Break link
In the exercise below you will create a new template called Training-2, then copy the covers from the existing template Training-1.
-
Copy the 2D Training-1 Cap Standard to the left of the existing configuration as shown in this image.
-
If you were to do a worksheet takeoff now, all the parts in that copied Cap Standard would show up. In order to prevent that, you need to break the link between the Cap Standard and its associated Elevation Template. Click
. This will bring up a “Select objects:” command prompt.
-
Select the 2D Training-1 Cap Standard you just copied and press Enter to accept the selection set. The command runs and removes the Cap Standard and breaks the link. The three frames left are simply three frames, just as if they had been brought in from the Explorer bar.
-
Run Create or apply an elevation template on those new frames now. This will bring up the Elevation Template dialog listing Training-1 as an available elevation to assign.
This is because when structures are selected the tool looks through the entire drawing and shows all the elevation templates that match the frames selected and offers them as possible choices. Any matching template can be assigned to a new run. Of course, if a new configuration is desired, it can
be created. -
Give the new configuration the name Training-2, press Create and apply the front and back templates as shown here.
-
Copy all the covers from the front of Training-1 to the front of Training-2. Be careful to use a selection set that copies the covers but not the elevation template.
-
Make sure to pick displacement points on a node of the templates so that the covers are placed correctly.
-
Erase all the stacking panels on the front template of Training-2.
-
Click
and push all the covers to the other side.
-
Run Bind covers and validate the new configuration.
