Turn this layer off.įirst, create a new layer called “Section Cut”. This way you can refer back to them at a later time, if needed. To select all the existing curves in the model and then put them on a separate layer titled "Construction Lines". For example, the digital model may include numerous construction lines that were helpful when creating the model that should now be removed or hidden in order to not get in the way of the clean surfaces. When making a section or plan drawing, it is important to "clean up" the digital model so that unnecessary linework or surfaces are removed before cutting, splitting and flatting the model. This model when moving onto the plan drawing. Select the copied digital model in its entirety and In the Front view, select the entire model and When creating drawings, there is potential for some of the model to be trimmed or deleted, so it is important to keep a copy of the original for other drawings.įor the purposes of this workflow, you can also copy the digital model twice in the same file: one for the section drawing, one for the plan.

Please use the digital model to follow the workflowīefore starting the workflow, be sure to save the Rhino file as a separate copy so as not to lose work of the original, complete digital model. Architects must do this at every step in their process. Therefore, you must distill the various alignments, manipulations, rotations, and originating moves that went into your 3d model back to a 2-dimensional representation. This workflow details methods for the creation of a section and plan drawing from a 3 dimensional model in Rhino and the process for cleaning up the output, deciding what information to keep / delete and what needs to be drawn to complete the understanding of the space.įor your presentations, you will not be able to rely on other drawings, screenshots in your sketchbook, or laptops with your 3d model open, in order to discuss the project.
