00:00.000 --> 00:05.640
Welcome back. We are going to go ahead and begin dimensioning our floor plan, and I'll

00:05.640 --> 00:10.320
just show you a couple of quick keyboard shortcuts to get you quickly into some of these

00:10.320 --> 00:17.440
dimension options. If you type DIM enter, you're going to go into this dimension tool.

00:17.440 --> 00:23.040
This is a rather new tool to AutoCAD, and it is useful in some cases. However, I like

00:23.040 --> 00:33.000
to automatically lock in to either linear or continue fairly often. If I type DIM linear

00:33.000 --> 00:42.740
L, it will automatically put me in the linear command. And if I type DIM C, it will start

00:42.740 --> 00:48.680
the DIM continue command. These are two of the commands we've used fairly often so far

00:48.680 --> 00:55.240
throughout this course. Before we get started, I also want to turn off my masonry layer,

00:55.240 --> 01:05.440
and so I will use LAY OFF. LAY OFF. I'll click on my masonry geometry, and it will turn

01:05.440 --> 01:12.000
off the layer for that geometry. Alright, now we can snap directly to our wall outline,

01:12.000 --> 01:17.460
which is represented here on the no plot layer, and represented in our wall geometry. In

01:17.460 --> 01:24.300
fact, I'm going to choose this no plot line, right click, draw order, send to back, and

01:24.300 --> 01:29.540
we'll be able to click directly on our wall geometry. I'll do a zoom extends, control

01:29.540 --> 01:33.920
us to save, and now I'm going to start with the dimensions. Again, I'm going to move

01:33.920 --> 01:40.700
rather quickly, and I might use the DIM L keyboard shortcut, or the DIM C keyboard shortcut.

01:40.700 --> 01:45.900
If you'd prefer, please go up to your annotate tab and choose the linear and continue dimension

01:45.900 --> 01:52.020
buttons from there. Okay, I'm going to start by zooming into my model, and choosing the

01:52.020 --> 02:00.820
largest dimensions on all four sides. I'll go linear, from this end point to this end point,

02:00.820 --> 02:06.340
and this represents the total height of my model. Here we can see 59 feet 7, and it is

02:06.340 --> 02:11.980
the correct height. I'll do it again, DIM linear, and I'll do the bottom of the model

02:11.980 --> 02:16.940
from here to here. Again, I'm snapping on the end point grips, but as soon as I hover

02:16.940 --> 02:23.700
over this magenta line, it'll show me that grip. Perfect, and there we see 60 feet 7. At

02:23.700 --> 02:29.300
the top of the model, linear, this one doesn't include the garage below, so it's a slightly

02:29.300 --> 02:36.700
shorter dimension, 55 feet 9, but it does go all the way across. This piece of the model

02:36.700 --> 02:43.940
is dimensioned down here, so I'll go linear here to here, and it simply goes up that

02:43.940 --> 02:48.340
high. This dimension going all the way to the top of the drawing doesn't make that much

02:48.340 --> 02:55.540
sense. I'll go linear one more time, and this one follows the same trend from here to

02:55.540 --> 03:03.340
here, out to the end. And that is 49 feet 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 inches. I'll do a zoom extents,

03:03.340 --> 03:08.260
control us to save, and now I can start filling out the dimensions for some of the smaller

03:08.260 --> 03:15.020
parts of my model, but I will focus on the big bump outs of the floor plan first. So here

03:15.020 --> 03:21.740
at the bottom of my model, I'll go linear here to here, choosing that second magenta line,

03:21.740 --> 03:29.860
and then I'll go DIM continue to this bump out, this bump out, and the width of the garage.

03:29.860 --> 03:37.860
Here to say I'm done. Now I'll continue with this elevation, the front elevation, and

03:37.860 --> 03:44.820
I will continue making all of the dimensions for this view. DIM linear, here to here, and

03:44.820 --> 03:53.540
I'll bring it to there. DIM continue to that window, enter to say I'm done. Escape escape

03:53.540 --> 04:02.340
DIM linear, here to here, out to that point. DIM continue to the window and to the wall, enter

04:02.340 --> 04:07.300
to say I'm done. Escape escape. Let's zoom way in and we'll work on the dimensions in this space.

