Reviewing the Drawing

14. Copy and paste edges to define stairs adjacent to the building footprint (Fig. 6-10). a. With Move/Copy, create a series of steps using the building footprint line. When the two entry lines were drawn adjacent to the building, defining the entry walk, the edge composing the building footprint was further divided. The linework for the building located between the two entry lines is now its own selectable line. b. Select this line between the two edges from the previous step and Move/Copy to create three steps, each 1´ apart. These are the steps leading to the building.

15. Draft the entry walls (Fig. 6-10). a. With the Rectangle tool, select the endpoint at the intersection of the entry walk and sidewalk, drawn in step 9. Enter a value of 5´,1´. Make sure the drawn rectangle’s length is parallel to the sidewalk. b. Repeat this step for the other side of the walk. These surfaces will be used to generate walls.

Reviewing the Drawing

The previous exercise drew, copied, and moved line work on a single surface. By subdividing the single surface into smaller areas, you drew footprints that signified specific surfaces. Now
