blimey Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 we put the demo on a separate layer ad gray them. or we give the a gray fill and gray pen... When we want to emphatise them we do the contrary. We have them thick and project in gray... Quote Link to comment
Travis Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Is color an option? I know it doesn't repro using traditional methods, but it's been a key communication tool for us for some time. Otherwise, LiMei's suggestion is nearly identical to our "old" method. By the way, we use the beam PIO to create beams and then draw a dashed line on top. Group (or create symbol) the two together. This way the beam appears, accurately, in both 3D and 2D. Good luck, Quote Link to comment
Gary C Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Anyone have a good suggestion on how to represent a beam over head vs. items to be demo. We use dashed lines to represent demo walls, beams, etc and we also use just a little bigger dashed lines to represent beams. This is confusing to our field personel. Also if you you dashed lines for beams and do a 3d cut the beam won't show up. Any designers have a suggestion? Quote Link to comment
jan15 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 A beam overhead is often represented on a plan by a thick centerline -- alternate long and short dashes, but much heavier than you would use for a column grid line. Quote Link to comment
Ramon PG Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I too use dashed lines for demo in Demo dgws and for overhead in Arch. I would suggest a Demo Reflected Ceiling for maximum clarity. I think it is simpler to leave Demo stuff in the same layer as new and turn on and off by class. Graying the demo beam sound good. Quote Link to comment
