projects start? 3 00:00:05.06 --> 00:00:07.05 They might start with a sketch, 4 00:00:07.05 --> 00:00:11.01 they might start with a scan of a floor plan, 5 00:00:11.01 --> 00:00:15.08 or they might start with DWGs that might exist. 6 00:00:15.08 --> 00:00:17.03 So what I like to do, 7 00:00:17.03 --> 00:00:20.01 is I like to go to Worksheets in the navigator, 8 00:00:20.01 --> 00:00:21.01 and I'll just right click 9 00:00:21.01 --> 00:00:23.01 and create a new independent worksheet. 10 00:00:23.01 --> 00:00:26.03 And so let's make this E-101, 11 00:00:26.03 --> 00:00:29.07 and it'll be the existing first floor plan. 12 00:00:29.07 --> 00:00:34.03 Why don't we just make it existing floor plans? 13 00:00:34.03 --> 00:00:36.03 And we'll create it. 14 00:00:36.03 --> 00:00:39.05 Now we have a blank sheet, 15 00:00:39.05 --> 00:00:43.06 and so let's bring in some information. 16 00:00:43.06 --> 00:00:46.04 So we go to File, External Content, 17 00:00:46.04 --> 00:00:49.06 and we'll place an external drawing. 18 00:00:49.06 --> 00:00:52.09 And so I'm going to place a PDF, 19 00:00:52.09 --> 00:00:55.08 so I select this PDF, 20 00:00:55.08 --> 00:01:00.09 and now I have all of these different options 21 00:01:00.09 --> 00:01:05.05 of files to be brought in from an external source, 22 00:01:05.05 --> 00:01:08.03 so PDF is one of the options, 23 00:01:08.03 --> 00:01:11.03 and I'm going to say Open. 24 00:01:11.03 --> 00:01:13.03 And so I'll place that, 25 00:01:13.03 --> 00:01:16.01 and now it came in a little bit skewed, 26 00:01:16.01 --> 00:01:22.04 so I'm going to rotate it and just grab an edge, 27 00:01:22.04 --> 00:01:27.02 and let's rotate it, 28 00:01:27.02 --> 00:01:29.09 and let's move it into place. 29 00:01:29.09 --> 00:01:34.05 So there I have, a existing condition drawing 30 00:01:34.05 --> 00:01:38.01 for a project that I've been working on, 31 00:01:38.01 --> 00:01:41.08 and let's just check one thing. 32 00:01:41.08 --> 00:01:45.07 So I'm going to work in a real scale, 33 00:01:45.07 --> 00:01:49.05 so this is four and a half feet. 34 00:01:49.05 --> 00:01:55.04 So if I push the M button, I can measure that. 35 00:01:55.04 --> 00:01:57.08 Let's see how close it comes to. 36 00:01:57.08 --> 00:02:00.04 So it looks like it's a little big. 37 00:02:00.04 --> 00:02:05.02 It actually looks like it's twice as big, 38 00:02:05.02 --> 00:02:07.09 so I'm going to change the scale. 39 00:02:07.09 --> 00:02:09.04 So I need to have it selected, 40 00:02:09.04 --> 00:02:13.09 so I'm going to go to Edit, Reshape, 41 00:02:13.09 --> 00:02:16.02 and then I'm going to go to Resize. 42 00:02:16.02 --> 00:02:20.04 So my shortcut command for that is Cmd + K, 43 00:02:20.04 --> 00:02:21.09 and so I'm going to resize it, 44 00:02:21.09 --> 00:02:24.07 and I'm going to define it graphically, 45 00:02:24.07 --> 00:02:28.05 or I can define it by percentage. 46 00:02:28.05 --> 00:02:32.08 So either way, but let's define it graphically. 