How to transform PDF underlays to AutoCAD Objects

Lynn Allen, Cadalyst contributing editor and Autodesk Technical Evangelist , presents a useful video for AutoCAD professionals. In this video tutorial, Allen provides some useful cad tips to transform PDF files (underlay) to AutoCAD objects.

So, the AutoCAD users can get rid of time consuming tracing on top of PDFs to reproduce objects or draw it from the beginning.

How to import a specific area from a PDF Underlay

1. Choose the PDF underlay.
2. From the PDF Underlay contextual tab, click Import as Objects.
3. At the prompt, click two diagonal points which a rectangular crossing area, or select from one of the other options.

A crossing area is equivalent to a crossing selection. The settings option demonstrates a dialog box in which you can specify the types of objects to import, customization of layers, either the imported objects should be imported as a block, and various other options.

4. Decide whether you desire to retain, separate, or unload the attached PDF once the selected objects are imported.

The specific area of the attached PDF is imported into the drawing as AutoCAD objects.

How segmentation of precast walls are done automatically in Revit

This Revit video tutorial sheds light on automatic segmentation of precast walls in Revit. With split command it is possible to obtain wall parts, lifters, bushing and connections grouped automatically into a precast assembly.

Segmentation of precast walls is performed automatically or manually. Prior to start the automatic segmentation, the Configuration Settings should be examined and modified.

The Configuration settings are imported or exported through XML files to distribute the rules over various users without any difficulty, functioning on the similar or various projects.

Lifters, Bracing Inserts and Connections are arranged on the part tab. Here, the types of elements to be utilized and their positions inside precast assemblies are determined.

All the connections and built-in parts belong to Revit families and can be adjusted as per the needs of the project.

On the Segmentation Tab, the rules for splitting are set on the basis of fabrication, transportation or other functional requirements.

For the segmentation of walls, all the walls should be selected and split command should be pressed to form the precast wall assemblies. Lifters, bushings and connection are formed as per the rules from the Configuration settings.

Once the wall segmentation is completed, both the original components and parts (which are just formed) are visible.

The parts are demonstrated to review the effect of the Split in an efficient manner.

Evaluate the original components at any time by toggling among various LODs (Level of Development) smoothly.

Revit Rendering Techniques

This Revit tutorial provides some useful tricks on how to save huge time in your rendering process (for both interior and exterior rendering) with Autodesk Revit Architecture and make superior 3D graphics. The tutorial also focuses on how to accomplish an Autodesk 360 rendering.

This rendering method can be utilized for all your draft rendering views and a few final renderings can be selected for in-product Revit rendering.

Rendering in Autodesk A360 is specifically designed for the students and educators. This software can be used to generate powerful, near-photorealistic visualizations in the cloud through virtually infinite computing power.

Some exciting features:-

Photorealistic rendering: Create spectacular, superior-quality renderings from designs and models with cloud rendering in A360 (US site).

Batch rendering management: Cloud rendering in A360 deals with big batches of rendering jobs in quickest possible time needed on your desktop.

Panoramas, solar studies and illuminance: Accomplish solar study renderings and steer through interactive panoramas. Produce illuminance simulations. Relate environments to rendered scenes.

Interactive Rendering Beta: A real-time photorealistic-rendering surrounding that produces making stunning images and phonograph animations easily.
