- [Instructor] We're in Office Layout_3.DWG again,
and as you can see,
I've left it in the same place as it was
at the end of the last video
where we did our decking
and our planting and so on
at the rear of the building.
What I'd like you to do is, zoom out slightly
and then sort of come into the middle of the office here
with the cross here, roll up on the wheel a bit
and zoom into the center of the office.
Now you can see there's a little purple line here
and it's on the layer carpet.
We're going to use the Lengthen command
to lengthen that line dynamically all the way
across the office to this wall here.
Now, I could use extend if I wanted to
but I'd like to show you the Lengthen command.
Now the Lengthen command is up
on the modified panel on the home tab, on the ribbon.
I'm going to click on the fly out here and just pin it open.
Like we've done previously in previous videos
and the Lengthen command is just here.
There's lengthen there like so.
Click on Lengthen and come into the drawing area.
Before you select the object to measure,
right click and you'll notice
you've got four different methods
of lengthening your line.
You've got the Delta method
where you add a Delta amount
or distance to the line.
You've got a Percent method where you make the line
a certain percentage of its original length.
You've got a Total method
where you define the total length of the object,
the line in this case.
And you've also got Dynamic.
Make sure you select Dynamic.
And then I'm going to click here on the end of the line.
And as I drag, can you see I'm dragging this all the way
across until I get to that intersection there
with my polar tracking.
I then left click Enter to finish
and I've lengthened that line quickly and easily.
Now, if we zoom out slightly
just maybe one notch, there we go.
There's our lengthened carpet line.
And that defines the carpeting area
for both the reception area
and the one, two, three offices.
But we have an issue,
these little internal wall partitions
don't meet the carpeting line
so we're going to need to stretch them.
So I'm going to zoom in a little bit
make sure you can see
both of the little sort of walls here.
There's one there and there's one just there as well.
And we're going to extend them slightly
to the carpeting line.
And what you'll find there is you'll then find
that your desk is slightly inset
from these little partition walls
giving that little sort of edge of privacy.
And it kind of defines the area
of where the office space is, the cubicle space.
So the Stretch command again is on the modify panel.
It's there, there's the Stretch command.
It's one of those commands that you can't get to
on the right click shortcut menu as well.
So click on Stretch and come into the drawing area
and we need to select the object we want to stretch.
Now, be a bit savvy here
where you put your pick box.
You want to kind of go above
the carpeting line there,
click once, release the mouse button
and just drag over the end of
the internal partition wall.
Click again to confirm
and there's your selection going blue.
Press Enter to confirm the selection
and you need a base point.
Now you're just going to select
the midpoint there on the wall,
Come down to the carpeting line
and using your polar tracking and object snap tracking,
you'll see an intersection.
Just left click.
And that's now stretched nicely to the carpeting line.
Let's zoom in a bit on this one
cause there's a few more objects laying around
such as desks and plants.
So we want to make sure we snap to right object snaps.
Now, what we're going to do is go up to stretch again
and we need to select the objects
that we want to stretch.
So I'm going to come in here like that just
in between the carpeting line and the desk lines.
So I'm going to come in here, click Drag
and come across the end of the partition wall and click.
Now I've got lots of objects selected there
that I don't need selected.
Hold down the shift key on the keyboard.
You need to click on the edge of both desks.
They don't need to be selected.
Also down here.
Does the carpeting line need to be selected?
No, but it doesn't look like it's selected.
It's not blue, but the plant is selected.
So click on that.
That will go green again.
So now the only object selected
is our little partition wall.
Then you press Enter to confirm your selection.
Same base point.
We're going to use the little midpoint snap there
left click, drag downwards on the polar tracking line
until you get your intersection, left click again.
And what you'll find there is you've got
your little stretched internal wall
just there like so stretching down
to the carpet line and then what we'll do,
we'll zoom out.
And you can see now that our desks
are just slightly inset past that carpet line.
And what it does is you'll obviously
have different color carpets for the cubicles
with a different reception area carpet.
And it just provides a little bit
of definition between each area
and defines each area in the office itself.
So if you double click on the wheel now
just to make sure that you can see everything you've done
and you can see we're starting to develop
a really nice little office environment there
in our Office Layout_3 drawing.
