Architectural Objects
When referring to styles, the term “Architectural Objects” refers to any object style that will result in the creation of a
specific type of architectural geometry, such as a wall, door, stair, roof slab, etc. It also refers to “sub-styles” that are
related to those object types, such as wall endcaps and slab edge styles.
Walls
Walls are among the more complex objects and are affected by a variety of styles and substyles. When a wall style that
references a specific substyle is imported into a drawing it will import all necessary substyles with it.
Wall Styles
Naming Conventions:
You should provide as much information about the wall structure in the name itself as practical. This makes it easier
to discriminate between wall styles in a long list without having to refer to the wall style description. The first component
listed is the major structural component. The last component listed is usually a finish component:
<Component name>-<Size in decimal units> <Component name>-<Size in decimal units>...
Example Wall Style Names:
Example Name Wall Style Description
Stud-3.5 Brick-3.625 Sheathing-0.5 Air-1 GWB-0.625 Wall structure: 5/8” gypboard interior finish, 3 1/2” wood stud, 1/2”
sheathing, 1” air gap and 3 5/8” brick veneer.
Stud-3.5 GWB-0.625 Both Sides Wall structure: 5/8” Gypboard interior finish on both sides of a 3
1/2” wood stud.
Stud-X GWB-0.625 Both Sides Wall structure: 5/8” Gypboard interior finish on both sides of a
variable width wood stud.
Best Practices for Wall Styles:
■
Walls are directional, and should be considered as having an exterior and interior side. The exterior, or positive
side of the wall is at the top of a wall running left to right. Wall components should be defined so that the index
order is from exterior to interior. The component furthest to the exterior side of the wall should have an index
assignment of 1, while the most interior component will have the highest index assignment.
■
When specifying the edge offset of a component, the value should always be to the most interior edge of the
component.
■
The width of components is always a positive value.
■
Wall Priorities should be standardized and based on the existing AutoCAD Architecture convention, which is
documented in the AutoCAD Architecture User Guide.
■
Materials should be assigned to all wall components.
■
Plan display of wall components should normally be set to observe the drawing default settings. Best practice is to
assign materials to wall components and set their linework and hatch pattern parameters to “By Material” in the
plan display settings.
