Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:02.09
- So here we are at the beginning of the project,
2
00:00:02.09 --> 00:00:05.02
our surveyors provided us a
3
00:00:05.02 --> 00:00:08.05
DWG of the survey of the property,
4
00:00:08.05 --> 00:00:10.03
or the owner
5
00:00:10.03 --> 00:00:13.05
has provided us a PDF of their building
6
00:00:13.05 --> 00:00:16.04
and we need to get that into
7
00:00:16.04 --> 00:00:19.01
a three dimensional kind of space,
8
00:00:19.01 --> 00:00:22.08
we are going to talk about the virtual trace.
9
00:00:22.08 --> 00:00:25.03
So if you go up to window,
10
00:00:25.03 --> 00:00:27.04
and you go to
11
00:00:27.04 --> 00:00:28.05
palettes,
12
00:00:28.05 --> 00:00:30.06
and then you go to
13
00:00:30.06 --> 00:00:31.06
Trace
14
00:00:31.06 --> 00:00:32.05
and Reference,
15
00:00:32.05 --> 00:00:36.04
so let's just click on that. So it opens up this dialogue.
16
00:00:36.04 --> 00:00:40.07
And if you use trace paper, it's very similar.
17
00:00:40.07 --> 00:00:41.07
So what I like to do is
18
00:00:41.07 --> 00:00:46.00
I'm going to just put this over below my navigator,
19
00:00:46.00 --> 00:00:47.01
and
20
00:00:47.01 --> 00:00:49.09
you can scroll over to
21
00:00:49.09 --> 00:00:50.08
what you want to trace.
22
00:00:50.08 --> 00:00:53.08
So let's just trace the survey for now.
23
00:00:53.08 --> 00:00:55.05
So if I click on this,
24
00:00:55.05 --> 00:00:58.05
and I can say show as a Trace Reference,
25
00:00:58.05 --> 00:01:02.01
it is going to pull up the survey.
26
00:01:02.01 --> 00:01:05.03
And because it's little far away,
27
00:01:05.03 --> 00:01:08.03
so it's way up there.
28
00:01:08.03 --> 00:01:11.03
And it looks like the layers are off.
29
00:01:11.03 --> 00:01:14.03
So let's go back.
30
00:01:14.03 --> 00:01:16.02
And let's go to our layers,
31
00:01:16.02 --> 00:01:19.01
let's just turn on all of our layers.
32
00:01:19.01 --> 00:01:20.08
And so there it is,
33
00:01:20.08 --> 00:01:23.01
it's a little far away from where we're going to be drawing.
34
00:01:23.01 --> 00:01:26.08
So let's just bring it closer, we have these options,
35
00:01:26.08 --> 00:01:29.05
so we can switch the reference. So if I click on this,
36
00:01:29.05 --> 00:01:33.06
it switches between an active and an inactive.
37
00:01:33.06 --> 00:01:36.07
So right now, we're on the survey,
38
00:01:36.07 --> 00:01:40.00
and what's below us is first floor,
39
00:01:40.00 --> 00:01:41.04
or what's being traced.
40
00:01:41.04 --> 00:01:42.09
So if I click that, again,
41
00:01:42.09 --> 00:01:45.00
we can see that the survey is being traced
42
00:01:45.00 --> 00:01:48.08
and the active area that we're in is the first floor.
43
00:01:48.08 --> 00:01:51.02
So we can see this is a little far away.
44
00:01:51.02 --> 00:01:53.00
And so we have a few different options,
45
00:01:53.00 --> 00:01:57.02
we can drag the reference, we can rotate the reference,
46
00:01:57.02 --> 00:02:01.00
we can reset the reference to its default position,
47
00:02:01.00 --> 00:02:03.02
we can rebuild the reference,
48
00:02:03.02 --> 00:02:06.08
maybe the references change or you've updated that file,
49
00:02:06.08 --> 00:02:09.01
we can change the colour of the reference
50
00:02:09.01 --> 00:02:11.09
and the opacity of the reference,
51
00:02:11.09 --> 00:02:15.06
we can also change what the active layer looks like
52
00:02:15.06 --> 00:02:18.05
or the active area that we're working in.
53
00:02:18.05 --> 00:02:21.07
So let's just do this. Let's change it to
54
00:02:21.07 --> 00:02:24.01
red so we can see it. There it is.
55
00:02:24.01 --> 00:02:27.07
And now let's just drag this down.
56
00:02:27.07 --> 00:02:30.00
So I clicked on move.
57
00:02:30.00 --> 00:02:31.06
And I'm going to move it closer
58
00:02:31.06 --> 00:02:34.00
to the origin of where I'm working.
59
00:02:34.00 --> 00:02:39.05
And so now if I zoom in, and I'm just scrolling in,
60
00:02:39.05 --> 00:02:41.08
I can see that it's a little bit off,
61
00:02:41.08 --> 00:02:43.04
I might want to move it over a little bit more.
