Introduction To The LSC Design AEC Objects And Scheduling.

AEC Content are objects that can hold data to be referenced by other AEC objects.

AEC Content can be but are not limited to:

Styles:
Door* Roofs
Window* Slabs
Door/Window Assemblies* Stairs
Schedule Tables* Railing
Spaces* End Caps
Modifiers Structural Members
Display Section/Elevation
Mass Element Layer Keys
Multi-view Blocks:
Door Tags* Partition Type Tags*
Window Tags* Detail Marks*
Section Marks* Elevation Marks*
Equipment Tags Equipment Blocks
*Multi-view blocks are automatically inserted at the Dwg scale.
 The data is associated with an object or style by using Property Set Definitions.

Property Set Definitions are groups of data that relate to specific types of AEC Content.

For example, Different information is

needed for a door than is needed
for a window; therefore each type
of object style or tag has a separate
Property Set to be associated with it.

Each Property Set Definition is made up of at least one Property Definition.

Property Data Sets are not to be
modified or created by the general
CAD user.

If you need a Property Definition added

to a Property Data Set, see the CAD
Management team.
LSC Tool Palette Changes

The Door and Window palettes have

been moved to their own palette
group called LSC Doors and
Windows.

A palette named “LSC Fire Rated

Assemblies” has been added to the
LSC Wall Styles Group.

The LSC Documentation Group has

been added and the LSC Callouts
palette has been deleted

Callouts and symbols. 2D tags are
also accessible here. All of these
tags need to be filled out manually.

Design Tool Palette

This tool palette is provided by Autodesk and

is what you would use to draw any basic AEC
objects. On this palette, each object will come
in as the “Standard” style.

The style named “Standard” should never be

modified. If you need to change something in
the style, create a new style by selecting the
object, right clicking and choosing the “Copy
and assign” option from the shortcut menu.
 Spaces

The Design Palette has two Space tools. The first

one (Space) will insert a standard square space
with an area of 100sqft. The Second tool ( Space
Auto Generate Tool) will allow you to automatically
generate spaces using boundaries that you specify
like walls or lines.
Spaces

These are the available options if you’ve used the “space add” tool.

Select the space and edit the

dimensions from the properties
palette or use the grips to
stretch the space to the
desired size.

You can also edit the shape of a

space by selecting it , right
clicking then select “Edit Vertices”
from the shortcut menu. Then
simply move your mouse between
any two existing vertices and that
boundary line will adjust to add a
vertex where ever you click.
 The AEC Modify Tools option,
provides more ways to modify the
space objects. It is only available on
the shortcut menu when a space
that is not associative is selected.

This is the dialog you’ll get if you choose to use the Space Auto Generate tool.

Automatic
ADT will find boundaries based on the options below Spaces that are automatically OR manually
Manual generated from the “Generate Spaces” tool,
You have to pick all objects that border the space. will be Associative by default. You can
Filter Options: remove the associative property by selecting
Walls only “No” in the properties box.
Walls, Lines, Arcs, Polylines, and Circles
All Linework
Spaces should come in on the non-plot layer “A-Area-Spce”

Spaces are not ready to hold data until

you associate a room tag with it.

Select the Room Tag Tool from the LSC documentation palette
Then select the space that you want the tag associated with.
The Tags will automatically go the A-ROOM-IDEN Layer

After inserting a Room Tag, you can

either select the Room Tag or the
Space object to access the property
data on the Extended Data tab in the
properties box. This information will be
used in the schedule.
 Door Tags

The LSC Door Tag has been built so that the number is adopted from the room
of which the door swings into.

You can add a number suffix by using the extended data tab on the properties box.

The Tags will automatically go the A-DOOR-IDEN Layer

New “Star” Grip

This Grip must be in the room which you want the door numbered after.
If you do not want the door to use the number from the room which the door swings
into, you will pull this grip into the space that the number should follow.

 Window Tags

LSC has two Window Type Tags. The one with the Lock icon, will take information
from the Window Style. This would allow all the Window tags for each Window style
to be filled in automatically and updated simultaneously.
In the event that we need to over ride the Style properties, we can use the Window
Tag that does not have the lock icon.

The Tags will automatically go the A-GLAZ-IDEN Layer

Partition Tags

LSC has two Partition Type Tags. The one with the Lock icon, will take information
from the Wall Style. This would allow all the Partition tags for each Wall style to be
filled in automatically and updated simultaneously.
In the event that we need to over ride the Style properties, we can use the Partition
Tag that does not have the lock icon.

The Tags will automatically go the A-WALL-IDEN Layer

 LSC Symbols

These multi-view blocks, along with the Tags

on the previous tool bar, will come inserted into the
drawing at the current drawing scale.

For the tools that have arrows; you will be prompted

first for the insertion point of the symbol (which is
the center of the symbol) and the asked which
direction the arrow should point.
In the case of the interior elevation with four
directions, drag the mouse towards the first
elevation and click.

The Circular and Rectangular Detail Boundary tools

have a pre-assigned line type with a pre-assigned
width. These are drawn just as if you were drawing
a circle or a rectangle, Then select where along the
boundary you would like the leader to start and
then
the other end of the leader.

The free form detail boundary acts the same way but
allows you to draw any closed shape.
The 2D tags are modified AEC tags that allow us to
take advantage of the auto scaling features without

using “intelligent objects” Since intelligent objects

are not required, these tags will have to be edited
individually if need be and no schedules will be
able
to be created from them.
 Ending Comments

This training is designed to provide the information that is needed to utilize the content that we have created and
assuming that the user knows how to place walls, doors, and windows.

If you are unsure of how to place walls, doors, or windows, or just want to be sure your using the software correctly,
please send a request to LSC CAD Support and we will provide individual, project specific, assistance.

These tools are assigned to the Post 2007 layering standards and colors. They should only be used in drawings
that are using the LSC_Plotsyle.ctb file.

To ensure consistency between styles and data throughout the office, the CAD management team will be
creating the styles for each future project. Someone one on the project must provide us with the information
we’ll need and a little bit of lead time.

Please remember to send any help request to LSC CAD Support.
