Construction Sheets
The “Spatial Engineer 11” tutorial on the placement of construction sheets walks users through the essential steps for creating and managing construction sheets within their projects. This feature is crucial for professionals looking to detail their work in a structured layout, which includes annotations, stamps, and tabulations. Below is a summarization and step-by-step guide based on the video content:
- Initiating Construction Sheet Placement:
- Begin with your desired area already queried up.
- Right-click on the screen and enter “Placement Draw Mode.”
- Under the “Workprint” category, find and select “Construction Sheet.”
- Configuring the Construction Sheet:
- In the dialogue box, assign a name to your construction sheet. It’s noted that the clip number increments with each additional sheet.
- Choose a sheet size, with “B sheet” and scaling (e.g., 1 to 50 or 1 to 100) according to the area you’re covering.
- Placing and Orienting the Sheet:
- Place the outline of the construction sheet on the map by left-clicking.
- Pay attention to the command line for instructions on specifying a rotation angle, allowing you to orient the sheet as needed.
- Defining the Clip Line:
- The next command prompt involves specifying the starting point for what will become the clip line. This clip line is crucial for later tabulation processes.
- Create a closed rectangle around the area of interest by selecting points and right-clicking to auto-close.
- Viewing and Editing the Construction Sheet:
- Access the “Work Order” pull-down menu, select “Construction Sheet,” then “View Sheet” to bring up your named sheet.
- This transition shows the sheet in model space, where you can add text, annotations, or stamps without affecting scale.
- Switching Between Model and Paper Space:
- To adjust views without impacting the scale, double-click on the right-hand column for paper space, where zooming does not alter the scale.
- Double-clicking in the middle transitions back to model space; however, zooming here can affect the set scale.
- Annotation and Final Steps:
- Annotate as needed, keeping scale considerations in mind for readability upon printing.
- To exit viewing mode, save the construction sheet as a drawing file for easy access and future modifications. Remember, any changes made within this saved drawing require committing modified graphics to update the database.
