OK, so now we've got our two floor levels, we're going to look at doing an elevation now and elevations.
It's one of those things you probably asked, do you never really get any info on it other than a few
heights?
And generally the best way I find at least to get something to start with is just to use the planes
and just using lines of the planes.
You can usually come up with something fairly at least good enough to give back to an architect and
say up things like that.
All you need really is the sill heights of a Windows eight floor height.
OK, so we're going to use some.
We'll just use some generic levels, and it's just a guide of how you can use of planes and kind of
sit down from the planes to create your elevation.
So we'll have a look now.
First, one of them, as I said, I don't like starting with blunt joins.
Generally, that's not how people work.
You often drawing like this.
OK, we're going to be using the same types of block.
We're probably going to be using the same dimension styles, that kind of thing.
So why start from scratch enough to load it all in just open the drawing similar to what you're going
to create and save us?
So I've saved this as building zero elevation.
Oh, one.
And this was actually the first floor.
OK.
So if you do that, then you should have a drawer and ready to go called elevation one.
And what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go to model space and you can see we have our first floor
plan here.
Now I'm going to open and I'm going to select the ground floor plan and opening up.
I'm going to go to model space and I'm going to select this whole ground floor plan and my news copy,
not this copy here.
Remember that we're using a clipboard copy.
I'm going to copy that go back to our elevation drawing.
I'm going to paste this block, OK?
And what Block will do is, Brian, it's created a block now.
We're not bothered about the name or anything like that.
The only benefit really of doing that for us and it is a benefit is it's one object now.
So if we want to select this and move it around, we don't need to make sure we select everything and
maybe we wouldn't miss a wall and it would mess the whole thing up because its pace of the block is
what object is really easy to deal with.
OK, so this one is still separate items.
I do this a lot when I'm drawing.
If I just want an object to easily be movable, you can group them and group will do that.
But I find it easier really to just go, OK, if I wanna do this, just give it up.
I'm going to go cut.
I'm going to cut that.
No, it's gone, and I'm going to paste it back in as a block.
And now it's just one object.
Again, it's pretty much what group will do.
I just like to do it this way because it means I can go and I can change it if I want by double clicking
on it and it'll still be a block.
Sorry.
OK, but again, my personal preference is just my workflow from working on stuff for years.
So I'm just going to draw a line with turn off and I'm just getting them lined up.
OK, so now the walls are in the same plane, so these are in line with each of a ground floor plan.
Well, maybe I'm going to move it, OK?
So it doesn't matter where abouts work in terms of the origin.
We're not using coordinates or anything, I'm just going to create some kind of elevation here and I'm
going to draw one line and this line is going to be the ground.
So that's a ground plug.
So that's just going to be a big line like that to represent the ground.
And now what you can do.
You can create some lines like this, and I'm going to go copper.
So I've drawn a straight line of all over the poly line and I'm going to go copper, right click use
that as a base point, so I'll going to my overall.
I'm going to put it on either side of the window.
OK.
And you see, because the windows in my first floor match as well.
Those lines will line up.
So now the architects told us that each floor is two and a half meters.
In fact, let's go free meters.
OK, so I'm going to offset slightly offset here.
I'm going to type in three thousand 3000 millimeters, which is three meters.
So that will be our ground floor first floor.
And now to do some trimming, so I'm going to select trim.
I'm just going to draw a window.
Remember, if you draw it, if you draw a window that way, it will only select objects you fully enclose
and not fully enclose them if you draw it this way.
It's anything you touch.
OK, so I'm going to let all the right click.
I'm going, I'm going to window slot outside of up to give me my bill.
And so this is already the basic layout of the face of our building.
Now these windows, we need to know the slides.
So free meter, let's say it's
twelve hundred from the ground.
I mean, the window is one meter.
Well.
OK.
And what I can do now, I can copy those because we measured it from a space point, I can copy those
two lines using a ground line as a base point and put it onto this separation.
This is this line is kind of a separation between first and ground floor.
And so we'll end up with the same measurement that if we measure the distance, that's twelve hundred
and we can do the same 100 because we copied it using the same base point.
If that's if that's confusing, you can just offset again the same dimensions twelve hundred and one
metre from this midline.
But now we can do the same with you before we can trim still a big window around there, not the outside
this time.
And we could start just creating these big window selections along the lines we want to trim out.
Well, what they end up with.
It's a very close, it's all windows.
OK, and now we can actually get rid of that line, we don't need that line anymore.
I'm going to get rid of a mouse.
So we've already got a face of our building there pretty quickly needs a bit more detail.
But then we'll go, let's try and come up with some kind of roof design now.
So I'm going to draw a line.
I'm going to go straight.
Straight along, just like that, and I'm going to rotate that line of thought as a base point and try
to degrade.
Yeah.
So first degree pitch on that roof.
And it will have some kind of overhang, maybe 500.
Again, this is not an architectural course that's kind of detailed as we're going to go really well,
maybe put some kind of soft on.
But if there's any kind of architects or roof is laughing at this moment is a cut costs on architectural
costs.
OK, so now I'm going to marry that from a midpoint here.
I'm a builder isn't symmetrical because windows were positioned kind of a midpoint to these rooms,
we've got to pick a different gap even here, so don't use the windows to get the midpoint I want.
I'm going to offset.
I'm over three meters.
See what this looks like?
Yeah, and I'm going to trim out.
I'm going to be given all this stuff from the architect.
And let's off set, let's go with three hundred some kind of soft detail.
OK.
Just to fill it on the right is row.
And trim that out just gives us a more realistic detail.
So fill it.
Trim and no.
