00:05
is used to indicate the location of a section.
00:08
And the section head
00:09
is used to help coordinate drawings by indicating the sheet
00:13
and detail number that the section view is placed upon.
00:17
This means that when viewing a plan,
00:19
if a section is relevant,
00:20
we can see the sheet and the view number that we need to open. To view that section.
00:28
We'll create a new section marker type to help us personalize the look
00:32
of our drawings and to help group the sections in the project browser.
00:36
First, we need to load in the new section tag.
00:39
So to do this, we'll go to the insert ribbon tab
00:43
and from the load from library panel, we'll click load or to desk family.
00:49
This will open up the cloud based Autodesk content browser.
00:55
we just need to check that the local
00:57
region settings are set to United States Imperial.
01:02
having done that, we'll search for section
01:09
and then on the left hand panel here, we'll browse to annotations
01:14
and then from the list of results,
01:16
we can pick the section head one point open family here
01:23
to download this into our project.
01:26
Now to create section tag,
01:29
we first go to the manage ribbon tab
01:32
and then from the additional settings drop down on the annotation sub menu.
01:37
Here, we'll click section tags
01:40
and this will open up the type properties of the section tags. Here,
01:43
we can see we have the half inch head type.
01:46
So we'll click duplicate to create a new one
01:50
and we'll name this sketch section tag
01:57
and then click OK to create that new tag type.
02:01
Now, looking at the graphics panel here,
02:03
we can see we have the section head parameter
02:07
and from the drop down list, we can now choose the section head one point open
02:12
that we just downloaded
02:16
and then we'll click OK to create that new section tag type.
02:21
Now to make use of the new section tag, we need to edit one of the section markers.
02:26
So we'll select the long section here in the view.
02:30
Now, looking at the type selector,
02:32
we can see that is the half inch head section type here
02:36
and we'll click edit type to access the type properties.
02:41
And now we'll click duplicate to create a
02:43
new section type and we'll call this sketch sections
02:48
and then we'll click OK to create that new section type.
02:51
Now looking at its type parameters, we can see the section tag parameter
02:55
and it's currently the half inch head type. So
02:59
and then from the button that appears,
03:01
we need to open up the type properties of the section tags
03:05
and out from the drop down list for types here, we'll choose our sketch sections tag
03:10
and then click OK to sign that into our section type.
03:14
So we click OK to save the new section type.
03:17
And straight away in the view,
03:19
we can see that we now have that new marker that we downloaded
03:23
and looking over in the project browser.
03:25
We have a new group for sections here, the sketch sections
03:28
and that long section has now moved into that group.
03:33
So now we can pick on one of the existing sections here.
03:37
And in the type selector, we can see that's the half inch head type,
03:41
we can now choose the sketch sections type
03:44
and the market will change and it will move into the sketch sections group.
03:48
In the project browser,
03:51
we can also create a new section. So from the view ribbon tab
03:55
on the create panel here, we'll click the section tool.
03:59
Now, from the type selector,
04:01
we can choose out sketch sections type
04:05
and now when we draw our section line in,
04:07
so we'll sketch this through the middle of the building here.
04:11
We can see that uses that marker. We can use the
04:14
control here to cycle through to the same marker on the other end.
04:18
And we can also see in the project browser section one
04:21
under the sketch sections group.
