  1. CADD Part II Unit 1

  2. AEC Objects • Known as “Intelligent architectural objects” • Specific virtual architectural objects such as doors, windows, walls, and stairs • AEC Objects act and interact in the same way as they would in the real world

  3. Styles • Information contained in drawings (.dwg) • Controls the object with parameters

  4. Tool Palettes • Contain major architectural routines, activated by selecting an icon and dragging it to the drawing editor • These palettes can be sized, renamed, modified, and moved

  5. Tool Palettes • The Tool Palettes can be brought up by three methods: • By typing toolpalettes in the Command line • By pressing Ctrl + 3 on the keyboard • By selecting the Tool Palettes icon

  6. Contextual Menus • Object specific data and parameters are available through the contextual menus • Activated by right- clicking on an object Example: The menu on the right is from a wall object

  7. The Mass Model • The Mass Model concept is unique to Autodesk Architectural Desktop and is based on a modeling tradition called "massing model" used by many architects. • In this system, the architect or designer makes a cardboard, wood, or clay "study model" of the building.

  8. Mass Models • These small models show the relationship between parts of the structure while also indicating scale and the effect of light and shadow on the facades.

  9. Mass Models • In Architectural Desktop 2006 you can make sophisticated virtual massing models. • These massing models can then be sliced into "Floorplates" or horizontal sections from which walls can be automatically generated.

  10. Space Planning • The space-planning concept has been used by architects and designers for years. • In this concept, rectangles and circles represent building program areas.

  11. Space Planning • In Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2006, the developers have taken this one step farther by combining a 3D component to the relationships. • Every space-planning object also contains information about floor-to-ceiling heights, and floor-to-floor heights.

  12. Space Planning • After the space planning has been completed, the space plan can automatically be converted into three-dimensional walls into which doors, windows, and so on can be added. • The three-dimensional plan can then form the basis for construction documents.

  13. The Virtual Building Model • The Virtual Building or 3-D model differs from standard electronic drafting in that components of a building are placed much as you would place objects in the real world.

  14. The Virtual Building Model • Instead of drawing lines and circles, you place doors, windows, walls, and roofs that can be parametrically controlled or modified, and simulate a real-world relationship.

  15. Properties Palette • The Properties palette changes depending on the AEC Object or entity that is selected. • All the properties of the selected object can be changed in this palette

  16. Properties Palette • The palette also contains the Quick Select Icon: • this is very useful in selecting objects, especially when several objects are located together.

  17. Content Browser • The Content Browser locates all your AEC tools such as walls, windows, and doors.

  18. Content Browser • You drag your tools into your Tool Palettes using Autodesk's idrop technology. • You can also drag AEC content back into your tool palettes to create new tools.

  19. Content Browser • After creating a new tool palette, it is a good idea to drag a copy of the tool palette back into the My Tool Catalog folder in the Content Browser to save a copy of the palette.
