1 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000 OK, so we have a layout finished here again. 2 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000 Feel free to change it out as much or as little as you want. 3 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000 You probably want to get some road markings here. 4 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000 Maybe some signage you could draw in as blocks put them in, like all that kind of thing. 5 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,000 But you know, let's do that. 6 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,000 We've been over that. 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000 What we're going to do now is we're going to explore using some excerpts. 8 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000 Now, you may or may not need to be doing this at this stage, you might be happy just with this indicative 9 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,000 kind of rectangle showing where the offices are, but what we're going to do, we're going to bring 10 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000 the layouts. 11 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000 For whatever reason, you might want to show the ground floor layouts so you can see the external doors, 12 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000 what kind of thing you might want to show the roof plan just so you can see how it looks. 13 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000 Regardless, we're going to do it more as an example of how chefs are used. 14 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:10,000 So first thing I want to do, I want to go back to our world coordinate system, OK, and I'm going 15 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000 to click just so we're back in this world kind of coordinate view. 16 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000 And now I'm going to look at first bringing in the ground floor plan that we created. 17 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000 So I'm going to go up here to insert. 18 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000 And under reference, I'm going to go to attach. 19 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000 I'm going to pull this down, you can attach all sorts of different files. 20 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,000 I'm going to touch a drawing. 21 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:43,000 OK, so if you navigate to your project folder and go to your ground floor layout drawing that we have. 22 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,000 OK. 23 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000 It's in the resources section. 24 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000 If you go to that and click open. 25 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000 But it's going to bring this in as an external reference. 26 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,000 Now. 27 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000 I'm going to explain something here. 28 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:06,000 When we created our floor plans, we drew those in millimeters, so one unit equals one millimetre. 29 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,000 You know, a site layout we draw on in meters, one unit equals a meter. 30 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000 So really, we want our when we bring in our site plans, we want them to be scaled down by a thousand. 31 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000 Now, if we were doing that normally as a block or something, we'd bring it in and we'd scale it down 32 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000 by 0.001, which would be scaled down by a thousand when you attach an extra. 33 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:38,000 If you can actually have the option, it all because our units are set up correctly, is detected that 34 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000 the unit is millimeters. 35 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,000 And you can say it's got it's telling us it will factor that and it will scale it down by point zero 36 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,000 zero one. 37 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000 So because we sell the units correctly in both joints, it's already also kind of intelligent enough 38 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,000 to know that. 39 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000 So we don't need to change, we can bring this thing with a scale of one and we can let it do its thing 40 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000 with this hair set correctly. 41 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,000 If it hadn't been set up correctly, you would have to say, OK, I'm going to uniform scale as 5.00 42 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,000 one. 43 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000 But if we do that now, it's going to scale it twice because it's already doing it here. 44 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000 It will do it again, so we'll leave that set to one insertion point. 45 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Now, because it's a different scale, we can't we didn't draw it to actual coordinates. 46 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:37,000 If you were inserting something as an external reference, let's say another company doing the landscaping 47 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000 and sent it to us as a file and it was done in the correct coordinates. 48 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000 We could just take that and just bring it in. 49 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000 And because it was both both drones were doing the correct coordinates to a scale, it would come in 50 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000 in the right place. 51 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000 And so a lot of times you will do that because everyone's working to the correct coordinates. 52 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000 And it's a good way of checking, making sure things come in at the right place. 53 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:04,000 But in this case, we created it was just a floor plan, so it was just to its own coordinates, girl, 54 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:10,000 so we can have to insert on screen where it is going and then you have rotation. 55 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Rather than try and work out what rotations can be, we're just going to select on screen, OK, and 56 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000 we're going to have this as an attachment. 57 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:28,000 I'm going to click OK, and you'll see now our building comes in so we can see where our 00. was in 58 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:28,000 the building. 59 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 It was just where the crosses here. 60 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Now what I'm going to do, I'm just going to put it there. 61 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000 I'm going to vote for and I'm just going to put it there for now. 62 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000 And then I'm going to. 63 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Move it news in this corner of the actual building. 64 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Onto the aisle, then rotate it again, using that as a base point. 65 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:59,000 But now, instead of president return, I'm going to I'm going to click on reference and the reference 66 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,000 will be, I want. 67 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000 But corner to corner. 68 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000 So actually based on that angle. 69 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000 And now we have this external reference in our drawing. 