Architectural
Desktop Tip: Usando el commando Quick Select
Tip on English version
Quick Select es una caracteristica muy Buena en Architectural DeskTop, ya que una vez que la usmaos la usaremos
para siempre. Ya que permite modificar una gran cantidad de objetos sin
esfuerzo. Por ejemplo: supongamos que
tenemos un Layout con mas de 60 puertas y solo 50 de ellas con ancho de 2’6” y que tenemos qe cambiarlas
a un ancho de 3’. Hacer esto manual nos
podría llevar casi todo el día y usando Quick select solo unos minutos, suponga
que tenemos dados de alta las siguientes datos de puertas y marcos en la lista
de materiales como “ Door and Frame Schedule”
En estas ocasiones es donde el comando Quick Select nos puede
ahorra bastante tiempo para esto
haremos los siguientes pasos:
1.
Especifique una ventana de selección que cubra
todo el dibujo, presione el botón de la derecha de ratón ( right click short
cut )
Cuando el dialogo de Quick Select aparezca especifique de la selección el
tipo de objeto “ Door ( puertas ) con un ancho de 2’6” como se muestra en seguida:
Esto le especifica a el arquitectural de que seleccione todas las
puertas de 2’6”.
Al quedar todas seleccionadas oprima el botón de OK , haga un clic
derecho y seleccione la opción de modificar puertas ( Modify Doors ) y cambia los valores de ancho ( Width ) de 2'6 a 3'0, y presione OK.
Y las 50 puertas habrán cambiado de 2’6” a 3’
Y estos cambios son reflejados en su lista de materiales “ Door and Frame Schedule”
Tan simple como eso…

Architectural Desktop Tip: Using Quick Select
Quick Select is an
Autodesk® Architectural Desktop feature that I have found myself unable to live
without. Quick Select makes modifying the properties of a large number of
objects in an Architectural Desktop drawing easy and effortless.
Consider the following
scenario: You have just generated a door schedule and your boss has noticed
that you have 50 doors whose widths are 2'6. He tells you that you must change
them all to 3'0. Manually checking 66 doors (including the 16 Hinged—Single Office doors) could take all
day, and you have another deadline to meet in two hours. More
Figure 1: The width of these doors must be changed to 3'0.
This is where the Quick Select
can save you a lot of time and investigative effort. Follow these steps:
1. Draw a selection window
that encompasses the whole drawing. Once the whole drawing is selected,
right-click to access the Quick Select dialog box.
Figure 2: Select the drawing and right-click to access Quick Select.
2. When the Quick Select
dialog box opens, set Object Type to Door, Properties to Width, Operator to =,
and Value to 2'6.
Figure 3: Use the parameters in the Quick Select dialog box to select only
the 2'6 wide doors.
These
settings tell Architectural Desktop to keep in the selection set only doors
with a width of 2'6. Click OK to accept the settings.
|
Note: There are 4 Operators to choose from and they can help you perform
some very complex selections. They are: = (Equals) |
3. After everything else
has been filtered out of the selection set, right-click to access the Modify
Doors dialog box. Change the Width from 2'6 to 3'0, and click OK.
Figure 4: Now you can modify the width of the selected doors.
Voila! All 50 doors widths
have changed from 2'6 to 3'0.
Figure 5: The new width is reflected in the schedule.
It's that simple.
Experiment with Quick Select and I'm sure you'll agree that this is a
time-saving feature that you can't live without.
