11 View the changes in the 01 Plan view.
■ Click Window menu ➤ 01 Plan.
■ At the lower right corner of the screen, click the blue link in the yellow bubble that displays to reload
the changes that you made in the 01 Floor construct to the current view.
Notice the windows are resized, but the windows that you placed in both stairways are not tagged or
added to the schedule, and the windows sizes are not updated in the schedule.
12 Tag the stairway windows, and update the window schedule:
■ On the Getting Started tool palette, click Window Tag, select the first window, and place the tag above
the window.
■ In the Edit Property Set Data dialog, under WindowObjects, verify that the number is the next sequential
number after the number of the last window that currently displays in the schedule.
■ Click OK, press ESC.
■ Repeat the same steps to tag the other stairway window.
■ Update the window schedule, and view the new sizes and windows in the schedule.
13 Save and close 01 Plan.
Creating a Section
In this exercise, you create a section through the building. Before you can create the section, you must create the rest
of the building geometry. Construct drawings that include the floor slabs, elevator shaft, and curtain wall entry are
provided for you, but you create the 02-04 Floor constructs and reference the restroom elements onto the 01-04 Floor
constructs.
To create the section, you use a section callout tool to place a section line in the 01 Plan view, and then generate a new
view drawing that contains the section. The new view drawing externally references all of the constructs (and elements
that they reference) that create the office building geometry.
After you create the section, you study the section view, make some design revisions in the building constructs, and
then update the section to include the revisions.
1 Open the 01 Floor construct, and reference the restroom layout elements:
■ On the Project Navigator, click the Constructs tab.
■ Under Constructs, double-click 01 Floor.
■ Under Elements, select Typical Restroom - Men, and drag it to the 01 Floor drawing.
■ Select Typical Restroom - Women, and drag it to the 01 Floor drawing.
■ Save and close 01 Floor.
2 Copy the 01 Floor construct to create constructs for floors 02-04:
■ In the Constructs folder, right-click 01 Floor, and click Copy Construct to Levels.
■ On the Copy Construct to Levels worksheet, under Copy to Levels, select levels 2 - 4, and click OK.
Three copies of 01 Floor are created in the Constructs folder.
