FENCES 19 eKIT OVERVIEW |
Introduction
Thank you for your interest in the Fences eKit
by ARCHIdigm. Before you decide to purchase this product we would like
to inform you about what you get and how it works so you don't end up buying
something you don't want.This kit is
not a software product and it does not do anything on its own.. It is a library of Object Styles and MvBlocks designed
exclusively for Autodesk®'s
AutoCAD Architecture 2017 and up CAD
program.
AutoCAD Architecture has no native Object
Styles for Fences so we utilized Railing Styles, Curtain Wall Styles, Wall
Styles and anything else we could manipulate into producing fence-like
solutions. Also included with this kit: numerous parts to create your
own fence styles, lots of gates (based on Door Styles) and guardrails.
New for Fences 19 eKit: fixed two
broken gate styles, added one new brick column, added one new fence style
with brick base and metal railing and added two new louvered equipment
screen styles.

The Content
Layout

This product has been designed to work entirely within AutoCAD
Architecture's Content Browser. Each product comes as a Catalog
within which you will find Tool Palettes and Tool Catalogs organizing
the various components found within the product.
The list of fence
types is broken into three primary categories: Metal, Wood and
Masonry. Within each of these categories are standard
configurations that you can use directly or as templates for your own
variations. For Post and Rail fences, for example, there are five
variations but you can easily copy and alter any of these to change
dimensions, number of rails or post profiles. For Masonry Column
fences, for example, there are two variations on large estate-like
configurations but you can easily create your own column designs and replace
the ones we included. Information on how to achieve such changes is
included in the Fences 19 User Guide. |

The Levels of Detail
Illustrated to
the right are some composite images of how we used ACA's default High,
Medium and Low Detail Display Representations to not only allow for a range
of presentation but a range of performance on your equipment.
Low Detail
The Low Detail Display Representation will affect the Plan and Model
Display Representations. Railing Styles, by default, display a single
line in Plan View under the Low Display Representation ( though you can add
more detail ) and we stuck with this approach but changed the linetype to
the "DashDot" or DashDotX2" types. In Model (3D) View you will find
that all Linework is simple and clean with all Properties managed "ByBlock"
which means you can set Color, for example, by the Layer or other means.
The Hidden and Shaded modes of the Model View are illustrated to the right.
Medium Detail
The Medium Detail Display Representation will affect the Plan and Model
Display Representations. For this Display Representation, we continue
to use the same Linetype as for the Low Detail Display Representation but
added the display of Columns. In Model View you will find Material
Linework such as Brick and Concrete Hatch Patterns set to Colors that match
the default Materials we assigned to the various Styles ( you can, of
course, change these settings). For the Shaded mode, you will
find Colors but no Materials ( which have been set for High Detail ).
High Detail
The High Detail Display Representation will also affect the Plan and
Model Display Representations. In Plan View you will find that we show
a bit more detail than in the Medium Detail Display Representation and no
Linetypes. For Model View you will find the same Linework as under the
Medium Detail Display Representation but under the Shaded mode of this View,
you will find Materials display ( if set to display on the Options dialog ).
We designed this Display Representation for Rendering purposes. Chain link fencing, for example, changes from lines
to a chain link material.

CAD
and IT Managers:
Some offices have highly customized template files with unique Display
Representations, Sets and Configurations that may not work automatically
with out kit.
We designed this kit for optimum performance using the default template
files that come with ACA but all that means is that we utilized the High,
Medium and Low Display Configurations. Because some of these Display
Representation are not Standard Display Representations they will be introduced automatically as will
all of the Material Definition Style Display Representation Overrides that
we had to use in order to produce Fence-like linework.The
Object Style files are devoid of undesirable Layers, Colors and Plot Styles.
With the exception of Material Definition Styles, that control Linetypes and
Colors for these Object Styles, all Properties have been set to "By
Block".
