THE MASTERS
THE SHEETS ARE WAITING FOR YOUR DRAWINGSHere are the division folders opened up to show the standard sheet organization. Notice how the majority of the Layouts have a “plus” sign next to them – that means they already have one or more Drawings pre-placed. As soon as you build a model, appropriate Views will show up on the right sheets! ArchiCAD is smart enough not to waste time updating the sheets continuously, and generates each Layout when you’re ready to check it or print it out. In fact, the Drawings are set for Manual Update so you will never have to wait to view a Layout sheet. However, you can be sure that everything is consistent, because with a simple Update command, the program makes sure that all the views show the same version of the building data and all the call-outs are up to date! The Layout Book is cleanly organized and well defined for all phases of project development. The hierarchy can be opened up selectively as needed. Sheets that aren’t needed (for example Details while you are doing Schematic Design) can be placed into the TEMP STORAGE folder and will not show up in the automatic Sheet Index. THE BOTTOM LINEAll of this took a while for us to set up, but you won’t have to. It’s built into MasterTemplate! |
