AutoCad 3D :: Windows In Tool Pallets Covered By Solid Hatch In Walls When Laying Out Floor Plan
Oct 3, 2013
I've always layout my floor plans three dimensional with the tools pallets commands such as walls, rails, door, windows & ect. I always have my walls pre-hatched with the solid pattern which is really effective to the floor plan. Normally when I put windows in the wall the window is clearly shown without the hatch in the wall but for some reason my wall's hatch started covering the windows and I can't seem to solve this problem.

I just tried to do a solid hatch I was filling some walls in plan. No matter how hard I tried it wouldn't let me do it. I didn't get any message asking if I had closed boundry etc. I have tried again a few times and no good. I rebooted computer, just in case, but still no good. I was doing solid hatching just the other day and am doing nothing different.

Revit 2012.
I can not select the walls and windows on the floor plan, but can select everything else like the dim,text, section marks, etc.
I also can choose the walls of the first floor, if they are used as the underlay of the second floor. However, when I am in the first floor plan view, I can not.

Is there a way to get roof beams/windows/etc to show as dash-dot in floor plan without having to make changes in every family or for every new object?

How to solve this problem of 'Flattening a large 3d model (hospital ground floor) to a 2d floor plan drawing'. The 3d model was made in Rhino and I saved it as a .dwg file because Rhino kept crashing with the command 'make 2d' (file too large maybe :/).
I don't know AutoCAD 3d so now, I'm trying to just change the line layers and eventually plot it all, but sometimes when I save the progress.... AutoCAD will delete sections of my work sometimes :/

I want to know how do professionals lay the switches and sockets at pre defined distances from reference points on large scale drawings?
hopefully the answer will teach me more about placing objects quickly by using lesser no of steps.

finding out the process from start to finish, with the finishing product being in autocad. Would a architect provide you with a drawn floor plan and then you would draw it up in auto cad?

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)

having several simple (AuoCAD Architecture) DWG room floor plans, based on basic 2D lines, etc, I am searching for a possibility to make them ready for 3D (for e.g. converting lines to wall objects with default height, etc).
Are there any common tools specialized on this issue?
Or would it make sense to build for e.g. a VBA tool to support the CAD technician for repetitive tasks, like extrusions, in order to goal 3D, without having to draw everything (new) from scratch.

I already learned how to draw a plan of walls in autocad11 and make sure they have the desired height, so I can now draw a whole floor or story. But I do not know how to draw the one above it or under it.

I am working with architectural floor plans in AutoCAD 2013 trying to get all of the room name / number annotations uniform. The drawing is a compilation of a many different drawings created by different architects at different times, so the room numbers are not the same size.
I have all of the room names on their own layer and all of the room numbers on their own layer. Each name / number is a block. Is there a way for me to easily get all of the text the same size? So far the only way I have figured out to do this is using the "scale" function on each individual text block, this is not ideal as there are thousands of rooms...

I have created room tags and would like to use the floor plan (with room names) as Xref. Is there a way I can locate the room names in one location per room on the main floor plan and then relocate the room names on the reflected ceiling plan and NOT move the room name on the main floor plan?

I am trying to verify the actual area of a floor plan however when I "list" the polyline of the floor plan, I am getting two different figure when opened in Autocad 2012 and LT 2011. For instance, the area calculated in autocad 2012 is 900sqm vs LT 2011 is 850sqm.
It is only for this particular file that has this discrepancy. Other files I have tried gave the same area between the two versions. We have the setting setup as the same in terms of units etc.

I am trying to bind a floor plan into a drawing an I get the error: at least one of the specified xrefs failed to bind due to a problem with a proxy object. The floor plan was created by an outside company and we did the electrical engineering. Now that our files are due to the customer, i have to get our drawings to bind.

I'm new to AutoCAD and I'm trying to scale a floor plan (the outer edge is the land perimeter). I have tried just about everything I could find on the Internet but can't seem to get it to work. I attached a copy for reference.
Basically I'm trying to scale it at 6.85 x 11 meters so that it will be accurate.

I am trying to find a way to that I can very quickly measure the remaining square footage on a floor plan and/or equipment cabinet on a regular base. I have been working with AutoCAD for over 10 years so I am well aware of the typical command such as Distance, Measure & Area. I am wondering if with the latest AutoCAD 2013 there is a new command to do this faster.

I'm using AutoCAD 2010, working with a drawing created by someone else. I'm completely green with AutoCAD -- never used 2D CAD of any kind before. (I do have 15 year of experience with 3D CAD, but that's not much use to me now!)
The drawing is a shop floor plan, with each piece of a equipment as a block. I am moving or copying these blocks, sometimes to new layers. Sometimes, after I've moved a block to a new layer, I can no longer rotate it. The rotate command seems to work, but nothing happens.
Here's what I've tried so far:
* Checked if the layer is locked. (It's not; no layers are locked.)
* Tested other blocks. (They behave normally.)
* Toggled ortho mode on and off. (No change.)
* Closed and re-opened the file. (No change.)
* Closed and re-opened AutoCAD. (No change.)
* Rebooted. (No change.)
One guy took my drawing, "exploded the blocks" (whatever that means), and gave it back to me. The blocks would then rotate but, as soon as I started working with another one the same thing happened.

I know how to create a block and all that is fine, but looking for detailed simple lesson on how to create a Attribute. ( I guess thats what they are called). For instance, drawing a floor plan with different room names and etc, I know there is a way to make a circle or polygon, or square and then when it is inserted in the drawing, you just have to type the new name of the room, or the window symbol, or door number and etc.
By the way, I am using a student version of AutoCAD 2010. Also, if you could also add the keyboard shortcut alias's too would be a great deal.
