I was adding an "L" shaped wall cabinet Casework family to my model yesterday, and was surprised to find that I did not get a stretch handle at the end of one of the legs. I was also unable to use the Align tool to adjust the extend the length of that leg to the face of a perpendicular Wall. The …

A reminder to myself (and a tip to anyone else who has not run into this yet): A View that has a revision cloud for a revision sequence that has been marked as "issued" cannot be deleted, as that would change the revision. Assuming that the revision clouds are "incidental", you have to temporarily uncheck the box in the Issued column …

First Article in the Series (Structural Member Catalog) Previous Article in the Series (Manually Created Structural Member Shapes - Fun Facts) Manually Created Structural Member Styles As we have seen in the first three articles in this series, there are a number of opportunities for having AutoCADŽ Architecture generate a Structural Member Style automatically. When you need a Structural Member Style that has a …

In a recent reply post in the Getting steel beam size thread in the Autodesk AutoCADŽ Architecture Discussion Group, Dallas asked if there was a way to automatically extract a value embedded in the name of a Structural Member Style. The specific example was if the style name were to include the shape size followed by the depth in parentheses: W16x45 …

First Article in the Series (Structural Member Catalog) Previous Article in the Series (Manually Created Structural Member Shapes) Manually Created Structural Member Shapes - Fun Facts Here are a few additional items of interest related to Structural Member Shapes that I have discovered as I was experimenting for the next main article in this series.

First Article in the Series (Structural Member Catalog) Previous Article in the Series (Structural Member Wizard) Manually Created Structural Member Shapes For those times when you want to create a Structural Member Style that does not have a standard cross-sectional shape, you will need to manually create the Structural Member Shape Definition and then add it to a Structural Member Style. If you enjoy working …

First Article in the Series (Structural Member Catalog) Structural Member Wizard Sometimes you need a Structural Member Style for a standard shape which is not in the Structural Member Catalog. Or perhaps it is early in the design process, and you have an approximate size for a steel shape, but not an exact size. Rather than pick an exact section, you would like …

AutoCADŽ Architecture provides a number of ways to create Structural Member Styles. This series of articles will take a look at the various options. Structural Member Catalog If you are trying to create a Structural Member Style for a standard steel section, or for a typical concrete or timber member, you will want to make the Structural Member Catalog your first stop. The …

I made an interesting discovery yesterday, that may explain why I have occasionally had issues with viewports where the viewport scale and the annotation scale for the viewport are different. I suppose most people are a little more laid back than I am, and tend to draw on the Model "tab" without a lot of regard for how things will end …

You may have a situation where you would like to show the same plan area more than one time on the same sheet, with the same Display Configuration, but with two different cut planes. For example, you might have a door with sidelights and transom, and you might want to show a plan view cut at the usual cut plane height, …

Many projects have floor plans that end up being too large to fit on one Sheet. Revit makes splitting a single Level onto two or more Sheets fairly easy by setting up a Dependent View for each sector of the overall floor plan. Revit even includes a Matchline tool to make it easy to designate the extents that each Dependent View …

If you have a Schedule Table column that displays real-number values that are rounded by the applied Property Data Format and you also display a total for the column, you may find that the total displayed does not equal the sum of the individual numbers displayed. This can happen because ACA uses the real-number values before the format is applied when …

It has come to my attention that my Revit Key Plans article can be hard to follow, particularly if you are not familiar with some of the concepts or procedures used. It was not intended to be a step-by-step tutorial, so I am providing this post to fill in some of the gaps and make it easier to follow along. This …

The Opening object in ACA does not have styles. So, unlike Doors, Windows and many other ACA object types, you can not control the display of Openings with overrides at the style level, nor can you attach style-based Property Sets. Given the relatively limited display components associated with Openings, not having styles may not be a problem for you. But if you …

Apparently Autodesk has decided to go back to calling them Service Packs, rather than Updates. Service Pack 1 for AutoCAD Architecture 2012 is now available - download it from here. Be certain to read the README for installation instructions. According to the README, Service Pack 1 restores the former ARRAY command functionality, in a new command called ARRAYCLASSIC. There is also a …
