Wall Type Drawings
The program generates the plans for the wall types in two modes: draft and high quality. The draft mode is the default mode and does not require any special setup. For generating high quality representation of the wall, that match your Revit plans, one needs to follow these steps:
1 Create Legend View - Create a Legend view called wts. The view shall be in Fine mode, and on the scale 1:5.
2 - Place a wall component. Open the Anotate tab in Revit and place 1 Basic Wall Component in plan, with 1000mm of length in the Legend View wps
3 - Enable Hight Quality. Open Wall Type Schedule and in the Headers tab select the high quality radio button to activate this mode.
