A collection of starter views is included in the Template Project.
This folder contains floor plan views that have been saved with the Screened display configuration active. For consultants that use AutoCAD Architecture or MEP toolsets, simply save and send these files. For consultants using AutoCAD, change the display configuration to Plan Only and then use the SAVEAS AutoCAD command on the Application menu to save a non-AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset version of the file.
The only view in this folder simply provides a layout grid divided into a detail grid module. Draw details in this file on the detail grid. Create a new view for details at a different scale.
This folder is for interior elevations and enlarged plan views. Use the callout tools on the Callouts tab of the Tool Palettes to create such views.
Floor plan views are included here. Basic titlemarks, elevation, and section markers are included in these files. You can use these, modify them, or erase and add them again as required.
Composite Model views gather all the constructs together for visualization and/or coordination. Two are provided here, one of the entire model and another of just the shell constructs.
Reflected ceiling plan views are included here. Basic titlemarks and elevation and section markers are included in these files.
A composite Model is included in the Commercial Template Project for use in generating schedule tables. This view file is referenced directly by the schedule objects in the schedule sheet file included in the project (Sheet A601–Schedules). Reload external references and then update the schedule table periodically throughout the project to see the latest data.
These files are generated using the callout tools. They include 2D section/elevation objects of the overall building. Four elevations and 2 sections are included. As you add geometry to your constructs, you can move and resize the section and elevation lines as appropriate to capture the complete design and then refresh the sections and elevations. The constructs listed in this document are already included in the section and elevation objects’ selection set. If you add new files, you will need to regenerate the section or elevation.
