Patterns and Trace 8.5.2

➜ The following is a step-by-step guide to using further Sketching functions, including Patterns and Trace, to create a Layout Plan.

How to use Patterns and Trace step-by step

Use Trace

  1.  To quickly sketch a rectangular figure, select Trace from the Sketching Functions menu. See also: Sketching functions Overview
  2.  Tap on the map screen to create a number of points.
  3. Tap Close Figure  to complete the shape. 
  4.  Scale the sketch by applying dimensions to each line.
  5. To align the sketch to an existing "orientation line" tap . Then select two points or a line to apply orientation.
  6.  Tap  to complete the Trace workflow.

 Use Patterns

  1. To apply anchor bolt layout patterns to points, select Patterns from the Sketching Functions menu. See also: Sketching functions Overview
  2.  In the Pattern Wizard, select Anchor Bolts.
    The Anchor Bolts Wizard opens.
  3. Select the Anchor Bolts pattern.
  4. Apply the relevant dimensions to each line, then tap the next Wizard step to proceed.
  5.  In the next step select the handle location, which defines where the pattern will sit in relation to the existing point.
  6. To rotate the point pattern aligned to a certain line or angle, select two points or the relevant line.
     Tap  to proceed to the next wizard step.
    ➜ If no special orientation is needed, skip this step.
  7.  In the final Wizard step, select the points that the pattern shall be applied to.
     Tap to complete the wizard.


    ➜  Instead of creating anchor bolt layout patterns the software also allows easy creation of Bay Windows: 
    In the Pattern Wizard, select Bay Windows. In the next step select the Bay Window pattern. Apply the relevant dimensions to each line, then tap the next Wizard step to proceed.
    Finally, select the line that the Bay Window pattern shall apply to.
     
    Optionally, change the start-end direction of the line and/or define whether the pattern shall be applied to the left or right side of the line .
