1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Right.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
So we've we've already created our building layout.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Now we've got our model and we've put it on the correct layers.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,000
So we've got some CAD standards going on there and that's it really, in terms of this beginner's course

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:30,000
and creating your architectural model, you should have all the necessary skills to create a building

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,000
layout to scale to the correct size and using whatever dimensions, whether that's imperial or metric.

7
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
You know, how to create blocks, you know how to hatch, you know how to then put those objects on

8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
a layer, create a layer, specify a color, that kind of thing.

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:54,000
So what we have now here is a good CAD model, and this is better than I see from people who have been

10
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
using CAD for a long time.

11
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
People don't use layers.

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
People put everything on layer zero.

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
They don't have all the different colors without using by layer as much.

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
It's some drawings are a complete mess.

15
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,000
And if you can just follow these simple rules, even if you were creating a building many times this

16
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
size, just follow those simple rules and you'll be creating good CAD files.

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
So.

18
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
We're going to move forward now and turn this from a model.

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
We're going to create a drawing from it.

20
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
So what we have here in model space, the actual building, all draw an actual size.

21
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
This is what would be known as a model.

22
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Okay.

23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
And that's kind of a different differentiation between a model and a drawing.

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
A drawing is what you print out and give to someone.

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
It's it's to scale.

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
It has the text, the dimensions, that kind of thing.

27
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,000
This is a model.

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
This is your building to actual size.

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
And you could do various things with this.

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,000
And you'll see when we get on to the kind of different viewport stuff, how powerful this can be and

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
why you would use paper space and model space.

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
So let's go into the layout tab.

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
AutoCAD defaults with two layout tabs.

34
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Don't worry about just use layout one.

35
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Okay.

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000
You'll see.

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Our background has turned into the white background showing that we're in paper space and we have a

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,000
window, a viewport window here that you can click on and it's just a generic one that you get when

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
you start AutoCAD.

40
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Okay, So we're going to we're going to bring in a title block and we're going to change this.

41
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
The first thing I want to do is turn our grid off.

42
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Now, we've been working away quite happily with this grayed out grid in my background.

43
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
It doesn't really get in the way.

44
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
It's of no use really to us, but it doesn't really get him away.

45
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
But it does tend to get in the way when you got your white background in paper space.

46
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:57,000
So I'm going to turn it off, but I need to turn it off in model space.

47
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
But I can do that via paper space.

48
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
And I know that sounded really complicated, but let me show you what I mean.

49
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
I can double click inside the viewport.

50
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
And I could now select parts of a model.

51
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,000
I could delete things.

52
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,000
I can edit this model.

53
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
I haven't got in.

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
In model space, I'm still in my layout tab.

55
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000
I'm in paper space, but I'm actually working on my model.

56
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
And that's because we're in something here called tiled model space.

57
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,000
And all that means is we're looking through the viewport window into model space while still being in

58
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
paper space.

59
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Okay.

60
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:35,000
It's, um.

61
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
It probably did sound complicated.

62
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Don't worry about it.

63
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Just remember, there's paper space.

64
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Which is this where you.

65
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
You can't select them because we're in paper space.

66
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,000
There's model space where everything's actual size and you can't even see your paper.

67
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,000
But there is this tiled model space which allows you to go between the two.

68
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Okay.

69
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:04,000
And it will become obvious why you need that later on when we start doing different drawings.

70
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:12,000
But for now what I want to do is just double click into it and turn off the grid by selecting that and

71
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000
then double click to get out of it.

72
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Just double click off to the side.

73
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Okay, Because it is annoying that grid is annoying when you're in paper space.

74
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
So we're going to bring in a title block.

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
And what I want you to do is go to open.

76
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Okay.

77
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,000
And in your resources folder, you should have this error form three D, which is kind of a standard

78
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:35,000
title block.

79
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
There's one in inches and then another one is in millimeters.

80
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Okay, So I'm keep with the same whatever you've been working in, I'm working in millimeters on this

81
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:43,000
drawing.

82
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
I'm going to open the millimeters title block.

83
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
And this is kind of a standard title block just a generic one as an example.

84
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,000
But you'll see this is why you can have multiple tabs because we have an A01 and these are different

85
00:04:59,000 --> 00:04:59,000
sizes.

