help!!! how do i construct multiple floor plans

Anonymous — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 21:21:57 GMT

Hi all, there is a question regrading the floor plan construction.
i'm doing a school project consisted of four floors, and my question is,
let say i have my ground floor plan, but i want to show the plumbing, electrial, ventilation, mechanical and grid system for my ground floor plan, but if i put them all in one plan the plan will be difficult to read, so i decide to do 5 ground floor plan showing each of the systems above. so how can i print them in indivial page and showing the correct layout id so my page index will have them too?

thank you for your time.

Basic training would help!

I've deleted your duplicate thread and moved this to the Student Forum.

None of these forums are intended for users who have not at least worked through the basic tutorials. If you are still confused after going through the basic training files, ask again.

thank you for ur help
maybe i didnt ask my question correctly, in the tutorial, there are only 1 plan for the ground floor and 1 plan for the gellery space
but my question is, what if i want to have 5 ground floor plan showing different elements. do i just duplicate 5 copies and draw them on one sheet?

You're confusing viewpoints (a story) with views (a plan or many plans obtained from a story viewpoint). Much more basic learning to do via the tutorials and help files.

It's all about Layer Combinations.

Put each of the types of element on a different layer e.g. all electrical stuff on the electrical layer, all plumbing stuff on the plumbing layer.

Now create a different layer combinations with only the bits you want to see turned on for each type of plan you want. E.g. an electrical plan layer combination would need the electrical layer turned on, the walls turned on and obviously the landscaping layer turned off. etc etc.

Create as many views of the plans as needed and assign each one a different layer combination.

This is a fundamental concept to producing drawings in ArchiCAD. Create a view from a viewpoint (a plan, elev etc) and assign a layer combination, a scale, a pen set, model view options, and cut plane settings to it to get it to appear how you want.
