1
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000
So now we're going to look at laying out our walkways and paths around our sites.

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
And it's going to be a simple process just using power lines and we have, oh, snap on.

3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
So we're going to be using endpoint points in sections offsetting that kind of thing.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:33,000
And you can see these tools, these offsetting and copying and moving.

5
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
But is the basics of AutoCAD really?

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,000
I like to think of also cards.

7
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
I mean, we have all these tools available, and that's what makes the software a bit intimidating to

8
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
many because you have just so many tools available to use.

9
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
And when people first look at the software, first load it to think, How am I ever going to learn all

10
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:54,000
that?

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
The truth is you don't need to at first.

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,000
I think I've also cast a bit like a mechanic would have a big chest of all these tools he's going to

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
use to fix a car or something.

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Or maybe a carpenter has all these tools to make something out of wood.

15
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000
He'll walk around with a tool belt on with all these basic tools, whether that's a hammer, screwdriver

16
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
or maybe a wrench, that kind of thing.

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
And he's going to have on a tool belt because he uses all the time.

18
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
So these tools up here that we use all the time, that's kind of like your tool belt.

19
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
But then I'll also have a cupboard full of tools for specialist things that he will use every now and

20
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,000
then.

21
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,000
And that's all these other things.

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:44,000
So the main tools tend to be used 90 percent of the time, and you can see that just working through

23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
these examples of drawing a line from a midpoint there, which is where the door will be.

24
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,000
And I'm going to offset.

25
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
I want this path to be free meats as y, so I'm going to offset 1.5.

26
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Remember where he meets us on this one, so that will give us our path.

27
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
I also want a walkway all the way round that will connect into these walkways here, so I'm going to

28
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
offset one point two point two meters, just offset up this way.

29
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And then I'm going to use this.

30
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Break Line Command, which will let you break a line at a certain point, so if I just click on this

31
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
line here.

32
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:33,000
I want to break it there, and then same with this line, I want to break it back, and now you can

33
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,000
see these are two different lines, so I can just delete these orange parts here.

34
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
I mean, I'll use trim and trim off these.

35
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Actually, I use groups on that when I get back home, I would go so these now well, kind of combine

36
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,000
into this.

37
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Yeah, and I'm going to.

38
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
Fine, I'll leave for now.

39
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Okay, so this is all curb I'm going to trim.

40
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Yeah, and truly so.

41
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:17,000
OK, I know I'll copy this path is free meter wide path and I'll put it in front of every office.

42
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000
I'm going, I'm going to do a mirror, I'm going to select all these and I can just mirror down the

43
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
center point and we have them on this side.

44
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,000
I'll trim windows, select all those.

45
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000
And trim out.

46
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000
I'm going I'm going to do it again.

47
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,000
I'm here.

48
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000
OK, and then all I want to do now is offset, let me say this is going to be point one.

49
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,000
This is just to show kind of a middle curb in there.

50
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:04,000
And this is going to be landscaped inside, OK, if lots of same cup in just sort of got this cup showing.

51
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:07,000
OK.

52
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
And.

53
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
But as I walk away, so we now have a walkway all the way around the way of paths going in, I'm going

54
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,000
to create a layer, so I'm going to call this layer, I'll call it walkway.

55
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Why not?

56
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
And I'm going to make this green.

57
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Dark green.

58
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Okay.

59
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
And now I'm going to select all those.

60
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Well, I was I'm actually going to put this on the what way like I just maybe sort of got it curve or

61
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
line, but it will do more what we're laughing now.

62
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Again, you can call these layers and color them however you wish.

63
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:52,000
It's up to you.

64
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Just just for good measure.

65
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,000
I'm actually going to break these lines just so just whatever, become part of a site, so.

66
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:18,000
That's right, and I just want to be able to differentiate what is our kind of construction and what

67
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,000
was already there, so I'll put these lines back on the original line.

68
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
OK, so this is everything in green is our new walkway and pavements.

69
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:36,000
And now all we're going to do next is add a bit of some blocks and some hatch and just to show the landscape

70
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
and that's required and create a bit of a landscaping drawing.