62
00:02:43.04 --> 00:02:45.09
So I'm going to click on it again move,
63
00:02:45.09 --> 00:02:48.08
and I can move it closer to where I'm working.
64
00:02:48.08 --> 00:02:50.06
And at the bottom,
65
00:02:50.06 --> 00:02:53.03
we have a couple options that allow us
66
00:02:53.03 --> 00:02:55.04
to visualize it a little bit better.
67
00:02:55.04 --> 00:02:59.02
So we can temporarily move it, maybe something's in our way.
68
00:02:59.02 --> 00:03:01.03
And we want to kind of get it out of the way
69
00:03:01.03 --> 00:03:02.04
so we can see what's going on.
70
00:03:02.04 --> 00:03:05.04
But once we let go, it moves back,
71
00:03:05.04 --> 00:03:09.02
we can also move it so that the reference
72
00:03:09.02 --> 00:03:12.06
is on top of the information that we're looking at.
73
00:03:12.06 --> 00:03:15.07
But it's still a reference. So you can see what happens is,
74
00:03:15.07 --> 00:03:19.03
if I push this reference above button,
75
00:03:19.03 --> 00:03:22.02
it moves it from back to front.
76
00:03:22.02 --> 00:03:26.05
So it's kind of a layering in a way or a ordering.
77
00:03:26.05 --> 00:03:29.01
Um and then we also have this ability.
78
00:03:29.01 --> 00:03:30.03
So I'm going to turn this off.
79
00:03:30.03 --> 00:03:34.02
And then we have the ability to bring a splitter down
80
00:03:34.02 --> 00:03:36.09
so we can look at information
81
00:03:36.09 --> 00:03:39.08
and see what's behind it.
82
00:03:39.08 --> 00:03:41.06
And so that works on both of them.
83
00:03:41.06 --> 00:03:46.04
So if I put the reference on top, the reference goes away.
84
00:03:46.04 --> 00:03:51.03
And if I do it the other way, the above information,
85
00:03:51.03 --> 00:03:53.06
or the active information goes away.
86
00:03:53.06 --> 00:03:57.02
And then we also have the ability to hide fills.
87
00:03:57.02 --> 00:04:00.03
So if you have a fill either in the reference
88
00:04:00.03 --> 00:04:03.06
or in the active, then you can hide that.
89
00:04:03.06 --> 00:04:07.00
And so this provides is a great opportunity to say okay,
90
00:04:07.00 --> 00:04:12.02
well I can still snap, or I can touch these elements.
91
00:04:12.02 --> 00:04:14.00
And I can quickly draw over it.
92
00:04:14.00 --> 00:04:16.02
So just going to show you a quick example
93
00:04:16.02 --> 00:04:18.05
of why this is such a powerful tool,
94
00:04:18.05 --> 00:04:20.08
I have selected the wall tool.
95
00:04:20.08 --> 00:04:22.09
And if I go over to this area here
96
00:04:22.09 --> 00:04:25.06
and I have a wall tool selected,
97
00:04:25.06 --> 00:04:29.07
I can just go through and quickly snap
98
00:04:29.07 --> 00:04:31.09
and place walls
99
00:04:31.09 --> 00:04:33.01
and
100
00:04:33.01 --> 00:04:34.06
it's attaching itself
101
00:04:34.06 --> 00:04:38.08
or it's a snapping to the reference.
102
00:04:38.08 --> 00:04:41.04
But if I go to my arrow tool,
103
00:04:41.04 --> 00:04:45.09
I can't select any of the things that are behind it.
104
00:04:45.09 --> 00:04:49.02
But I can use those as guide points
105
00:04:49.02 --> 00:04:52.00
when I'm starting to create my model.
106
00:04:52.00 --> 00:04:53.02
So let's just finish this off
107
00:04:53.02 --> 00:04:55.01
and we'll put the last wall there.
108
00:04:55.01 --> 00:04:58.04
And so
109
00:04:58.04 --> 00:05:00.08
you can see how powerful of a tool that is
110
00:05:00.08 --> 00:05:03.04
and then this trace works
111
00:05:03.04 --> 00:05:05.08
with every single
112
00:05:05.08 --> 00:05:09.01
element or anything in the viewpoint.
113
00:05:09.01 --> 00:05:10.08
Anything in the Layout Book,
114
00:05:10.08 --> 00:05:13.08
basically anything that you're working with,
115
00:05:13.08 --> 00:05:17.04
you can trace it. So it allows for a lot of efficiencies
116
00:05:17.04 --> 00:05:19.00
when you're starting out your project
117
00:05:19.00 --> 00:05:22.03
or when you're coordinating with other disciplines.
118
00:05:22.03 --> 00:05:24.07
So that's the Trace Reference in a nutshell.
119
00:05:24.07 --> 00:05:29.00
Definitely dive into it and you'll find how powerful it is.
