Anyone have a free objet make constructiongrid appear in S/E

Anonymous — Tue, 15 Nov 2005 16:21:50 GMT

Anyone know how to get construction grid appear in section/elevation. What we do is copying from the plan and pasting them into the elevation. If someone have a gdl objet that is doing that it will be appreciate

Thank you

What do you mean by "construction axes"?

I think it means the axes in plan which use for locate every point generally number for X Axes and Letters for Y Axes generally put on particular structure axes.
He want to see it automatically in Section elevation without copy and paste him from the plan view.

Martin,

One of the objects in this package from CADimage claims to do that.

I have not tried it. Another way is to use the built-in structural grid object setting up only the vertical bays leaving the other with no entries. But you still have the issue of lining it up correctly in elevations.... and it does not automatically change.

That's what I thought he meant, and the CADImage object works wonders.

Hello Tom,

do you have tested the grid object? Does it make the complete axes of the grid in s/e inkl. Text and marker? I wonder how it can be done. To make the grid lines visible - OK, but the marker too? I don't see a way to place normal text in s/e of an object placed in the floor plan and automatically generated in s/e. AFAIK this can be only 3D-text. And this I have to orientate to the section plane. But I can't request the direction to it. It would offer a lot of possibilities if there is a hint (I don't know) to do so.

It's an object in combination with an add-on.

We have it. It works pretty well. The big drawback is that you cannot offset the markers if they are close together and overlapping.

Still, it's great for showing grid lines in elevations or even in details. It has a function to find grid lines and show their markers in details.
