Some exciting features of new Block Palette in AutoCAD 2020

In this exclusive autocad video tutorial, Lynn Allen provides some vital information on new block palette in AutoCAD 2020.

The new Blocks palette simplifies the process to insert blocks into your drawings along with visual galleries as well as filter for the perfect block required. Now, the users don’t have search through puzzling block names in a long drop-down list.

The Blocks palette maintains a list of the blocks which are utilized in recent times. Therefore, you don’t need to recall what drawings they were situated.

The Insert dialog box is completely revamped with visual thumbnails for getting a superior preview of existing blocks to insert. The palette contains three tabs: Current Drawing, Recent, and Other Drawing.

The Current Drawing tab demonstrates all the block definitions in the existing drawing either as icons or as a list.

The Recent tab demonstrates the blocks which were inserted in recent times either as icons or a list, 
irrespective of the existing drawing. These stay among drawings and sessions. (A block can be removed from this tab by right-clicking the block and selecting Remove from Recent List.)

The Other Drawing tab offers a way of navigating to folders from which the drawings can be selected either to insert as blocks or to select from the blocks specified in those drawings. These drawings and blocks also stay among drawings and sessions.

The top of the palette contains various controls along with a field for providing wildcard filters to the block names, and various options for different thumbnail sizes and list styles.

For online demonstration of this exclusive tools, go through the following video tutorial.

How to design a 3D house in AutoCAD

In this exclusive AutoCAD tutorial, you will learn how to use AutoCAD to make a complete 3D house from 2D plan.

The different types of useful AutoCAD commands are used in this tutorial which are given below :-

UN (unit command) – It manages the accuracy and display formats toward coordinates, distances and angles.

DIM (dimension style manager) – It makes several dimensions and types of dimensions with a single command. It is possible to select objects or points on objects to dimension, and then click to set the dimension line.

Rectang (create a rectangle) – It is used to form a rectangular polyline from given rectangle parameters (length, width, rotation) and type of corners (fillet, chamfer, or square).

PLINE (select poly line tool) – It is applied to produce a 2D polyline, a single object that is made of line and arc segments.

LINE (to draw line) – It is utilized to make a wide array of adjacent line segments. Every segment belongs to a line object that is editable independently.

OFFSET – It is applied to create parallel or concentric copies of lines, polylines, circles, arcs, or splines).

TRIM (modify existing objects) – It is applied to trim objects to comply with the edges of other objects.

MI (mirror objects) – It is applied to generate a mirrored copy of a selected object.

COPY (to copy any object) – It is used to copy objects to a specific distance in a specified direction.

STRETCH – It is employed to stretch objects passed by a selection window or polygon. STRETCH only moves the vertices and endpoints located inside the crossing selection.

ROTATE – It is used to rotate selected objects around a base point to an absolute angle.

MOVE – It allows to move objects to a specified distance in a specified direction. The objects are moved accurately with coordinates, grid snaps, object snaps, and other tools .

An exclusive tutorial on rooms in Revit

In this exclusive revit tutorial, you will get details about rooms in Revit like location of rooms in your projects, how the rooms can be presented in a superior way with colors, how the information can be pulled out from your model to obtain information (area, perimeter, finishes etc.) concerning your rooms.

Get some useful notes on rooms in Revit :-

Open a plan view and apply the Room tool to arrange rooms in the building model.

Automatically set rooms in all closed and bounded areas on the current level.

By default, rooms are never demonstrated in plan views and section views. However, it is possible to modify the visibility/graphic settings to generate rooms and their reference lines observable in these views.

It is possible to copy rooms from one phase to the next to retain their properties.

In order to allocate information regarding the rooms and spaces in a model, an architect and a mechanical engineer have to utilize linked models or worksharing.

Revit employs room boundaries while measuring the area, perimeter, and volume of a room.

Revit can work out the area and volume of rooms and demonstrate the information in schedules and tags.

To get more details, go through the following Revit video tutorial.
