dwg file, so I’m going to go look here, and I have my site survey, and it’s a. I’ll say Place External Drawing, and it allows me to choose a. Now, if you’re in the start edition, you won’t have that option, so you might have to do things like merging the drawing in, and I won’t deal with that in this lesson, but just follow along with the general principles because you can still do similar sorts of things. So, I’ll go to the File menu, External Content, Place External Drawing. I’ll just say OK, and now I’m ready to actually bring in the. If you’re working in metric, 1 to 100 will work just fine, and of course, when you’re working with very large projects, then you might have much smaller scales – 1 to 200 or 1/16” per foot or even smaller. Now, I’m going to change the scale from ¼”, which is 1 to 48 to an 1/8” because I figured the survey will fit nicely on my layout sheet at that scale. I’ll just leave that alone, but I’ll change the name here to Survey. So, if you’re in ARCHICAD 10 or possibly 11, then you would usually create a new detailed drawing to place this or possibly place it on a story below the main one so you can create additional stories in your project, but I’m going to go ahead and create a new, independent worksheet, which is without an ID. Now, if you’re in ARCHICAD 10 – I can’t remember when worksheets were introduced. So, to bring in this survey, a great way to do it starting in ARCHICAD 11 would be to create a worksheet with the survey. version, and then we’ll repeat with the metric. Now, if you’re working with the international metric version, then you will also have a site option, but you’ll need to change the layer combination to show the walls in order to coordinate the survey, and I will repeat the exercise that I’m about to do with bringing in the survey, again, with the metric version. I’ll go to the Quick Options, which is this little button in the bottom left, third from the left in the Navigation area, and I’ll switch the layer combination from floor plan to site plan, and that actually changes what is seen because layers determine which things are visible and which are not, and now we’re seeing just the walls – the exterior walls and the roofs, and it turns off the interior of the building. So, I’ll activate the floor plan here and then switch some of the settings. Now, I like to create a site plan to work on the train model. These are some variations along with structural plans, etc., that are different versions of what we’re looking at. You notice that we’ve got the floor plan, and we have a furniture plan. So, here’s the building as it stood at the end of the previous lesson. Hello, this is Eric Bobrow, and in this lesson, we’ll create a site model for the building using the Mesh tool as well as the Slab tool and add a few trees as landscaping with the Object tool.
