6.6. Opening and wall scale factor

The View menu contains the following command to display the symbol of doors and windows on the floor plan with different scale factors :

 

 

You can specify too how walls are hatched independent of the scale factor of the whole drawing.

The abovementioned independence means that e.g. you print your drawing in 1:100 scale, while you set 1:50 for the scale of doors and windows, so these appear on the plan in more detail.

In the dialog box you can set:

I)Scale factor of doors and windows:

Doors and windows have a standard form of display in all scales. Whichever scale you apply to doors and windows, it does not affect their physical size, only the form of display.

ARCHLine.XPâoffers 5 scale factors to display doors and windows (1:20, 1:50, 1:100, 1:200, and 1:500).

 

II)Wall display

Walls are displayed with all their layers.

 

 

 

Walls are displayed with the hatch applied to the displayed layer.

 

 

 

Walls are displayed without layers and hatching.

 

Independent of the hatching applied to the wall, the outside layer of the building’s outside walls are hatched black, as it is displayed in the figure.
