Views

The types of views we need for this project will be similar to the first project that we created. We will just need more views and we will need to be diligent with our organization.

The types of views will be as follows:

  • Floor plans—1/8" scale and 1/4" scale

  • Ceiling plans—1/8" scale and 1/4" scale

  • Exterior elevations and interior elevations

  • Building and wall sections

  • Stair plans, stair sections, and details

  • Ceiling details

  • Roof details

  • Exterior plan details

  • Exterior section details

  • Casework details

Creating layers

You will need to create the following layers to help build the layer combinations needed for our view types. These new layers use a convention designed to designate the drawing scale:

  • A-ANNO-CLNG-048

  • A-ANNO-CLNG-DETL

  • A-ANNO-NOTE-024

  • A-ANNO-NOTE-048

  • A-ANNO-NOTE-192

  • A-DIMS-048

  • A-DIMS-192

Renaming layers

Some of the layers should be renamed in order to conform to the new convention used in the new layers you created:

  • Rename A-ANNO-CEIL to A-ANNO-CLNG-096

  • Rename A-ANNO-ENLG to A-ANNO...
