proiect: conform standardului de birou sau specific proiectului. In
general, se utilizeaza standardul biroului.
Birou:
Alegeti aceasta optiune daca doriti ca mai multe proiecte din acelasi
birou sa foloseasca aceleasi setari (pentru hasuri, tipuri de linie etc).
Daca lucrati in retea, standardul biroului este acelasi pe toate posturile
de lucru si poate fi modificat doar de utilizatorii cu drepturi speciale.
Proiect:
Alegeti acesta optiune daca doriti ca setarile, ex.: pentru hasuri si/sau
motive, sa fie aplicate doar pentru proiectul curent (caz in care vor fi

Notiune de desene
In Allplan, proiectarea si procesul de creare a datelor se face in desene.
Acestea sunt echivalentul foitelor de calc utilizate in proiectarea clasica.
Desenele pot fi utilizate pentru structurarea proiectului. In termeni IT,
un desen este un fisier salvat pe hard disk. Puteti afisa si edita pana la 60
de desene in acelasi timp cu alte cuvinte puteti deschide simultan
maxim 60 de desene. Un proiect poate contine pana la 6000 de desene.
Atunci cand lucrati cu layere, elementele individuale alea cladirii (pereti,
scari, etichete etc.) sunt desenate in fisiere separate si suprapuse ca niste
foite de calc.

Pentru modificarea desenelor, aceste trebuie sa fie activate (deschise).


Aceasta operatiune se efectueaza din fereastra de dialog Deschidere
fisiere proiect: Deschidere proiect: desene din structura mape/cladire.

si/sau pasive.

Desen pasiv

Elementele din desenele pasive sunt vizibile dar nu pot fi modificate.


In
Optiuni, puteti configura modul de afisare a elementelor din
desenele pasive utilizand o singura culoare. Desenele goale nu pot fi
pasive.

Inactiv

Elementele din desenele inactive nu sunt vizibile.

Desen gol

Desenele goale nu au simbolul corespunzator datelor.

Desen atribuit temporar

Desenele pot fi atribuite temporar mapelor; aceasta atribuire este


anulata in momentul in care deschideti alta mapa.

Probleme des intalnite

Allplan 2008

Allplan 2008 ofera doua optiuni diferite pentru organizarea desenelor:


Structura de mape si
Structura cladirii.
Puteti utiliza in paralel aceste doua structuri. Structura cladirii este utila
in mod special pentru crearea unei structuri logice a cladirii.
Deoarece exercitiile din acest tutorial nu se bazeaza unul pe celalalt, veti
utiliza cate un desen pentru fiecare exercitiu. Veti utiliza structura de
mape.

Symbols
Symbols are design entities that you can use whenever you need.
Symbols automatically adapt to the scale of the drawing file. They
can be addressed (click with the middle and left mouse buttons) and
modified as a single entity. You can alter symbols and save them
using another name.
Symbols are often used for drawings and other common
components. In time, you will find that you develop your own
extensive symbol libraries for title blocks, fixtures, equipment etc.
that you can use time and again.

Symbol catalogs
Symbols are managed in symbol catalogs. Each sub-folder can
contain a large number of symbols. Using the ProjectPilot, you can
also copy, delete and rename them.
Sub-folders are assigned to libraries.
Office: This folder contains the offices standard libraries and
sub-folders. The data in this folder is available to the entire office:
Standalone: for all the local projects,
Network: for all local and remote users and projects. Only the
system administrator can store and manage symbols.
Project: The catalogs in this path belong to a specific project and are
only available in that project.
Private: The catalogs in this path belong to the user that is currently
logged on and cannot be accessed by other users in a network.
If you are not keen on making your own symbol catalog, you can
use the extensive symbol catalogs available from Nemetschek.

Exercise 7: Rietveld chair

Allplan 2008

Design 2D elements
First design the profile and elevation of the chair in plan using the
Rectangle and Line drafting tools. As you are already familiar with
these tools from the previous exercises, you will find that designing
these 2D elements is not difficult. For this reason, not every step of
the exercises that follow is described in detail.