86
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:05,000
We have a, a one, a two, a three, and then a four vertical and horizontal.

87
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
And these are all in their own tabs.

88
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,000
So what I'm going to do is go to this A4 horizontal, okay?

89
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
And I'm going to draw a wind around everything.

90
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000
To select it all.

91
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:25,000
And I'm going to go to the the copy, but not this copy the clipboard copy to copy it to my clipboard.

92
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000
And then I'm going to go to our building layout and make sure I'm in model space.

93
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I'm going to pull this down and say paste to original coordinates.

94
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Okay.

95
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000
And it looks like nothing's happened, but if I double click my middle wheel to zoom extents, there

96
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,000
we go.

97
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
We have a title block in our paper space.

98
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Now, this kind of generic

99
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
viewport that is on the AutoCAD default, we can use the grips.

100
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Now I'm just going to click that corner and I'm going to I'm going to put it in that corner there.

101
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
And then this corner I'm going to put into the.

102
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:13,000
So I've added it to our viewport, but nothing's there because we haven't we haven't actually moved

103
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
to the drawing yet.

104
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,000
So by double clicking inside it, okay, I'm going to get our drawing back in the center of the screen,

105
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,000
back in the center of a window, I'm going to double click my middle wheel, which will zoom extents

106
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
and now I can specify an actual scale.

107
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000
So let's try 1 to 100 and that looks perfect.

108
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,000
So I'm just going to use a middle wheel pan to get that centered and I'm going to click double click

109
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,000
out here to go to put us back into paper space.

110
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:52,000
So you can see this is the reason we have this extra tailed model space here.

111
00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:05,000
We have our our model here we have paper space, but without a model space, there's no way of seeing

112
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
how they look together, if that makes sense.

113
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,000
We can edit our title block here.

114
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
We can move our title block.

115
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Okay, We can move that where we want, but.

116
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000
We don't want to be moving things in model space to try and get them into the right place in paper space.

117
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:28,000
All we need to do is double click inside and we can use this kind of viewing method tiled model space

118
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,000
to get things looking right.

119
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
So that's why you have that there.

120
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Now one thing people think when they see this, my white paper is wrong.

121
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Something's gone wrong here.

122
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Nothing's wrong, as we've said in the core module.

123
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:48,000
All that's happened is until you print for the first time, AutoCAD doesn't know what size this needs

124
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,000
to be.

125
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000
So I'm going to go to print and I'm going to select.

126
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
A pdf any of the PDFs will do.

127
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
You might not have the same as me depending what Adobe software you've got, but you should have an

128
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
AutoCAD pdf.

129
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Okay.

130
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
It doesn't really matter paper size.

131
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Well, I used an A4 landscape title block.

132
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
So I'm going to select A4 size.

133
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,000
What to plot?

134
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,000
I want to plot.

135
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Well, in this case, we only have one thing on the drawing on this sheet, we have that title block.

136
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
So I'm going to go extents which will print the extents.

137
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I'm just going to scale it to fit just.

138
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
You can see it's pretty much 1 to 1.

139
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:43,000
In fact, I'm going to go to extents I'm going to center the plot and I'm going to I want it printing

140
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
1 to 1 actual size.

141
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Okay.

142
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
And this gives you a little preview of that just to show you that it's going to fit.

143
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,000
We want it landscape.

144
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Everything else will leave as it is.

145
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
And if I press okay, it's going to print.

146
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,000
I don't want to print.

147
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
I just want to apply those settings.

148
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
So I'll click apply to layout.

149
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000
And now what will happen if I cancel that?

150
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000
You can see it's lined up nicely now in our white space and on our paper and that's looking good.

151
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:15,000
So now we have a title block in here and we have our drawing and we could move this about to get it

152
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
to the right position.

153
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
And once we've got it right, we can left click out here.

154
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
And now when we pan, we pan the whole thing.

155
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Okay, so all we need to do now is double click on these.

156
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Call it whatever you want.

157
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Okay.

158
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
If you need more space, you can drag that along.

159
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:38,000
It's just.

160
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
So you can edit this how you want.

161
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
You can put your initials in the date revision.

162
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000
You can give it a draw number if you need to, but that's how you would do your title block.

163
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Okay.

164
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,000
In the next chapter, we're going to look at adding some actual text to show what this is and mark it

165
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:52,000
up.