47 00:02:32.08 --> 00:02:35.09 So the first point I pick is 48 00:02:35.09 --> 00:02:37.08 where I'm going to scale it from, 49 00:02:37.08 --> 00:02:41.00 and the second point I pick is 50 00:02:41.00 --> 00:02:43.05 what I'm using to scale it to. 51 00:02:43.05 --> 00:02:47.09 So if this is where I want to scale it, I'll just click, 52 00:02:47.09 --> 00:02:51.00 and now what I'll do is I'll push Tab, 53 00:02:51.00 --> 00:02:57.06 and I'll put 4.5, which is four feet six inches, 54 00:02:57.06 --> 00:03:00.07 and I'll just push Enter. 55 00:03:00.07 --> 00:03:04.02 And now I can go back down and zoom in a little bit, 56 00:03:04.02 --> 00:03:08.08 and I'll push my M button and I can measure it. 57 00:03:08.08 --> 00:03:14.02 So it looks like it's still a little big, 58 00:03:14.02 --> 00:03:16.06 but let's see how close it is. 59 00:03:16.06 --> 00:03:18.08 So it looks about right, 60 00:03:18.08 --> 00:03:22.02 and I can also look at this drawing 61 00:03:22.02 --> 00:03:25.07 and see what scale it came in. 62 00:03:25.07 --> 00:03:28.09 So it's showing a 51%. 63 00:03:28.09 --> 00:03:31.03 Let's just try 50%. 64 00:03:31.03 --> 00:03:33.00 Let's see what happens. 65 00:03:33.00 --> 00:03:34.08 And now let's measure it. 66 00:03:34.08 --> 00:03:39.02 And yeah, so that looks like it's about right. 67 00:03:39.02 --> 00:03:43.00 So now, that is the beginning of the drawing phase, 68 00:03:43.00 --> 00:03:46.02 and so what I can also do, let's just do another one. 69 00:03:46.02 --> 00:03:49.00 So I'm going to bring in some more external content 70 00:03:49.00 --> 00:03:54.00 by going to File, External Content, Place External Drawing, 71 00:03:54.00 --> 00:03:56.07 I'm going to use a DWG this time. 72 00:03:56.07 --> 00:04:01.03 And this is a DWG I created for another project, 73 00:04:01.03 --> 00:04:03.06 and I'm going to use the scale value 74 00:04:03.06 --> 00:04:05.07 of one inch to one inch, 75 00:04:05.07 --> 00:04:08.05 and let's just place this a little bit further down. 76 00:04:08.05 --> 00:04:13.07 And it's asking me for a simple shx file, 77 00:04:13.07 --> 00:04:16.09 which is not that important, so I'm just going to skip that, 78 00:04:16.09 --> 00:04:21.05 and there is a drawing that I've already created. 79 00:04:21.05 --> 00:04:25.06 And so bringing in external content, 80 00:04:25.06 --> 00:04:28.02 it keeps it as a drawing, 81 00:04:28.02 --> 00:04:31.08 and so it's not necessarily all the pieces 82 00:04:31.08 --> 00:04:35.04 that are in there, but they are all selectable. 83 00:04:35.04 --> 00:04:38.02 I can alternatively take this, 84 00:04:38.02 --> 00:04:43.00 and I can explode it and watch what that does. 85 00:04:43.00 --> 00:04:46.04 So I'm going to keep the original, 86 00:04:46.04 --> 00:04:47.08 and you have a few options. 87 00:04:47.08 --> 00:04:50.07 You can import embedded layers, 88 00:04:50.07 --> 00:04:52.09 or you can use the drawings layer. 89 00:04:52.09 --> 00:04:56.08 So I'm going to use drawing layer, I'm going to explode it, 90 00:04:56.08 --> 00:05:01.04 and then I'm going to just take the original and move it over 91 00:05:01.04 --> 00:05:03.05 so you can see it a little bit better. 92 00:05:03.05 --> 00:05:08.03 And now, you can see that there's fills and lines, 93 00:05:08.03 --> 00:05:14.00 and everything looks like it would from a DWG. 94 00:05:14.00 --> 00:05:19.00 So that is how you can bring in drawings 95 00:05:19.00 --> 00:05:21.09 and start to begin your project. 7448