To draw the cross-section and profile of the chair in


plan

1 Click
Open on a Project-Specific Basis, select the Fileset
structure tab and open an empty drawing file. Enter Rietveld
chair for the name and close all the other drawing files.

Convert 2D elements to 3D
The elements you have drawn are 2D entities. You need to convert
them to 3D in order to create the chair as a 3D object. This is done in
the 3D Modeling module.

To convert 2D entities to 3D

163

The selected elements are combined to make a single 3D element


which can then be addressed as a single entity. As the
cross-section and the profile are required, you need to select each
element separately.
Tip: When you convert
circles, ellipses etc., you can
specify how many edges are
used to approximate a full
circle.

4 Select the profile of the chair by enclosing it in a selection


rectangle with the left mouse button (see below).
5 To convert the elevation view of the chair to 3D, enclose it in a
selection rectangle with the left mouse button (see below).

6 To get an impression of how the elements look in 3D, click


3 Viewports on the Window menu.
Now you can see the elements in plan, isometric and elevation
view.

Rotate 3D elements
The 3D elements are still flat on the floor" (xy plane). The next step
is to rotate the 3D elements in space. The difference between this and
rotating elements in 2D is that you can define an axis of rotation
which lies freely in space (in 2D: you can only enter a point of
rotation).

To rotate 3D elements
The

3D Modeling module is still active.

Rotate 3D Elements (Change area) and click the


1 Click
elevation of the chair in plan view.
Tip: As you have converted
the 2D entities to a single 3D
element, you do not need to
enclose the entire elevation
view in a selection rectangle.
Rather, all you need to do is
click a point of the element.

The element is displayed in the selection color.


Now Allplan 2008 prompts you to specify an axis of

rotation.

2 Define the bottom line of the chairs elevation view as the axis of
rotation. First click the left point of the line. The sequence in
which you enter the points is important for entering the angle
later.
3 Click the right point of the line. This defines the axis of rotation.




166

Tip: You can use the right


hand rule' to determine the
positive direction of the
rotation angle:
point the thumb of your right
hand in the direction of the
rotation axis. Your fingers will
indicate the positive direction
of rotation.

Exercise 7: Rietveld chair

Allplan 2008

4 The elevation view is to be rotated upwards by 90 degrees.


Enter 90 and press Enter to confirm.
In plan, the rotated elevation view of the chair should only be
visible as a straight line (see below).
5 Next, rotate the profile of the chair. Click it.
6 Define the axis of rotation as shown below and pay attention to
the sequence in which you enter the points: first click the top
point.




7 Enter the angle of rotation: 90.

You will now use the 3D elements to create the chair as a polyline
sweep solid. Next, you will design the opening in the back of the
chair. To do this, you will draw a 3D solid (box) which will then be
subtracted from the back of the chair.

Create polyline sweep solid


The next exercise involves creating the chair as a polyline sweep
solid. A polyline sweep solid is created based on a profile (outline),
which is swept along a path to form the new solid. You will use the
profile of the chair as the outline and the elevation view as the path.

To create a polyline sweep solid


The
3D Modeling module is still active.
3 Viewports should be active.
1 Click

Polyline Sweep Solid (Create area).

2 To define the path for the polyline sweep solid, click the elevation
of the chair in isometric view (see below).
3 To define the profile for the polyline sweep solid, click the profile
of the chair in isometric view.

4 When no torsion is desired, you can configure the program to


correct it. In this example, torsion does not need to be corrected.
Consequently, click No.

The polyline sweep solid is created, the path is deleted.

Define work plane and create 3D box


The chair is still missing the opening in its back. You will start by
creating it as a box. To facilitate the procedure of positioning the
box in the sloping back of the chair, you will define a work plane
(= user-defined coordinate system) whose x and y axes are parallel
to the edges of the back of the chair. This allows you to draw in the
work plane as if you were working in plan.

To define a work plane and create a 3D box


The
3D Modeling module is still active.
3 Viewports should be active.
1 Click to activate the viewport with the plan view (the window on
