Tutorial 1 In this tutorial, you will create a drawing sheet for the Apartment 1 project created in Tutorial 2 of Chapter 12, and then add the first floor plan, north elevation, longitudinal section, room schedule, and door schedule to the sheet, as shown in Figure 21. Figure 21 Sketch sheet layout for creating a drawing sheet for the Apartment 1 project
The following steps are required to complete this tutorial: Add a sheet using the New Sheet tool, by loading the specified titleblock. Add the project information in the sheet titleblock, refer to Figure 22. Figure 22 Project information in the titleblock of the sheet view
Add views to the sheet view and compose the drawing sheet, refer to Figure 23. Figure 23 Project views added to the drawing sheet view
Modify the visibility settings of the added views, using the Activate View tool. Add schedules to the sheet. Edit the schedules to compose them on the sheet, refer to Figure 24. Figure 24 Using the Split Schedule Table tool to split the table into two parts
