AutoCAD Architecture :: Moving Doors Within Wall?

May 24, 2012

have trouble moving doors or windows within a wall?

I am trying to move a door so that the door is flush with a face of wall. The prompts in acad do not match the instructions. 

For instance;  select door, okay.  then from anchor panel select 'reposition within wall', okay a red line appears and prompt to 'select position on the opening'.  okay so i click the face or side of door jamb then select a reference point.  (guide says select point to measure to) and on and on.  Door never moves.

it should be; select door, select reposition in wall, select reference point (interior, exterior, midpoint), select the desired location.  Done. 

Instead it is select this that and the other , measure from here, select, click.click click.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Doors Move When Wall Trimmed Or Extended

Mar 6, 2013

This just started happening with 2013. The doors are no longer staying put when a wall is extended or trimmed.  Somehow they now move relative to exthe endpoint of the wall.  Happens with windows and openings as well.

Is there a new default setting I'm not aware of?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Exploding Doors / Window And Wall Objects - Colour

Jan 9, 2012

I'm trying to send a set of drawings for my consultant. They will be using it as a background for their mechanical and electrical drawings and they only need the 2d information. They want to be able to explode them and remove any items they don't need before switching all the layer colours to grey.

When they get the drawings and explode them the doors and walls explode onto the correct layer but the colour of those object and lines are now set to the actual color of the layer rather than colour "bylayer". The line actually take on the colour of the layer in the properties dialogue box. Therefore when they change the colour of the layer to grey the doors remain 'red'.

I would like the doors/walls to stay on their respective layers...AND their colour to be BYLAYER when exploded.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Wall Style Creation (Window To Cut Only One Portion Of Wall)

Dec 7, 2011

I'm attempting to create a wall style that has 2 components, a framed wall and a brick veneer.  What I would like to do is have this wall react a certain way when I insert a window.  Basically, I don't want the window to cut into the brick veneer, only the framing.

I have attached my attempt so far, and I have not figured out how to get the window to only cut the framed portion.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Doors Detaching From Walls?

Aug 11, 2011

On one of our drawings all of the doors (aparently except for one) detached from their host walls. The doors were still in their places, but un-anchored.  We can go through and re-anchor them, but that's a lot of work, especially since they get shifted to the point on the wall you pick to re-anchor them.

1) Is there an easy way to re-anchor them to their original location?

2) What caused this (so that we can avoid this in the future)?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Cannot See The Doors On Floor Plan

Jun 10, 2011

When I select the doors I want to use for my floor plan I can't see the picture of the door that I selected before and after I place it onto a wall, when you usually can. You can only see it on symmetric view, but not in a floor plan bird view, all you see is a gap in the wall (looks like the wall is split into two separate pieces). This only occurs for the doors, the rest of the design tools, I can see their pictures before and after, on the floor plan. I think maybe changed some settings, I'm not use. Maybe there is a way to set everything to deafult settings?

I'm using AutoCad Architecture 2011 (metric)

AutoCAD Architecture :: Scheduling Doors From Door Tag

Feb 20, 2011

Currently our door schedule populates when the doors are inserted into the drawing. I would like to know if I can set the schedule up so it populates when the door is tagged. Our doors are inserted into a base plan and that base plan is xrefed into various sheets.

The doors are tagged in one of these sheets and not the base plan. It takes too much time to stop and set up the schedule to schedule the doors across the xref for every project we do. I have read several articles but none of them explain how to schedule from the tag that I can see. I thought this was how the schedule was set up in a previous version.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Inserting Doors Offset And / Or Centered

Feb 8, 2012

I've just upgraded to ACA 2012.  I can see how to insert a door in either an offset "or" centered position, but not both.   In my previous version, the position could be set to "center / offset" which was an "and / or" option depending on the cursor location.  Is this option available in ACA 2012?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Aec Objects (doors And Windows) Are Detaching From Walls?

Dec 21, 2009

We have a house plan that has windows and doors of different types anchored to their walls. It seems that whenever someone is working in a file from the network that has the plan xrefed into it and the plan is opened to be modified by another user the windows and doors randomly detach from the walls. We're getting tired of going back in and reanchoring them.

(We're using Autocad Architecture 2009 on Vista)

AutoCAD Architecture :: Doors / Windows And Openings Fail To Display In 3d Model?

Mar 6, 2012

Okay so to start with I have a building with 2 staircores. Everything is drawn in 3d and I have drawn the 2 staircores as elements and subsequently Xrefed these elements into the relevant constructs and subsequently a 3D model view.

When I view the elements as a live drawing (ie. when I open the individual elements) the drawing views okay in plan and in 3D wireframe, hidden mode etc... no problem so far!

When the drawing is Xrefed into a construct and subsequently a 3D model all of the windows and doors disappear... but in 3d only - ie. viewed in plan mode they are fine. I have checked the display configurations in the constructs and views and they are all set to display these objects in the medium detail and high detail for the model and plan modes.

In 3d wireframe mode the windows and doors can be seen within the wall but the opening which they should create is non-existent!This occurs in teh construct and view drawings.

Here's the catch.... I have a 'West Staircore' and and 'East Staircore'. Both are drawn as individual elements. The West staircore is giving trouble, but the East is perfect. They were both set up using the same DWT file which means that the default display configuration settings should be identical.This is backed up by the fact that they view correctly in the live element drawings.

When they are both Xrefed into the same construct, one is fine and the other will not display in the 3D model!

AutoCAD Architecture :: Opening Older Version Of In 2012 - Doors And Walls

Feb 1, 2013

I am opening a file from 2004 and I am using AutoCAD Arch 2012. When I open the file everything is there, but the doors do not cut through the walls. The doors are still there but are not "anchored". Is there a way to fix this easily? I also lost everything out of my door schedule. I know I will get my schedule back when the doors get anchored back to the wall.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Openings / Window And Doors Stopped Cutting Walls

Feb 1, 2012

I have a model with 5 reference drawings. Everything has been going fine. I am making modifications in 2d wireframe view Then I change to realistic view and conceptual view and see that half of my windows have disappeared and some doors. I open up the first floor plan and see that most of my windows, doors, and openings are not cutting the walls. It just happened and now I cannot get them to anchor in the wall.I did purge, -purge R, audit, recover and closed and reopened the program. No Change!  What could have caused all of these objects to lose their anchor?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Snapping To Wall End

Apr 19, 2012

I used to be able to snap to the end of the linework that form the visual end or intersection of walls while grip dragging a wall of one style to another.  For example, using a wallstyle as a countertop, I'd be able to drag it to the corner of a room and use object snap to the intersection.  In ACA 2012, the object snap defaults to the justification plane of the wall even if that's not where the intersection snap is desired.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Wall Grips / Osnap

Mar 27, 2013

I quite often like to use the wall grips to adjust the length of a wall.  This works really well accept for the occasional situation were I want to snap to the face of another wall rather than the  justification line.  I know that I can snap to the face of a wall rather than the justification line because I have some files that it works fine in and other files that it does not work in.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Wall Tool Not Allowed?

May 16, 2012

I did a drawing in ACA2011 sent it to my remote office where I have ACLT for mac 2013 (trial).  Worked on the file,

had to explode the couple of walls I was editing, saved as 2011 or 2010 file.

When I open the file in ACA2011 I can not execute the wall tool.  This is the message received:

Command: _AecWallAdd Command not allowed because drawing contains objects from a newer version of this application.

The new objects would be lines.

How to group wall types together when scheduling a drawing?

I have multiple wall types within a drawing but scheduling produces multiple entries per type depending on length, only grouping them together when lengths are identical. All I need is a total length per wall type within the drawing.
