1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
So now I want to look at some layout work.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
And in this chapter it's going to become a lot of things we've gone through which may be a bit hazy

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
or you don't quite understand why we're doing it.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,000
This chapter will probably solidify a lot of those things and you'll realize why we do it that way,

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:31,000
especially things like viewports and paper space and model space and dimension styles, that kind of

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:31,000
thing.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
So we've got our building layout.

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
If this was a rather than just one drawing, this is going to be a kind of a package of drawings.

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
We're going to have a main layout, which we've done here, and then we're going to have a drawing for

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
each room.

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
And remember, when I say drawing, I don't mean model.

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
I mean as in a drawing sheet and text and dimensions.

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Okay.

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
But what we don't want really is lots of different models.

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:05,000
And this is when people aren't using paper space and model space correctly, this is where they come

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,000
unstuck.

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Because if you are in model space and you've just scaled up your title block and put it around here

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
if you want to show.

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,000
A drawing that just shows this room.

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
You got to do another one.

21
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
You got to do a new model for every drawing.

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:26,000
And if something changes, you have to change that in every model or drawing that you do.

23
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Whereas this way, the correct way, paper, space and model space, you don't need to do that.

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
And I'll show you what I mean by that now.

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
So we have these layout tabs we have to which the default of this drawing was to have two tabs.

26
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Okay.

27
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000
To make things easier, I'm going to select this tab two, I'm going to right click and I'm going to

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
go delete and it will say it will be permanently deleted.

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Yes.

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
So you can right click and you can get a few different.

31
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Options for these, But we're going to go to rename and we're going to call this full plan Enter.

32
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Okay, Now I'm going to right click it and I'm going to go to this move or copy.

33
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000
So rather than create another tab, insert the title block, fill it in with maybe the date and the

34
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:19,000
address and all that.

35
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Again, we don't need to.

36
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
All we need to do is click on, create a copy, move to the end, click okay.

37
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
And what it's done, it's done an exact copy of that tab, but it's new.

38
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
The title block and the text are all new.

39
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:45,000
So if we if we were to change this title, for instance, to Room zero one layout and let me pull that

40
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
out there, maybe delete that.

41
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Okay.

42
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Then this one hasn't changed.

43
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:02,000
So we could have this that says full building layout.

44
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
I'll get rid of that and I'll get rid of that.

45
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,000
So we've got building one full building layout and then here and let me rename this right click, rename

46
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:23,000
room zero one here we've got a tab which is building one, room zero one layout.

47
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
But it's still showing the whole building.

48
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I'm going to delete these dimensions now and this piece of text I'm going to delete and I'm going to

49
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,000
delete these room names and this dimension.

50
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
I'm going to take this and I'm just going to move it out to the side just for now.

51
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Okay?

52
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:54,000
So we click into the tiled model space and now our pan.

53
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
So this room 101 is kind of in the center.

54
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
And this, this whole layout was a scale of 1 to 100.

55
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
So one meter.

56
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,000
On the drawing equals 100m in real life, basically, you don't really need to think about it.

57
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
It's just 1 to 100.

58
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000
The scales are down here.

59
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:20,000
I'm going to try and change this to 1 to 50 and let's see if we can get anything better.

60
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
One to 1 to 40 isn't a great scale.

61
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,000
1 to 30.

62
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
I've never used 1 to 20.

63
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Okay.

64
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:36,000
I'm going to go with this 1 to 40 just because it kind of fits nicer and I'm going to click outside.

65
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
So we've zoomed in to the room.

66
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:46,000
It does look a bit odd that we've got We've also got most of this room and there's so another thing

67
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,000
I'm going to do, I'm going to select the viewport now.

68
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
The viewport was a rectangle.

69
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
If you remember, we put the rectangle here.

70
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Following this line when I tried to click that viewport.

71
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,000
If I bring up our properties, it will tell us what we're clicking.

72
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,000
I'm actually clicking the polyline of the title block.

73
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
I want this viewport window we put on here.

74
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
We know it's there.

75
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Okay.

76
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,000
But I can't click it.

77
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
In AutoCAD.

78
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
If you imagine a lot of the time, you end up with lines on top of each other.

79
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000
And when you just click it, AutoCAD doesn't know which line you want to click.

80
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:39,000
If the lines are actually on top of each other, one line will be classed as as on top in AutoCAD view.

81
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
And when you select it, that's a line that will be selected.

82
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Now, it might not be the line that you want to be on top, but you can change that.

83
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:52,000
And the way you do that, you click on the object right click and you can go to this draw order.

84
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Okay, so I've clicked the polyline, which is part of the title block.

85
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000
I can send it to the back.

86
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
So let's say you had five objects on top of each other.

87
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000
I could just send this right to the back, or I could send it underneath another object.

88
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,000
So if there were lines crossing each other, I can select another object and bring one underneath.

89
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
In this case, I'm just going to send it to the back.

90
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
That's the easiest way.

91
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000
And now when I click again, you'll see it selects a viewport because now the viewport is sitting above

92
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,000
that line.

93
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:31,000
So if ever you, if ever you click in a line and it's selecting something else instead and you want

94
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000
the object beneath it, you can use that draw order.

95
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Here and you can bring objects up and to the back.

96
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
So now we've got our viewport selected.

97
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000
I'm going to use grips and I'm going to drag them in.

98
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:54,000
And what I want to do is just have the room that we're concerned with something like that.

99
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Much in my drawing.

100
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000
So now I've got a drawing, which is room zero one.

101
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000
I don't actually want this square shown, so I'm going to go to layer properties and you can see these

102
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
are our layers we created earlier.

103
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,000
These ones.

104
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,000
These are just part of a tower block.

105
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,000
So these came in.

106
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
When you bring in something, it brings in the layers as well.

107
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:26,000
But I'm just going to create a new layer and I'm going to call it viewport for viewport, okay?

108
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:35,000
And I'm going to turn it off and then I'm going to select this and I'm going to put it on the viewport

109
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,000
layer.

110
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Oops, like that.

111
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
And it will save a current layer will be turned off.

112
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
We don't want it as a current layer.

113
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,000
So I'm going to select this and I'm going to put it on the viewport layer, viewport layer, and it

114
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
will say that it's been moved to a frozen layer.

115
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Just to let you know, that's fine.

116
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:00,000
But now you can see what we have here is room one and I'm going to move this back in.

117
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Okay, so now we have a drawing for room one and we have a drawing for full plant and we can put dimensions

118
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,000
on here now.

119
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
But refer just to the room.

120
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Now I change.

121
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,000
I did change the dimensions of style to demonstrate something.

122
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
So let's go back to building style.

123
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,000
Okay.

124
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,000
And.

125
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,000
So now we'll put dimensions on that.

126
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Just relate to this room.

127
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Maybe something like that.

128
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
And this is a room one layout and we can save that.
