The Create Cut Sheet command automates the process of generating a cut sheet by extracting essential views—top, front, right, and 3D—from selected elements such as beams, columns, ducts, and pipes. These views are then placed on a newly created sheet, allowing users to customize the title block, view naming, and scale settings to match project requirements. This automation saves time and ensures consistency in project documentation.
Features
Select Elements for Cut Sheets
With this command, users can select specific geometric elements, such as structural or MEP components, to generate cut sheets. Whether working with beams, columns, ducts, or pipes, the tool efficiently extracts views to document these elements clearly.
Customizable Title Block Selection
Users can choose a title block that best fits their documentation standards. This ensures that generated cut sheets maintain a professional and consistent format across different project deliverables.
Adjustable View Scale
To meet different detailing requirements, the command allows users to set a preferred scale for the extracted views. Whether working with 1:50, 1:100, or any custom scale, users can control the level of detail displayed on the cut sheet.
Flexible View Naming
For better organization, users can customize the names of each generated view. The top, front, right, and 3D views can be renamed according to specific project needs, making it easier to identify and reference elements in documentation.
Use Cases
Structural Detailing
Engineers and designers can quickly create detailed cut sheets for beams, columns, and other structural components, ensuring that all critical views are accurately placed on a standardized sheet for reference.
MEP Coordination
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) professionals can generate cut sheets for ducts, pipes, and mechanical components, aiding in clash detection and seamless coordination between disciplines.
Architectural Documentation
Architects can use this command to develop organized sheets for walls, doors, and façade elements, ensuring that all necessary views are presented in a clear and structured format for project documentation.
