AutoCAD Architecture
2010 improves wall drafting productivity to intuitive tools that allow you to
draw wall layouts that better reflect actual construction. Most of the
enhancements to walls involve the ability to modify walls and their endcap
conditions on a component level. Because of this AutoCAD Architecture 2010
has improved handling of common wall conditions such as: |
|
• Angled walls |
|
• Cornered walls |
|
• Intersecting fire-rated walls |
|
Wall enhancements
has two main pieces – Cleanups and Endcaps. This gives the ability to modify
walls and their cleanup and endcap conditions on a component level and
provides better handling of Angled walls, Cornered walls and intersecting
fire rated walls. This feature is very powerful feature and was requested by
customers couple of times in the past. But this is not the first thing to do,
it’s the last resort situation. People are encouraged to use the previous
cleanup methods available in the previous releases and then as last resort,
use this feature. This is quite a manual approach and so we have to keep in
mind considerations like wall styles. If we make one of the manual edits to
the cleanup and then for some reason if we need to change the wall styles for
a group of drawings, we probably will not see the behavior that we want
because these manual clean ups are not going to automatically update. |
