NOTE Prior to the introduction of material definitions in Architectural Desktop 2004 it was common and recommended
practice to assign wall style components to nested layers and set their color, line type, line weight and plot style settings
to “BYLAYER”. While this is still technically valid in AutoCAD Architecture 2008, it is not recommended except for a very
few exceptions (such as the “Plan Screened” display representation, which is frequently used to export plan displays to
consultants using AutoCAD, who desire the items to be on a prescribed layer and assigned colors appropriate for
background drawings).
■
Model display of wall components should be set to the drawing defaults, to allow for material assignments to
control the color and hatching of walls when viewed in non-orthogonal views.
■
Wall styles should be classified. This allows for more flexible scheduling and tagging in the future, as well as more
display control options.
NOTE The Uniformat II classification definition is supplied in the Uniformat II Classifications (1997 ed).dwg file located
in the AEC Content\Styles path. This classification definition is fairly comprehensive and in many cases serves well in
classifying all types of AutoCAD Architecture object styles according to a uniform standard.
■
Walls that have one or more obvious internal dimension points (such as the outside of a structural component)
should have those specified in the wall style “Components” tab under the “Dimensions” column. This allows for
more accurate application of AEC Dimensions.
■
Wall components should be assigned a “Structural” or “Non-Structural” designation under the “Type” column in
the “Components” tab, again to allow for more effective use of AEC Dimensions.
■
Walls should have an interior and exterior side specified as part of the wall style definition to ensure more accurate
AEC Dimensioning.
To ensure accurate dimensioning with AEC Dimensions, the wall in the following image has had it’s components assigned to either
“Structural” or “Non-Structural” types. Dimension points and the exterior/interior sides of the wall are also specified.
Wall Endcap Styles
Wall endcap styles are intended to be used with specific wall styles. They can be used to define actual end conditions
as well as opening conditions as part of a Wall Opening Endcap Style.
Naming Conventions:
Wall endcap styles should be named according to the wall style to which they apply, with an indication of the condition
they are meant to address:
<Associated wall styles> (<End condition><Index>)
Example Wall Endcap Style Names:
Example Name Wall Endcap Style Description
Stud-3.5 Brick-3.625 Sheathing-0.5 Air-1 GWB-0.625 (End1) For wall style Stud-3.5 Brick-3.625 Sheathing-0.5 Air-1 GWB-0.625 to
define the first end condition.
