The Location layer contains the “location
box” – an invisible
box containing the location
region record. The location
region record gives the drawing
elements location intelligence.
A location region record is
attached to this object that
contains the name of the floor
level that appears in the
Title Block. To change the
floor level name, simply edit
the record attached to this
object. |
 |
Also
on the Location layer are the Structure perimeter
and Area perimeter. The Structure
perimeter outlines the exterior
of the building and has a
structure region record attached
that provides the name of
the structure. The area perimeter
defines useable space within
the building. An area text
record is attached to this
object and will display the
buildings total useable space
when the area text layer is
on. |
 |
The Space layer
defines the interior of rooms,
corridors and other interior
spaces such as pipe chases
etc. Records attached to the
space region include ID, Space
region (location intelligence
for objects within the space
and definition of space) and
H –Area. Other records
available that you may wish
to attach include Volume,
Perimeter, and Age Info. |
 |
The Walls layer
contains the exterior, interior
and re-locatable walls. The
ID Record is attached to walls.
Other Records you may wish
to attach are Width (calculates
length) and Volume (calculates

 |
The Details layer
depicts details such as changes
in elevation (stairs, stages,
platforms, pits and support
columns). |
 |
The Area Text layer
contains a text icon to display
the area of the space the
icon resides in. The area
text icon is identical to
the text layer icon and can
be used to display any of
the fields from the space
region record or the note
record attached to the icon. |
 |
The Text layer
contains the text icon used
to display information from
the space region record of
the space below the text icon
or the note record attached
to the text icon. Since the
text icon displays information
from the space region it “sits
on”, moving the icon
to another space will change
the information displayed.
Any of the fields from the
space region may be displayed.
Typically used to display
space number and space use.
The labeling layer contains
the labeling icon used to
display user defined information
from the note record attached
to the icon. Copy the labeling
icon to areas you wish to
identify or explain and enter
the information to be displayed
in the note record attached
to the labeling icon. Note
that labeling icons are available
for each module layer from
the module palettes that will
turn on and off with the module
layers. |
 |
The Title Block layer contains the cardinal
direction orientation arrow,
the drawing scale and information
about the project and drawing.
Also included on this layer
is a “notes” record

of the drawing and is used
in the production process
of your drawing. |