04:08.660 --> 04:15.380
First this wall is dimensioned with a linear just to there, and then the front door and this wall

04:15.460 --> 04:24.020
are also dimensioned. Linear, the front door, DIM continue to the corner, enter to say I'm done,

04:24.020 --> 04:34.740
escape escape. Finally the garage itself, DIM linear, here to here, out to the end, and DIM

04:34.740 --> 04:41.300
continue, the width of the garage door, this piece of the wall, the garage door, and again to

04:41.380 --> 04:46.900
the corner of the wall. Enter to say I'm done, escape escape. While we're here, we can dimension some

04:46.900 --> 04:55.620
of this information. I'll go linear. We can see that this is from the edge of the door to the

04:55.620 --> 05:03.620
midpoint of the door, and I'll bring it out to this magenta line. DIM continue across the rest.

05:03.620 --> 05:08.900
That simply shows that the pulley system, the chain system, is right in the middle of the door.

05:08.900 --> 05:17.860
Now we can dimension these overhangs, DIM linear, here to here, and that's two inches.

05:18.660 --> 05:25.620
I'll do it again, enter to go back in, this is the width of the chain pulley, and I'll click on

05:25.620 --> 05:30.420
this dimension to make it the same distance, and I'll do it one more time, enter to go back in,

05:30.420 --> 05:38.100
here to here, the same distance. I'll come up and do this gearbox next, DIM linear,

05:38.900 --> 05:44.820
this is a six inch overhang from here to the midpoint, and then I can do a DIM linear,

05:45.460 --> 05:52.500
from here to here, I'll use the same snap, enter to go back in for the top. One last dimension

05:52.500 --> 06:03.380
on our garage doors is the height of the overhang, so I'll go DIM linear, and that's from the corner

06:04.260 --> 06:11.780
to the back of the door, and that's seven foot six. All right, zoom extends, control us to save.

06:12.660 --> 06:18.580
At this point, I'm going to do a review of all of the exterior elements on this elevation. Of course,

06:18.580 --> 06:23.620
there's more dimensions in the garage and in these bedrooms, but I'm just focused on the exterior

06:23.620 --> 06:29.060
elements right now. Okay, once I see that's complete, I'm going to move over to this left side,

06:29.060 --> 06:37.940
and let's keep going. I'll do a DIM linear, this is from the corner of the garage to the corner of

06:37.940 --> 06:48.660
this bump out, to the second line, continue to here, and this is major bump out, so I'm going up to

06:48.660 --> 06:56.420
the corner there, and to the corner there, enter to say I'm done, DIM linear. This next string starts at

06:56.420 --> 07:05.620
the corner here, goes to the wall inside to the corner of where the bathtub is, and out,

07:06.820 --> 07:13.940
and then continue, again to the wall inside to the top side here, again to the wall inside for the

07:13.940 --> 07:22.420
closet here, and then all the way to the corner of the building, escape, escape, escape. I'll go linear

07:22.500 --> 07:28.980
one more time, and this is for this to the window edge, and then continue to the bottom of the

07:28.980 --> 07:36.500
window, enter to say that I'm done. I'll go DIM linear one more time, and this is simply for the edge

07:36.500 --> 07:42.740
of the window, and here I'm going to choose this same dimension string where this window was dimension,

07:42.740 --> 07:49.780
so it's going to be that most inner magenta line, and I'll do a quick continue, and select the

07:49.780 --> 07:56.020
edge of the window, enter to say I'm done, zoom extents, and control less to save. We've now done

07:56.020 --> 08:00.980
all of the exterior dimensions on these two sides, we'll continue with the exterior dimensions for

08:00.980 --> 08:11.540
these two in the next video. I'll see you there.
