Hi all,
I'm not a designer or CAD guy by trade, but I find myself working in Vectorworks doing basic layouts for conventions and exhibits. This involves placing imported CAD objects, providing basic measurements for under-carpet electrical pulls and simple isometric renderings.
The first thing I do is draw the floor of our exhibit space. A 50' x 50' space for example. I then overlay horizontal and vertical lines to make a grid of 10' squares that are printable and show up in both 2D and 3D views.
Is there a cool, programatic way to do this or is just drawing a 2D rectangle, duplicating an array of horizontal and vertical lines, grouping them and then extruding it 1" the easiest way to go?
