make isometric plan

[Anonymous]

hi, I want to ask something...
can archicad make all the plan become isometric?
I want to make utility diagram but I can't make my plan become isometric...
please help....
thank you very much.....[/img]

hi
Can you try to use camera to set your desired view?
Good luck

You can choose predefined projections in View > 3D view mode > 3D projection settings.
Note: From AC12 you can create 3D documents (Document > 3D document) in order to add 2D information to the axonometric view.

thank you for the help, but I want to make 2D isometric plan, not in 3D.. I have to make a 2D diagram plan for Utility System..
so it's just like one line drawing..

sorry, the picture should be facing down

Model your project in 3D.
View it in the 3D window as an axonometric.
Right-click in this 3D window and choose:
Capture window for 3D document.

That's still a 3d model, Erika. I believe Christaline just wants to view the 2d linework as an axon.

I think there maybe a way to do it, but I haven't tried it myself!

Save each of the 2d floor plans as objects as described by this wiki article here. Open a new empty ArchiCAD file and place each floor 'object' onto a separate storey. Use trace and reference to align them over the top of each other. Set the 3d window to Axonometric mode and view the plans from the required direction. Adjust the storey heights so the plans do not visually overlap. Now save this as a 3d document and annotate.

Post a screen shot if it works!

Yes, it is 3D. She can drag a copy of it and then do what she wants with it.
I question whether she needs to create a completely 2D axon for her purposes. She should be able to do what she needs with the 3D worksheet.

To show the linework from a floorplan in 3D (and thus isometric), you can save the floorplan as DXF and make it an object.
