11 External references
Here you will learn how to integrate external references.
11.1 XRef step 1

(Used example: Demoplan.dwg)
1. At the first step extract all several planviews from the main drawing and save
them as independent drawings.
2. Open the drawing Demoplan.dwg in directory

C:\Programme\AX3000\K_Data\DWG.

3. Zoom out the first planview as shown in graphic.
4. Mark the entire planview, click the right mouse button and choose the option
'Copy with base point'.

External references 185
5. Choose the intersection point of axis A and Axis 1 as shown in graphic.
ATTENTION!
The storeys have to be positioned correctly superposed. Therfor you have to search a
adjustment point which is obvious in all drawings.
(e.g.: Axis intersection points, Shafts, Elevator...)
6. Create a new drawing and insert the copied planview with the right mouse
button and 'Paste'.
To determine the insertion point enter '0,0,0' in the comand bar and confirm
with Return.
Create a new sub directory with the name 'Plans' in directory
'C:\Programs\AX3000\K_Data\DWG' and save your new created drawing
under the name BF.dwg
7. Repeat the explained process for the following storeys of the drawing
Demoplan.dwg:
Ground floor - Save name: GF.dwg

1st Upper floor - Save name: 1stUF.dwg
2nd Upper floor - Save name: 2ndUF.dwg
3rd Upper floor - Save name: 3rdUF.dwg
4th Upper floor - Save name: 4thUF.dwg
Ground floor - Save name: GF.dwg
ATTENTION!
At the sections the zero point have to be defined at the intersection point of the
axis A and at floor height '0'.
Section A-A - Save name: Section A-A.dwg

Section B-B - Saver name: Section B-B.dwg

11.2 XRef step 2

HINT:
Create a new layer for each XRef and put each XRef on another layer to fade
them in and out comfortable.
If you start the layer names with underline (e.g.: _GF) they will be sorted and
placed at the start.
1. Open a new drawing and activate the function 'Insert XRef'.
2. Change to path: 'C:\Programs\AX3000\K_Data\DWG\Plans' and open the

drawing
BF.dwg.
In our example you can check the heights in the drawing Section A-A.dwg.

3. In the next dialog keep care to set 'No path' as path type and enter the Z-
coordinate of the Insertion point corresponding to the heights in the drawing
Section A-A.dwg. (Attention: Mind the Dimension unit!)
Confirm with 'OK'.
4. Repeat this steps for the following further planviews in the directory plans:
GF.dwg
1stUF.dwg
2ndUF.dwg
3rdUF.dwg
4thUF.dwg
(Attend the heights in the drawing Section A-A.dwg)
Save the so created drawing under a new name e.g. HVAC.dwg in the directory
plans.
11.3 XRef step 3

To insert sections correctly do the following:
1. Open the drawing TGA.dwg.

To insert the section vertical and not horizontal into the drawing HVAC.dwg
change to the right view before.
We need the section A-A frontal view.

ATTENTION!
The UCS has to be set to 'FRONT' (obvious in UCSII Toolbox)

like in graphic.
HINT:
Create a new layer for each XRef and put each XRef on another layer to fade
them in and out comfortable.
If you start the layer names with underline (e.g.: _GF) they will be sorted and
placed at the start.
2. Insert the section A-A with the function 'Insert XRef'.

3. Keep care to enter 'no path' as path type in the next dialog.
Confirm with 'OK'.
4. The section has been faded in on screen like in graphic.

(Isometrical view south east)

5. Change the view to 'Lateral view from the right'.

The UCS has to be set to 'Right' (obvious in UCSII Toolbox) like in graphic.
6. Insert the section B-B with the function 'insert XRef'.
7. Keep care to enter 'no path' as path type in the next dialog.
Confirm with 'OK'.

8. The section has been faded in on screen like in graphic.

(Isometrical view south east)
11.4 XRef step 4

All storeys and sections are faded in in the drawing HVAC.dwg.
So a clear workflow is nearly impossible therfor we have to
organize them.
Therfor several possibilities exist:
Fade out all trades and sections which should not be shown.
But with this solution you have to freeze / unfreeze different layers continuous.
The second solution which you can use is to define the visible section over the
clip planes.
In the model section one clip plane per viewing window is viewable.
We always have to change / edit this clip planes because

in our example 6 plan views and 2 sections are integrated .
With the layouts you have the possibility to create a separate layout for the
particular storey.
Afterwards you can plot this layout directly.

For our example we have to create a layout per storey and section.
In these layouts only the defined height- or depth section is visible.
The model section can be used for the entire overview of all storeys.
With the layouts you can work in the model section also, so the workflow
is much easier.
Furthermore additional views and isometrics can be created in the layout
always.
1. Change to Layout1.
Rename Layout 1 to BF.

(Right click on Layout1 - Rename)
Change to the model section.

Therfor doubleclick into the viewing window or click
onto PAPER in the status bar.
Change the view in the viewing window to 'topview'.
To only show the basement in the layout CL there are 2 variants:

2. Variant 1:
(Single plan view fade in manually)

Activate the function 3D adjust clip planes.
To activate the foreside section level click onto the button .

To activate the posterior section level click onto the button .
Attention!
The clip function will only be shown graphically if these both buttons are
activated.
If no changes on the drawing appear one of these buttons is not activated.
To move the foreside section level click onto the button

and move the black line.
To move the posterior section level click onto the button

and move the green line.
To move the foreside and posterior section level together click onto the
button and move the green and the black line together.
In AutoCAD 2005 you can move the view with the Icon or by pressing the
middle mouse button.
You can zoom in and out the view with the Icon or by scrolling with the
scroll dial.
Now you can position the green line in that kind that it is marginal over the
basement (on our view below is above and above is below so the green line
symbolizes the below level and we want to see below the floor of the basement.
(e.g.: to see the heating pipes in the floor)
and the black line marginal over the ground floor.
(So we are able to see all marginal things below the ceiling of the basement
e.g.: Ventilation ducts).

ATTENTION!
When you exit the function clip planes the function 3D orbit is active.
Exit this function also with 'ESC' to continue correctly.
Variant 2:
(Single plan view fade in with height input)

Activate the Preferences window by clicking onto Change / Preferences.

Activate the function clip planes.
When we assume a ceiling thickness of 30cm according to our drawing and we

want to activate the sight area from lower edge ceiling to lower edge ceiling
for all storeys, we have to enter the following sight areas:
Basement: -3600 (posterior section) to -300 (foreside section)

Ground floor: -300 to 3300
1st Upper floor: 3300 to 6900
2nd Upper floor: 6900 to 10500
3rd Upper floor: 10500 to 14100
4th Upper floor: 14300 to 20000.
Attention:
The foreside and the posterior section area will be entered relative to the target
height therfor Target Z have to be set to 0.
ATTENTION!
When you exit the function clip planes the function 3D orbit is active.
Exit this function also with 'ESC' to continue correctly.
3. Hint:
To remove maybe disturbing layers of the sections you have to freeze them with
the function 'Freeze in actual viewing window' (Layer management).
With this function the layer will be faded out in the actual view only but it still
will
remain faded in in all other views and the model section.
4. Afterwards the scale for the actual viewing window can be defined naturally
and you can lock the viewing window. So all settings are locked and you can not
change them anymore.
Attention:
You have to unlock the locked viewing window for additional changes.
5. Repeat these steps to create a further view for the viewing of another storey or
to create one or more views for (a) storey(s) in a new layout.
Hint:
When the viewing windows are locked you are able to work in the now height
limited defined layouts very comfortable and clearly.
It is important to change only from the layout into the model section.
