CalqLearn Calq: a building from A to Z / Part 9 Drawings and sheets
The presentation
Lay the model out on sheets by a template, choose the paper and the style, and change what a frame shows.
You will open the presentation of the sample house, pick the Drawing set template, put it on A2 in the Blueline style and look at what a frame can show.
01Open Present
Press Present, the screen at the right of the top bar. The model is laid out by the first template, Contact sheet: every drawing of the model, four to a sheet. Nobody places a view: each frame asks for a drawing (the next plan, the front elevation) and the model answers, at the scale that fits.
02Pick a template
The templates stand on the left, each drawn from this model: Board, Slides, Drawing set, Planning set, Booklet and more. Choose Drawing set: a sheet a drawing, at one scale, dimensioned, in a title block. The head of the page counts the sheets and their scales.
03Paper and style
On the right, choose the paper (A3, A2, A1, Tabloid, Arch D) and the drawing style: here A2, then Blueline. The scale is found again for the new paper, the largest that fits unless you set one: on A2 the plans go up to 1:50 and the elevations to 1:100. Tags and Show set the tags' look and what each drawing shows.
04A frame
Click a drawing: its frame is in hand, to move or resize by its grips, and the margin lists the model's drawings with the sheet each stands on: choose one and the two change places. A frame can also hold an image (the 3D view as it stands, a file, a render), a sheet can be added, and a frame taken off. What you change by hand is kept with the model.
