fisher Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Hello, I am using AutoCad LT 2011 and I want to know what tool do I need to click on to create a door, window and closet. Quote
ReMark Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Did you check your tool palettes to see if there were any Dynamic Blocks of windows and doors included with the program? I doubt there will be any blocks for closets. These you'll have to create and save yourself. Note that many major manufacturers of windows and doors have websites where pre-made 2D and 3D blocks (some of them might be dynamic) are available for free download. Examples: Marvin, Pella, and Anderson. Example: Marvin website offering 2D and 3D symbols. http://www.marvin.com/?page=Resources_and_Technical_Information Edited October 12, 2010 by ReMark Quote
fisher Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 For example I made a search and this is how the door should be http://www.ellenfinkelstein.com/images/acadtips_dynblk_door-5.png . Now that I know the door symbol what should the windows and closet be. Quote

Now that I know the door symbol what should the windows and closet be. A dynamic block of a window in plan view would have to have a parameter for the varying widths available. Closets? Unless you are designing something like a closet "system" I fail to see the need for a dynamic block representing closets but that's just my personal opinion. It's your drawing...go for it. I guess you could incorporate a parameter for both depth and width in a dynamic block. Quote
