adumi Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Being a N00b, I already learned how to draw a plan of walls in autocad11 and make sure they have the desired height, so I can now draw a whole floor or story. But I do not know how to draw the one above it or under it. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 There is no equivalent of Revit's Level command in Architecture 2011? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adumi Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hi ReMark, Tried googling: `autocad level command` got zilch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Just to be clear...you are using Architecture 2011 and not generic AutoCAD right? Have you tried looking in your Help file or your User's Guide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adumi Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Indeed. Not generic CAD but Architecture 2011. Sorry for not stating that clearly before. Tried before posting searching help for `floor` `story`. After you mentioned the term `level` tried searching the Autocad help for it. I did get a confirmation it does exist, but no info at all as to how to create it. Example: this was under "Generating multiple leveles in the same drawing": http://help.autodesk.com/kb/display.do?ROW_ID=1-GQ9-4303 Thanks.

ReMark Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I think the key words in that link were "working elevation". Have you looked in your User's Guide? Found this using a search for "Architecture 2011"+"add level". http://cad-notes.com/2009/06/defining-levels/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adumi Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thanks ReMark, that term did it. the command is `Elev` or `change>properties>Elev` Solved my problem, have a great day, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Glad to hear your problem has been solved. You're entirely welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Elev is supported in plane jane Autocad as well, using a combination of ELEV and THICKNESS you can create 3d walls for any one else that does not have Architecture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adumi Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks for your response, BIGAL, Would I be using in that case a spline or a line ? Tried using a `line` in architecture and adding to it`s thickness. The thickness does change in it`s properties menu but the line itself doesnt "look" thicker in the graphic display on the screen. I`m actually experiencing some problems with the Architecture Build>wall line so the option you`re talking about may be useful for me if I could only make that line "look" thick, too. Thanks.

rkent Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Please ask in an Architectural Desktop forum, there is a definite method to adding stories to your file. It has been a while since I had that program and can't remember the terminology but it is very different from plain AutoCAD. I think you need to look up Constructs.
