Let's start getting some noting and labeling happening in our sections. So let's go over to the section drawing, and let's make our current layer to be A Anno text 48. And I'm just going to go to single line text, zoom into here, pick a point.
The height will be six inches, rotation angle of zero, caps lock is on. I want it to say bathroom, and I'm going to move this from there to there. I'm then going to copy it, ortho's on, from here over to the hallway, to the living room, to the dining, to the family.
I'm going to move the last up a bit, double click on it, family room, double click here, dining room, double click here, living room, double click here, hallway, control s to save. I'm just going to copy this text from the end of the floor, copy it to the intersection right here, move this to the right, copy here, from there to there, to there, and over to here, double click here, garage, double click here, laundry, double click here, living room, and double click here, patio, and move it. Control s to save, zoom dynamic, I'm going to go back over to this elevation, control s to save.
Now I'm a little bit bothered by the fact that this section symbol is right on top of my roof, so I'm going to do a move window, and move it up by 18 inches, and then I will extend to the circle my polyline, control s to save. Something else I'd like to do is to start putting some insulation in above the roof, because if you look at your keynotes, which is one of the areas we're going to be going next, that we're calling out insulation in the building. So I'm going to go on and make a medium my current layer, and I'm going to draw a line from here over to here.
Now, insulation has a line type that's called batting, and so I want to convert this line to a batting line type. So I'm first going to load the batting line type, go to line types, go to other, going to go to load, and I will slide down and choose batting, and go okay and okay. I will now choose the line, and I will assign it to be the batting line type.
This line looks pretty big, doesn't it? If I pick on the line and do a right button properties, you can see that it is using a line type scale factor of one. If I go format line type, you can see that I'm using my line type scale factor of 48 in the drawing. So some of the line types that AutoCAD creates are similar to the hatch patterns that it creates, in that the line type is not generated for one-to-one scaling.
Rather, I have to adjust it so that it has an appropriate presentation. If I were to pick on this line, do a right button, go back to properties, and if I were to say have a line type scale factor of.5, can you see how much smaller it's getting? I'm going to go back and give it a scale factor of.125, which is a little bit too small. If I type in.25, that's a little bit too large, so I'm going to go on and give it a scale factor of.2. Control-S to save.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to move that line, take ortho off, and I'm going to move it so that it's going right over that area. So what I'm telling people is that the insulation is above the roof. I'm going to move it over a bit more.
Again, this is representative. I'm now going to copy the line from here over to here, rotate, arbitrary base point 90 degrees, break, BR for break. This line, the first point, goes from here to here.
I'm going to move this segment over to here, copy it from here over to here, and then I'm just going to take it and go to the end, make it a little bit longer, move it back in, and move this one in ever so slightly. I have my running O-snap on, and so that's causing some problems for me. Control-S to save.
And then I'm going to also put insulation over here, copy the line from here, ortho off, and put it down over and through here, move it down. Now, what some people will do, just to make sure that people understand that this is representative, is that they might go break this line, the first point from here to here, break this line, the first point goes from here to here, so that you're showing segments that are going along. We have the roof insulation.
I'm also going to put some wall insulation in, so I'm just going to copy this line down, and again, escape, pick on it, let it be a little bit longer. Now again, what I could do here, since it's a wall, I can move it in more, pick on it, right button, go to properties, and give it a scale factor. I'm going to say for this, 0.125, so now the insulation is within the wall, and then I can say move the previous entity from there over to the left a little.
If I'd like MA for match properties, here's the source, here's the destination, and I can say move this segment from the end of here to the dot X of the end of the insulation here, YZ at, now it's in the wall. I'm just going to move it a little bit more to the right, just because I feel like being fussy with it, and then if I'd like MA for match properties, here's the source, here's the destination. If you're wondering why I'm making a different size for the walls as opposed to the ceiling, is that we typically have a different kind of insulation for the walls and the ceilings.
That's a different density, different R value. I'm going to control S to save, I'm going to take this line, delete it, and then I'm going to go edit, copy with base point, I'm going to choose an arbitrary base point, and grab a sample of each of those insulations, zoom dynamic, go over to my other section, control V, and pop it in right about here. Now, I'm going to move this segment from here, take ortho off, I will move it into the wall right there, and then I can go pick on it, go to the grip, and make it longer, control S to save, because I will have a typical note that says the insulation.
Now, I want the insulation to align itself with the pitch of the roof, so I'm going to copy this from here to here. I will use the align command, A-L-I-G-N, I want to align this, I'm going to say go from, align this end with this end, align this end with this end, enter to say I'm done. Now I have that alignment, I can move it to the left, I can mirror the last from the ridge, straight over, ortho's on, and then move this over to here, control S to save, I'm going to move this, I'm going to insulate above the laundry room, and I'm just going to pull it down so that it's within, and then I'm going to say copy last, copy this entity from here, put ortho on, I'm going to go on and insulate over the garage, because if you're living in a colder climate, it can be nice to have insulation in your garage, control S to save, and I'm going to put some insulation over here too, so I'm just going to copy this entity from here over to there, break this, my first point goes from here to here, break this, my first point goes from there down to there, move this to the left, little bit to the right, control S to save, back off, save the file, go back into the A302, reload the xref, and you can see that our notings are now being displayed.
If you would please get caught up to this point, then we'll start adding our keynotes, and we'll go on from there.
