- Now we have our structure complete,
let's go ahead and create some drawings showing the
individual components and how we want this put together.
Let's go up to File, Make,
Drawing From Assembly,
choose the template and click on OK.
Alright and that's going to pop up a Open New Drawing here.
I'm just using a base template here,
and I'm going to open and drag in the Front View,
notice I get all the different Views over here for me.
I'm going to drag in the Front View right away
it auto scales it to a size that will fit on
our piece of paper.
We can always adjust that later if we needed to just by
right-clicking on it and say Properties and adjusting
the scale if we need to.
Make sure we click on Third Angle if we're in the States
if we're anywhere else in the world we wanna be
probably using First Angle but make sure
we are aware of which type of projection we are using,
and we're using the right size sheet format.
Click on OK.
I could then come in here and do some projected views,
give me a Side View of the structure.
I can do a Top View.
And there's my basic structure, you can throw in a
Projection View on Isometrics so choose which view
you want to start from, click on Projected View and that
will give you an Isometric Projection of that structure.
Now I can change the way it's being viewed.
If I wanted to I can add some dimensions here,
I can go up to Insert, Tables,
Build Materials, I'm going to choose one of these
drawing views, click on OK
and that's going to drop in a Build Materials Table here
showing me the different parts I have
and how many of them I have.
So it's going to do it by weldment level.
So notice I created that roof structure with a piece of
corrugated material on top of it
and that's one piece, that's one weldment.
So then I have to go back and create a new drawing
for that wledment showing the individual pieces or
that cut list that's going to go into creating that.
So this one's your top level drawing,
you can definitely define the size and shape of
the components that are gonna go in here
and now we're going to get a little finer detail
as we get into individual weldments and their cut lists
and the procedures for attaching this together.
A great thing to add into a drawing like this is
if we're going to be painting it, the size, the structure,
any other finishing techniques we're going to do
and again, this is just the welded frame,
or bolted frame so we're going to still be doing a lot more
as far as finishing the walls, adding electrical, plumbing,
everything else which we're probably handing off to another
type of company who would be doing that.
We're focusing purely on the weldment structure,
so in this case here, this is pretty much all I'll need
maybe some information as far as the drawing, the title
and so on, I can specify the type of material
if I wanted to, I can move here and add a revision
but really that's a pretty good start,
add a few dimensions giving it an overall
and we're pretty good to go.
