Tobias Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I am curious as to how people are doing detail drawings of the various membranes (i.e. air barrier, water barrier, etc.) where the relative size of the membranes is exaggerated for clarity. I've been working on it but can't quite get the "look" I want, and it is time consuming, so I am wondering if the is some obvious tips or tricks I am missing. Quote Link to comment
Bob Holtzmann Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 For a waterproof membrane or vapor barrier on a 2D detail, I usually use a .35mm or .5mm solid line or polyline, on a similarly attributed class named "Line-Thick". Classes are great for globally defining line thicknesses for 2D details. I seldom use a line thicker than .5mm. Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I have used 2 overlayed lines or polylines. Draw membrane profile and give it a black color and thickness suitable for the scale of the drawing or detail. Duplicate it in place and change the second object to white in color, select a thinner line and a dash style then group. You will have to play around with the settings to get the graphic appearance you need. It all would be much simpler with a "membrane tool". Bob Quote Link to comment
Barry_Williams Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 In VW 2011 you could draw the membrane using the wall tool with a tile fill. Make the wall thickness approx 3mm depending on the scale the detail is at and create an approriatly scaled tile fill set to rotate in walls. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 shouldn't you be using the Linear Material tool? 1 Quote Link to comment
