The Save as Default button saves the current settings as the default for new projects.
The Revert Changes button cancels recently made changes. Modified and imported objects used in the project will always be saved in the project. On the other hand, projects that store only links to objects can take less disk space. Saving objects in the project guarantees that it will not be dependent on the version of the program (the contents of the library may change by a major update). Whatever you choose, it will not affect the way you work with the project. The Save Supplied Content in Project option lets you choose whether to save actual objects from the standard library in your project file, or save only links to these objects in the library. The program performance may decrease when the option is on. When it is deactivated, openings keep their original shape and size. When it is activated, the program tries to combine these openings. The Dynamic subtraction of intersecting building elements option defines the way the program treats openings that intersect. The 2D Representation Style option defines whether to display objects on the floor plan as vector outlines or as images. For example, the ground floor can be the same as the first floor in some languages. The Default Story Names lets you define whether to use the English way to name stories or another one. The Default Story Height defines the default height for new stories. The Suppress Units option lets you show or hide measurement units in the 2D layout. The Extend Floor Labels option allows you to choose what kind of information should be displayed in floor labels. Options available in the drop-down menu depend on what is selected in Measurement Units. This control does not affect the accuracy of calculations. number of decimal digits) that should be used to display dimensions of objects on the floor plan, in the Inspector and so on. The Units Precision drop-down menu lets you choose the precision (e.g. Most designers and engineers already know that. A drawing view represents the shape of the object when viewed from various standard directions, such as front, top, side, and so on. As a shortcut, you can click on the current measurement units indicated in the corner of the rulers, and choose a new option. A 2D drawing view is a representation of a 3D CAD part or assembly that is placed on a drawing sheet. The Measurement Units drop-down menu lists available measurement units. Use the Project Scale drop-down menu to set up the scale of the 2D views at 100% zoom. If two users are viewing the same Model, they will not see each other's measurements.To open the project settings, click the menu button and select Settings. Note: Measurements, by default, are temporary Measurements are not saved when you exit the model. Note: You can only create one measurement at a time if you select the Measurement tool again, the original measurement will be cleared: Click on the 'x' in the measurement menu.There are a few different ways to clear a measurement. You can navigate around the model and the measurement you added will remain static: Note: The measurement menu and guidelines take visual precedence on the model until it is removed. Note: If your mouse hovers over the background while measuring the second point, it will automatically be anchored to the closest model edge. Click on the second point on the model to create the measurement. Measurements are calculated dynamically as you move your mouse. Click on the first point you'd like to measure from. Note: All project permission levels (admin, members, and followers) can access the measurement tool.Ģ.
To create a Measurement, open a 3D Model from the '3D Models' tab. If dropped right on the 3D extents, it should toggle back to 3D. To do that, you first have to edit the 2D extents and make them match the 3D extents by dragging the 2D grip over to and dropping it on the 3D extents (the hollow circle to the left of your grid bubble). If the model was exported with imperial or metric units, the measurements will be displayed in Feet and fractional inches (0’0”) or meters (m), respectively. In that state, you cannot click on the '2D' indicator to change it to '3D'. The measurement tool allows you to measure the X, Y, Z distances between two points you add to the model. The units that are displayed in each model (whether it’s feet/inches or meters) are determined by the model itself. X and Y measurements between Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and architectural elements in 2D plans are difficult to measure because the pertinent disciplines are on different sheets.įieldwire's BIM measurement tool helps accurately measure height and distances between all model elements One of the biggest challenges of 2D plans is the inability to measure real-world distances.īy default, m ost plans do not indicate height measurements.
