We're looking at a 3d view of the building
00:06
that we need to create the interior elevation for
00:10
looking at the project browser.
00:11
I can see that we have a group for interior elevation views
00:15
and we also have a bathroom elevation one view that's already been created.
00:20
So I'll open this for you
00:24
and we can see that this is a completed elevation of one of the bathroom walls
00:29
to help us understand the location of this bathroom within the building.
00:32
I'll go back to the project browser
00:35
and right, click on the bathroom elevation one view
00:38
and from the menu here, we can click find referring views.
00:43
Now in the go to view settings, we can see we have the second floor plan view selected.
00:47
So I'll click open view
00:51
and now we can see we have the second floor plan view open. And if we zoom in here,
00:56
we can see the elevation marker and bathroom elevation one is selected,
01:00
showing us the right hand wall of the bathroom.
01:04
Now we need to create an elevation showing the
01:06
bottom wall of the bathroom here with the sink,
01:08
toilet and bath.
01:10
And if I select the elevation marker here.
01:12
We can see that we have the option to enable the arrows for the other directions
01:17
and we'll select the option here.
01:19
So we'll show arrow at the bottom of the view towards the bottom wall here.
01:24
And we can see now that that's created elevation one B in the project browser. So
01:28
let's right, click and choose, rename
01:31
and we'll name this bathroom elevation too.
01:41
So we have that renamed. Let's open up that view
01:46
and we can see here that we have that bathroom elevation,
01:48
but it doesn't cover the entire bathroom.
01:50
Actually,
01:51
we can see the sink is missing.
01:53
So I'll swap back to the second floor plan
01:56
and then select the pointer for this elevation view
01:59
and we can see the cut plane here.
02:01
It stretches across to the wall by the path, but it stops short on the other side.
02:05
If we zoom out a little,
02:06
we can see that it lines up with the external
02:09
wall that's a bit further on in the building.
02:13
So let's use the drag controls on the cut line here
02:16
and we'll drag that to the wall on the left here.
02:19
And now we'll swap back to the bathroom elevation view.
02:23
We can see now that that's covering the entire of the back wall
02:26
and it has the sink in the mirror as we need it to.
02:30
So whilst we have the crop region selected,
02:31
we also want to adjust the height of the view.
02:35
So we used to drag control at the bottom here,
02:37
it just dragged us closer to the floor
02:41
and then
02:42
looking at the top, we have a shadow across here.
02:44
So we use the top drag control just to reduce it down and to clear that shadow
02:50
so that we have that view set up. We're ready to add some notes and tags to the view
02:56
and we'll start by tagging the objects that we have in the view.
02:58
So the mirror sink, toilet and bath.
03:01
So if we select these,
03:02
so I'll click on the mirror and then hold it down the control key,
03:05
we can pick the other objects.
03:09
And now we'll go to the annotate ribbon tab
03:12
and from the tag panel here, we'll click on the tag or not tagged at all
03:19
in here, we can see we have a list of categories that we have tags available for
03:24
and we'll select the multi category tags
03:26
and we can see that that's gonna use the object description tag family.
03:31
So looking above,
03:32
we can see it's set to tag only selected objects in the current view.
03:37
So we'll click. OK.
03:39
And we can see now that those tags have
03:40
been applied to the objects that we had selected.
03:44
Now we want to reposition some of these tags. So I'll select the tag by the WC here.
03:49
And then using its drag control, we can just drag this up into a better location.
03:55
And now the one for the sink here, we can see that's slightly off center. So
03:58
we'll select it and drag it to the above the sink just in the middle here.
