In this video, author Shaun Bryant explains how to incorporate openings in to an AutoCAD Architecture model.
- [Instructor] We're staying in our…Wall Openings.dwg file.…And as you can see, I've left it in…the same state as it was in the previous…video, where we've got our octagonal opening…over there on the left-hand wall, with our…little sort of door/window assembly,…our standard one over there, as well.…We've also got the little double door…that I've brought in, as well.…Now I'm not worried about the styles…and the shapes of the openings and the…doors and the windows that you're putting into the model.…It's purely the process, the workflow…that I want to get you used to.…
You'll get used to all the different…styles as you start working with AutoCad…Architecture, and finding the styles that you need.…Now there are some really good AEC Modify Tools…available to you in AutoCad Architecture.…Now there's my little double-door there.…Now I've placed that based on a distance…from one wall edge.…I might want an equal space either side…of that particular door.…Now, one of the really nice featuers…of AutoCad Architecture is the viewcube…
