CTDOT CONNECT DDE GUIDE VOLUME 13 - CONTRACT PLANS PRODUCTION

   M.4.3 Detail Sheets from 2D Drawings

Description

This module will instruct users on how to create Miscellaneous Details from 2D graphics. Users will create a Sheet Model and a 2D Design Model in one DGN to compose what is needed to have different scaled details on one sheet. 

Objectives

• Create a Design Model and a Sheet Model to house the 2D Details.
• Dimension and Annotate using Annotation Scale.

1. Continue using the DGN file created in Volume 13 - M.4.1 General Plan Sheet. Create a new Sheet Model, using the Seed2D – CT BridgeSheet.dgn, Sheet seed file.

   

2. Create a new 2D Design Model, using the Seed2D – CT BridgeDesign.dgn, 2D Design seed file.

   

    

3. In the new 2D Design Model activate the CTDOT Workflow. On the Home tab, use the Placement, Manipulate and Modify tools to draft the line work for the Details. Multiple details can be placed in this design model as these will all be placed at their true size 1:1. For this exercise you will need to create at least 2 details. There will be no dimensioning or text placed in this model, all annotation will be in the Sheet Model that will reference the 2D design model’s line work.
4. In search type Detailing Symbol Styles. Select the result and the dialog box will open. Right click on Center Style and select Activate.
5. On the CTDOT Tab, Sheet Production section select Create Clipping Shape, this will set the correct level for the clipping shape. In the same section select the Place Named Boundary tool.

   

6. On the Place Named Boundary dialog box select the By Two Point icon, Name the Detail (DETAIL - TYPICAL PARAPET END) and make sure Create Drawing is on. Follow the prompts and place a shape around one of the details.

   On the Place Named Boundary dialog box set:

   Drawing Seed: Place Sheet Only (Named Boundary).

   Sheets: Select the Sheet Model created in step 1 of this section.

   Detail Scale: As needed.

   

    

7. The sheet Model will open, move the referenced detail to the desired location inside the sheet.
8. Open the 2D Design Model to create another Named Boundary.
9. Activate the Default Detailing Symbol Style.
10. On the CTDOT Tab, Sheet Production section select Create Clipping Shape, this will set the correct level for the clipping shape. In the same section select the Place Named Boundary tool.
11. On the Place named Boundary dialog box select the By Two Point icon, Name the Detail (SECTION – R-B 350 ATTACHMENT) and make sure Create Drawing is on. Follow the prompts and place a shape around another detail.

    On the Place Named Boundary dialog box set:

    Drawing Seed: Place Sheet Only (Named Boundary).

    Sheets: Select the Sheet Model created in step 1 of this section.

    Detail Scale: As needed.

    

     

12. The Sheet Model will open, move the referenced detail to the desired location inside the sheet.
13. Open the 2D Design Model to create another Named Boundary, assure the Named Boundary Element Template is active. Zoom in and place a circle around a portion of a detail. On the Place Named Boundary dialog box select the By Element icon. Give the detail a name (BOLT DETAIL). Use a Detail Scale to enlarge the size on the Sheet.

    On the Place Named Boundary dialog box set:

    Drawing Seed: Place Sheet Only (Named Boundary).

    Sheets: Select the Sheet Model created in step 1 of this section.

    Detail Scale: As needed.

    

     

14. In the Sheet Model place dimensions on both details (the full detail and the blown-up detail, notice they both dimension correctly even though they are two different sizes on the sheet.

    

15. Use the Section Call Out tool and place a Detailing Symbol to indicate cut section. Edit the text in the Bubble to indicate the Detail it is referring to.
16. To Create a Step or a Gap in a Section or Plan Callout do one of the following:

Right-click the callout and select Create Step from the pop-up menu or Right-click the callout and select Create Gap from the pop-up menu.
