CROSS SECTIONS
The Cross Section Drawings were created automatically.
All the information used to generate these drawings came from the floor plans. Simply specify the floors, select a cut line and SoftPlan automatically creates the Cross Section.
Left Image
This is a completed cross section detail drawing. As with elevations most of
this detail was automatically generated from the floor plan. The more detail
added to the floor plan the better the cross section.
Centre Image
These details were created using the click and drag drawing tools provided for
section detail. Notes have been added, many from the speed note libraries provided.
Right Image The drawing generated
is quite detailed. Walls are drawn in their exact location and are detailed
to the specification of the particular wall type. For instance, the exterior
walls were 90 x 38 frame with brick veneer. They have brick exterior, an air
space and are plasterboard lined.
Cross sections are
automatically drawn with these details. Joists are placed according to the joist
layouts for each floor. The support posts, footings and concrete slabs were
created automatically from the plan information. If the cut line intersects
an opening, appropriate sill and lintel information is also included.
All of these details
remain editable. Should some detail not be generated to specification, then
a quick click of the mouse allows you to redefine the object.
Once the Section drawing
was created, detailing notes were added either by typing the note or by using
the Speed Note Libraries. Repetitive notes, such as wall details, may be saved
in the libraries and used over and over, with just a click of the mouse.
Cross Section details
are provided in a pre-drawn "object" format, so there is no need to draw using
simple lines in most cases.
Cross Sections....quick,
accurate, precisely detailed.....
These are the cross section detail tools, where a simple select, draw
a box and edit to exact size is all that is required. No more drawing details
line by line. Once drawn can be saved as a symbol ready to be used again and
again.
