"Drawings" tab

"Drawings" tab interface

The "Drawings" tab, accessible from the top of the "Thermal model" tab, lets you create and edit the drawings for the building’s thermal envelope.

The drawings are generated from the information contained in the "Building" tab. You can also import and view templates in DXF/DWG format, either from the BIM model or via the "DXF-DWG templates" button on the top toolbar.

This tab features an interface with the following areas:

Toolbar

The top toolbar contains tools for configuring the display, managing labels and adding annotations.

Views

In this area, which is located by default at the top of the left-hand side, you can select the view to be displayed in the workspace (plan views, 3D views, elevations, etc.). Views can be created and edited in the section of the same name on the "Building" tab.

Project

This area, located at the bottom of the left-hand side, features a navigation tree where you can select the groups, zones, building elements and openings that make up the building. In the workspace, the program highlights in orange the model elements associated with the level selected in the tree.

Work area

The workspace, in the centre of the interface, is a three-dimensional environment where the model is displayed according to the selected view. The elements of the envelope are coloured according to the legend provided.

Key

In this area, on the right-hand side, the map legend is displayed, showing the "Details" of the graphic representation used for each feature, its "Reference" and its "Description".

Move tag in 3D modeMove the selected tag in three-dimensional space.
Move tag to the initial pointReturn the tag of the selected element to its original position.
Show/hide tagShow or hide the tag of the selected element.
Place or remove the reference line of the tagPlace or remove the line linking the label to the selected element to which it refers.
Rotate tagTurn the tag to face the correct way.

Tools in the "Annotations" group in the "Drawings" tab

The options in the "Annotations" section of the "Drawings" tab let you insert or edit the following drawing elements in plan views:

ElevationEnter a dimension between two selected points, specifying the colour and line weight, and the text size.
LineInsert a line between two selected points, specifying its colour and thickness.
TextEnter some text and a reference line, specifying its colour, line thickness and text size.
Text boxInsert a text box that is left-aligned, right-aligned or centred, specifying the text colour and size, the border properties and the background fill.
ArcEnter an arc and, if you wish, its radius, specifying the colour and line thickness, as well as the text size.
