By creating elevations, you will able to add tiles in elevation view as well as view the C and I structures. The structure run for an elevation consists of any number of continuous structures between Xsite turns that connect structure runs.
-
Click
on the Automation palette.
The Assign Structure dialog will open. -
Enter an elevation name in the Create New Elevation box.
Since this is the first elevation created in this drawing, the "Assign to Existing Elevation" box is empty. If present, you can pick and assign existing elevations to a structure run. -
Click
and select the desired structure run(s) on the AutoCAD drawing screen.
If selecting multiple runs, the configurations must be the same base height, stack height and length. -
Adjust the structure spacing using the list box. This will set the default spacing for the C and I structures in the elevation to be created.
You can only adjust this setting before the elevation is created. Otherwise, you can use grips on the elevation to change the spacing to different widths. -
Click the Create button.
-
You will be prompted to specify where to place the front elevation. Place it, set the rotation, and proceed to place the Back elevation.
You can scale the elevation symbols as desired, using the AutoCAD SCALE command.
Note: To maintain integrity of structure runs and their linked elevations, certain commands require special considerations (reactors). Cap and Xsite tools MUST be loaded to enable these reactors. Editing structure runs or elevations without Cap and Xsite tools loaded can result in improper or damaged elevations. See Xsite tile rules.
