13 III Define Building

14 Define Building Define Building The Building Editor is used to create buildings and the site. A building is created by defining the building dimensions, the number of levels and the number of grid lines. The Building Editor also provides functions to add library objects on one or more grid point positions. 1. From the 5D menu select Building Editor to open the building editor window. 2. In the Building Editor select the Buildings node in the tree view, right click and select Add building. 14

15 Define Building 3. Automatically a new building is added to the site area. Default the new building is located at the origin of the site (0, 0, 0,). Select the Name field to change the building name [BUILDING] into for example New Building. The default dimensions of the new building are Size (X) = 6m, Size (Y) = 6m, and Size (Z) = 6m, Visually the building is represented by a blue box. 4. In the Building Editor select the Grid Lines (X) node in the tree view, right click and select Add Grid Lines (X). 5. The Add Grid Lines (X) for Site area... window is opened.

Select the Ok button to add the grid lines. Note that the building box is now stretched in the X-direction. 15

16 Define Building 6. The Building Editor lists the 3 new grid lines in the X-direction. All grid lines have the same name [XGRIDLINE]. Select the Grid Lines (X) node in the tree view, right click and select Add Auto-name(1-9). This function automatic renames grid lines or levels in numeric order. The name of the Grid Lines (X) can also be changed manually by selecting the Name field and entering a new name. 7. The grid lines are automatically renamed. Next also add 3 grid lines in the Y-direction with an offset of 9.6m in a similar way. Use Auto-name (A-Z) to change the name of the grid lines automatically. Note that the building box is now stretched in the Y-direction. 8. In the Building Editor select the Levels node in the tree view, right click and select Add Levels. 9. The Add Levels for "Building"... window is opened. In the Number of grid lines to add field enter the number of building levels, for example 1. In the Offset for new grid lines field enter the offset between the new levels, for example 6.0m. Select the Ok button to add the levels. Note that the building box is now stretched in the Z-direction. 16

17 Define Building Change the Level names using one of the auto name functions or edit each level name manually. Select New Building under the Buildings node and select the check mark the created grid visible. under the tab ShowGrid to make A blue transparent building box is visible with inside the green building grid.

The inboxes are now generated. select File => Save to save your changes. 17

18 IV Insert Building Objects

19 Insert Building Objects Insert Building Objects The Building Editor includes the function Insert Library object. This function inserts a library object on a selection of red grid points in the X-direction, Y-direction and Levels. Besides normal library objects (fixed dimensions) also parametric scalable and stretchable library objects can be inserted. 1. Select the Grid Lines (X) node for the New Building to display the grid lines in the X-direction. To select specific grid lines select the check mark in the selected column, for example grid 1 and Select the Grid Lines (Y) node for the New Building to display the grid lines in the Y-direction. To select specific grid lines select the check mark in the selected column, for example grid A and B. 19

20 Insert Building Objects 3. Select the Levels node for the New Building to display the levels. To select specific levels select the check mark in the selected column, for example grid L.0. Once grid lines and levels are selected, red grid points are visible in the design as red spheres to mark the selection. 4. In the Building Editor select the New Building node in the tree view, right click and select Insert Library Object. 5. In the displayed Insert library object on selected grid points... window select the Object Browser Button. The Object Browser window is opened, select a category Node to display sub categories. Select a category in the tree view to display the library objects. From the library select the floor object Floor Part 1m and select the OK Button. The library object Floor Part 1m is a scalable object with a dimension of 1m x 1m x 1m. When inserting the object it can be scaled to any required dimension. 6. In the Dimension fields enter the scale parameters for the object, for example: X = 9.600m, Y = 9.600m and Z = 1.000m. To preview the result of the parameters set, select the Preview Button. If necessary select the Clear Preview button to remove the result and change the parameters. To actually insert the library object with the parameters select the OK button. The library objet is now inserted and scaled at the selected grids. 20

21 Insert Building Objects As shown in the above picture the floor parts are inserted and scaled at the selected grid points. Select From the 5D menu select File => Save to save your changes. 7. In a similar way columns can be inserted into the design. Select all Grid Lines (X), all Grid Lines (Y) and level L.0 by selecting their check marks. Once the grid lines and level are selected, red grid points are visible in the design as red spheres to mark the selection. 21

22 8. In the Building Editor select the New Building node Insert Building Objects in the tree view, right click and select Insert Library Object. 9. In the displayed Insert library object on selected grid points... window select the Object Browser Button. Select the object Column with label 1m from the library and select the OK Button. The library object Column with label 1m is a scalable object with a dimension of 1m x 1m x 1m. When inserting the object it can be scaled to any required dimension. The library object has labels on each side. After inserting the object these labels automatically display the grid area. 10. In the Dimension fields enter the scale parameters for the object, for example: X = 0.600m, Y = 0.600m and Z = 6.000m. To preview the result of the parameters set, select the Preview Button. If necessary select the Clear Preview button to remove the result and change the parameters. To actually insert the library object with the parameters select the OK button. The library objet is now inserted and scaled at the selected grids. 22

23 Insert Building Objects As shown in the above picture the columns are inserted and scaled at the selected grid points and column labels display the grid names. Select From the 5D menu select File => Save to save your changes. 11. To create walls without using the Building Editor double click near the location the wall needs to be located. From the Object menu select Insert => Library Object. Select the object Wall Part 1m from the library and select the OK Button. The library object Wall Part 1m is a scalable object with a dimension of 1m x 1m x 1m. After the object is inserted it can be scaled to any required dimension. 23

24 Insert Building Objects 12. As shown in the above picture the object is inserted and highlighted. To move the object double click it and from the Object menu select Edit => Move / Rotate => Relative Position. 13. The Relative Position window is opened.
