Hey all,
Know this most likely has been A&A’d however I can’t discover it for the lifetime of me. Am simply doing primary ground plans for some residence renovations on Format. I’m very conversant in drawings as I’m a millwright and know find out how to create/learn prints. I believed this program would make the method much less cumbersome however I’ve run into some issues.
-
Scale: I understand how to attract/learn scale however am having problem using it in this system. After I arrange the A4 template (or another), I would like the size chosen from the drop down menu to learn out for me. For instance: If I’m drawing a 12’ x 12’ sq. in 1:4, I would like the scaled measurement to learn out as 4’ x 4’ with out me having to do the maths an try to “freehand” it into place.
-
Use of layers: Seeing as I’ve written this out, could as effectively ask the specialists. As I’m going through totally different variations of potential layouts, I need to create layers (which I do know is feasible.) I ought to be capable to toggle between them/create new variations whereas nonetheless seeing the unique floorprint proper? Can discover the reply some other place if y’all don’t have the persistence, simply realizing its potential is sufficient. Know that is primary af however sadly I haven’t acquired that far into what I’m making an attempt to take action I figured kill 2 birds with one stone.
I actually recognize the assistance, know these are most likely posted on a regular basis and utterly get the frustration seeing these. Nevertheless, having searched youtube/reddit/FAQs/boards for two hours earlier than posting this and nonetheless not discovering a solution, felt I’d give the board a shot (As a Logic Professional X person and discussion board contributor, getting began is all the time the worst.) This simply saves me from manually drawing it, after spending about 4 hours on figuring this out (2 brute pressure and ignorance, 2 looking), I’m fourth and inches from saying f*** it so any and all assistance is appreciated.
TIA
You is likely to be coming at this from the incorrect course.
Format is a device for creating 2nd drawings from the 3d mannequin you mannequin in Sketchup.
Format itself just isn’t the simplest 2nd drawing software program, it may be used for that however actually extra of an adjunct to its foremost job of making 2nd drawings from the 3d you already created.
Don’t get me incorrect, it’s a 2nd doc producer, but it surely might not be what you expect.
