Slightly overlapping the label for Level 2 because they are relatively close. Open the South elevation view again, and you’ll notice that the label for Level 2B is Levels, these methods can be applied to grids as well. Remember that although this exercise utilizes The 2D extents for one of the levels you copied. Let’s continue with the exercise from the section “Creating and Duplicating Levels” and edit Movement as your project is starting to develop. As a matter of fact, you’ll often constrain or pin datum objects in order to restrict their And if you move references, the elements associated with them will If you move a grid, structural elementsĪre going to relocate. If you moveĪ level, walls and furniture are going to move accordingly. When you move a datum object, one way or another, content is going to respond. This means that the grid datum would still be visible in both levels, even though it looks like it In Figure 2.28, for example,the 3D extent of grid line 1 crosses both Level 1 and Level 2, but the 2D extent is above Level 2. You can use the 3D and 2D extents to your liking in any view. Grid lines 3 and 4 are not visible on Levels 3 and 4 because their 3D extents are not intersecting those levels The elevation in Figure 2.27 shows four grids and four levels. We will explore this further in an exercise later in this section.ĭatum objects are visible only in views that intersect their 3D extents. You can then modify the 2D extents of the datum object without affecting the 3D extents. If you want to adjust the 2D extents of your datum in only the current view, click the 3D icon and it will change to 2D.

The analytic grip is shown as an open circle and the indicator will display as 3D, as shown in Figure 2.26. The analytic grips control the extents of the datumĪcross the entire project and all views. These extents are expressed as grips that are shown at the endpoints of the grids and levels in plans, sections, and elevations.

Datum objects-specifi cally grids and levels-have two types of extents: 3D (analytic) and 2D (graphic).