70 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000 So if I now go down here. 71 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000 And you'll see this little is like a it looks like a paperclip and a piece of paper I icon, if I click 72 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,000 on this, we get the extra manager. 73 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Extra effort is just a shortened way of saying external references are both the same thing. 74 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000 So we get our extra effort manager. 75 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000 The first thing you have is your actual drawing. 76 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000 You are in office part ground floor site. 77 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000 It just comes up at the top. 78 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:44,000 Lots of drawer open telling you all the drawing files in this file and. 79 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000 The first one is always itself. 80 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Now, the second one here, this is an external reference and it's our ground floor site, so we can 81 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:03,000 see now what is actually happening is if we were to load this drawing up, if we were to close it down 82 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:12,000 and then load it up again, it would load up this this giant office park greenfield site layout and 83 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000 then it would look for another file, which is a ground floor, and it would load factor in the background. 84 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000 So that is the main difference with an extra and a block with an extra. 85 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:31,000 If we haven't inserted this fall out into this drawing in terms of all the geometry, we've just told 86 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,000 it. 87 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,000 Load this file. 88 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:40,000 And show it, display it on top, so none of that geometry, none of the file size of this is added 89 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000 to the current file. 90 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:52,000 And you could have if this file of his office park greenfield site layout was only, let's say it was 91 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000 one megabyte file size and this office park layout was 10 megabytes. 92 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,000 If you inserted this office part into your drawing, the whole drawing would become 11 megabytes because 93 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,000 it would be 10 from the floor plan and one megabyte of site layout. 94 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,000 So 11 megabytes in total worth of information with an extra F if you inserted it as an extra. 95 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,000 If this file would still only be one megabyte because it's not, the information is only being loaded 96 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000 and displayed on top. 97 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,000 It's not being inserted and it remains separate files and is a key difference with external references. 98 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Now what I can do just as a demonstration if I write this and go to open. 99 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000 OK, I'm just going to move it so I can actually open the file. 100 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Let me close out so I can open the file, and this is the original file here. 101 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000 And if I was to now, for whatever reason, someone came along says, I want a big circle in the middle 102 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,000 and I want to delete all the internal while I want this internal wall and all the action. 103 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:58,000 OK. 104 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Now, don't do this if you follow in love, because you might ruin your film, I'm just going to. 105 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Safer. 106 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,000 OK. 107 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,000 And if I go back here now, a little message pops up and it says an extra effort was modified. 108 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,000 Reload it. 109 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000 And if I could really load. 110 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,000 What's going to happen? 111 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:27,000 Also, Cut is going to reload with the changes, and it takes you into this extra compare. 112 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:34,000 This is now if this doesn't happen on your auto card, this coming in one of the recent ones, it might 113 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000 have been 2020 or 2021. 114 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000 What it used to do and what it might have done on yours is it just reloads and it shows a new layout 115 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000 and not set this extra off. 116 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000 Compare, it says, because obviously, if you haven't been told what changed, you wouldn't know. 117 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,000 And so we used to off to hunt for and find out what actually what it's doing. 118 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:02,000 It's highlighted in red the wall that was deleted and it's put this yellow box around the circle that 119 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:02,000 was added. 120 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000 So it's highlighting what has changed, and you can just accept that it's just kind of a display. 121 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:16,000 But now you can see it just reloaded a file and that's updated to show the latest layout. 122 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000 Well, I remember I am going to undo, undo, undo. 123 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000 And I go back and I'm going to click Save, OK? 124 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000 And again it all and again, my reload. 125 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,000 And it's the opposite, so the circle has been deleted, it's in red and the wall has been added, it's 126 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:38,000 in green. 127 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:41,000 And there you go, so. 128 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:49,000 But that demonstrates the power of extra office, if you imagine the landscaping was done by an external 129 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,000 landscaping company. 130 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000 That would come in as an extra if we're loading. 131 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,000 And then he did some changes he found, as I'm just about to email, you revision to. 132 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000 We've made some changes. 133 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000 OK, all we need to do is save up over the top of our old file. 134 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:13,000 I'm next time you open a jar or if you've got to open, it will say reload and you reload and it will 135 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000 put in all that changes because it's an external reference. 136 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,000 So X refs have two benefits two main benefits. 137 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000 One is that any change is done automatically. 138 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,000 The second is it reduces a fire overall file size a huge site layouts can be split into many different 139 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000 items. 140 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,000 OK?
