one tutorial I would appreciate is the use of doors and windows. I find getting doors and windows to show correctly with curved swings time-consuming. thanks greg
Dear Mad Tutorials thank you for your reply I have watched your video about the trace tool however I will watch it again. I also tried playing around with adding stories and that appears to be part of a solution. One more question, what is the way to fix the layouts being blank? many thanks again for your reply. greg I
You're totally welcome. I'm glad I could help. Having a blank layout could have many different reasons. The main problem that pops up in my mind is the origin point of the two layouts is different. You can check if the layouts are at the same origin, then use the trace and reference 👍
blank layouts has confused me as sometimes it all works and then it doesn’t? Also some layouts are OK and others are not. I’ll check the origin. Thanks.
Thanks, a thousand thanks ..... hours and hours trying to solve drama of blank layouts, and your comment about relocating the orign worked a treat. Amazing my confidence is returning. Sincere thanks.
Dear Mad Tutorials. I created a building, (walls slabs doors windows and roofs) at level 0.0. I had one story, level 0.0 with a height of 200. I then attempted to elevate the model to level 157.4. A box comes up with the option to undo or continue. When I clicked continue the model walls disappeared. My question is how do I elevate a model in one story? or in multiple stories?. if I want to have a model at 0.0 and raise it to say 157.4 what stories do I need to set up? thanks for any advice greg
Hi Gregory. The steps that you are doing is correct, the only problem is the horizontal cutting plane for the plan, is set to 100 or 120 by default. Honestly I don't remember exactly where you can change this option. If you want to elevate all the project at the same time, you need to rearrange the story levels and heights from the story settings.
I did explore the cutting plane but did not find a solution. I have persisted with stories and had some success. I feel the solution is to generate various stories?. Currently, I have the model on 0.0 level AND 154.7 level. My efforts are tedious and so I feel there must be a more elegant solution to elevating models. I sincerely appreciate your responding to my question. greg..... @@madtutorialsMT
Hello friend ... yes, you can do it with a "trace and reference" tool. First, go to the floor level that you want to draw, then from the navigator panel on the right, right click on the floor level that you want to see as the reference, select use as trace and reference. Enjoy!
