Workflow

Demo

Practice Exercise (Optional)

1. Create a plan view called Level 1-Structural that focuses on the structural elements of the first floor.

• Duplicate the first floor plan view and rename it to Level 1-Structural
• Set the detail level for this new plan view to Fine.
• Set the visibility graphics overrides to hide the furniture, furniture systems, and specialty equipment model categories.
• Override the graphics for the structural column elements with a heavier line weight and highly visible color (for example, red) that will highlight the structural system in the view. (Be sure to apply these overrides to both Projected and Cut elements).
• Create a plan view called Level 1-Furniture that focuses on the interior design of the first floor.
• Duplicate the first floor plan view and rename it to Level 1-Furniture
• Set the visibility graphics overrides to override the graphics for the furniture and furniture systems elements with a heavier line weight and highly visible color.
• Override the graphics for the wall, door, stair, and structural column categories to display using a halftone effect. These objects will be visible, but less prominent as you focus on furniture placement.
