Introduction Thank you for your interest in the COLUMNS 23.0 eParts by ARCHIdigm. Before you decide to purchase this product we would like to inform you about what you get and how it works so you don't end up buying something you don't want. This kit is not a software product and it does not do anything on its own.. It is a library of Object Styles and MvBlocks designed exclusively for Autodesk®'s AutoCAD Architecture 2017 and up CAD program. Autodesk's Structural products come with their own libraries and tools for Structural work and this is not a substitute for those software products. The Objects in this kit are exclusively for Architects and Designers using AutoCAD Architecture only. Another way of saying this is that the content offered in this kit is for design not engineering. This product was designed to update, improve and expand upon the stock Structural Member content that comes with AutoCAD Architecture. The Structural Member Styles in this kit exemplify the use of Adding Custom Blocks, Multiple Components, Offsets, Rotation, Member Shape Definitions, Display Properties and Property Set data. This kit also provides numerous examples of implementing Curtain Wall Styles as column, beams, floor trusses and more. WHAT'S NEW: Major Material Definition Styles Overhaul. New General Members have been added. |

The
User Guide As with all of our products, this one comes with a User Guide. The User Guide for the Columns eParts Product may prove to be equally valuable to the contents of this kit since it explains how the numerous Member Styles were created (and how you can modify them). This information reveals all of the deeper features of AutoCAD Architecture's Structural Member Styles such as Additive and Subtractive Blocks. You will learn about Repeating Blocks and how to apply them to create trusses. You will also see examples of how using Curtain Wall Style may provide better results for truss styles. Learn how to create a Rigid Frame Member Style and how to use it with Polylines. Learn how to create End Plates and Web Stiffeners without using Blocks. The User Guide comes in PDF format. |

CAD
and IT Managers: Some offices have highly customized template files with unique Display Representations, Sets and Configurations that may not work with our kit. We designed this kit for optimum performance using the default template files that come with ACA but all that means is that we utilized the High, Medium, Low and Presentation Display Configurations. The Object Style files are devoid of undesirable Layers, Colors and Plot Styles. Installation Structure: |
