legend, materials, legend, and phasing.

00:59

So typically the annotation legend will display things such as section heads,

01:03

elevation markers, symbols and many other annotation elements.

01:08

Model symbol.

01:09

Legends can be built up out of things like walls,

01:11

beams or perhaps even things like pile caps

01:16

line style.

01:16

Legends will show the line types and styles that have been used in the drawing,

01:21

the materials legend will simply show swatches

01:24

and samples of materials in section.

01:27

And finally,

01:28

the phasing will use a color representation of

01:30

construction phases to match your phasing graphical overrides.

01:36

Go ahead and open up the model 027 duplicating views. Part two.

01:42

The model opens up in the top of foundation structural plan.

01:46

You'll notice that this particular plan has two dependent views.

01:50

The Eastern Foundation plan

01:53

and the Western Foundation plan.

01:59

Our first task is to create a match line to show where the split is on the plan

02:04

to do this, select the view ribbon

02:07

and then select match line.

02:12

In this example here, I'm simply going to draw the match line down grid five

02:20

and we can then go ahead there and click finish edit mode.

02:26

So the match line is now created

02:29

to make it a little bit more prominent on the view.

02:31

I'm going to change the color and thicken up the line type

02:34

to do this. I'm going to utilize visibility graphic overrides

02:39

again on the view ribbon, select visibility graphics

02:44

in the visibility, graphic overrides dialog box.

02:47

Let's select annotation categories

02:52

and in the annotation categories.

02:54

Let's search for match line

02:58

as well. It's been able to control the visibility of match lines.

03:01

We can override the graphical properties of these elements.

03:05

Let's select override

03:08

in the line graphics dialogue,

03:10

we can change the color,

03:13

let's make this red

03:15

and we can change the line weight. I'm going to set the line weight to pen 10.

03:19

I'll click. Ok.

03:21

And ok. Again,

03:23

and we can now see our match line is much clearer on the plan

03:28

in the project browser. You'll notice that we have three drawing sheets created

03:33

here. We have S 007 which is carrying the East Foundation G A

03:39

and S 008 displaying the West Foundation G A.

03:44

Let's go ahead and open up S 007.

03:48

So you'll see here that the Eastern foundation

03:50

plan has been added to the drawing sheet.

03:53

And again, if we open up the West,

03:55

you can see the western ones being added to this sheet.

03:59

Let's return back to our foundation plan.

04:02

And now we're going to go ahead and add some view references to the match line

04:07

on the view ribbon, select view reference

04:11

on the context ribbon. You'll notice we've got a target to view.

04:16

So here I'm going to begin by making sure I place down the structural plan East,

04:22

it's automatically carrying the view number and the drawing number.

04:25

So I'll go ahead and place that here.

04:31

I'll now repeat the command

04:33

and set the structural plan to West

04:36

and now I can go ahead and place the West structural plan down.

04:42

You'll notice that the detail number on the Western plan is w

04:45

so what I'm going to do here is now edit the detail number for the Eastern plan

04:50

to do this.

04:50

We can just simply select the Eastern plan and in the properties pallet,

04:54

you'll see the detail number is currently set to number one here.

04:57

We'll type in E

04:59

and of course, our view reference automatically updates

05:05

next. We create a legend for some walls

05:08

before we create the legend. Let's open up the 00 ground floor plan

05:16

on the ground floor plan.

05:18

We'll see a core area over here and you'll notice at

05:20

the minute that all the walls appear to look the same.

05:24

If I change the detail level to a coarse level of detail,

05:28

you can now see that we have different colors being displayed.

05:32

The colors are representing the construction process of these walls.

05:36

For example, if I select one of these green walls here

05:40

and I select edit type,

05:42

you'll notice here that the coarse scale field pattern is set to

05:45

solid and the coarse scale field color is set to green.

05:50

Alternatively, if I select this block work wall here

05:53

and once again, click edit type,

05:55

you can see again here.

05:56

The call scale field pattern is set to solid and

05:60

the co scale field color is set to blue.

06:03

So our task is to now create a legend view that we can then drop onto a drawing sheet

06:09

in the project browser. Let's open up the sheet S 001 ground floor ga

06:15

And again, you can see here that we're showing the same colors on this drawing here

06:20

to create a legend view on the view ribbon select legend

06:26

here we can name the legend view. So we'll call this one wall types

06:32

and we'll leave the scale one quarter inch equals 1 ft

06:35

and select, OK?

06:38

To place the legend components, I will first select the annotate ribbon

06:44

and then I can go to the detail component, drop down and select legend component

06:50

on the options bar, I can select the family that I'd like to start displaying

06:55

as well as the view, whether it's a sectional view or in fact a plain view

07:01

and the sample length of my wall. I'm quite happy to have this at 3 ft.

07:05

So I'll begin by placing my first legend component down.

07:12

Now you'll notice straight away that the jump form wall was green on the sheet,

07:16

but in this particular view, it's gray.

07:18

That's because our detail level must match what we've

07:21

placed on the sheet in this case course.

07:27

OK. So let's continue to play some more legend components down.

07:32

So we'll go back to Legend component

07:34

and here we'll select our RC wall 10 inch,

07:39

our RC 112 inch

07:43

and also our block work wall with render.

07:49

Now to annotate these, we simply use text. So I'm going to select text

07:55

will bring out a text window

07:58

and here we can type in RC

08:01

jump formed wall.

08:06

And now once we've got one in place,

08:07

we can just simply hold the control key down to copy and then edit

08:17

cope. So we can now edit text. So this one will be block work.

08:26

And this one here was a

08:28

RC 10 inch wall

08:33

and RC 12 inch wall.

08:40

OK. So once we have our legend created, we can then open up the drawing view.

08:44

So that's our ground floor plan

08:46

and we can simply drag and drop the view from the project browser

08:50

onto the drawing.

08:52

And there is our legend view on the drawing.

08:56

You'll note that we have a Viewport title shown.

08:59

We'll select the legend

09:01

and then say no title.

09:05

And there's our drawing and legend complete.
