1) Open an architectural template. Using the Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project

ans)

Aim: To open an architectural template. Using the Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project

Tools Used:

1. manage
2. architecture
3. grid
4. collaborate

Procedure:

1)from the architectural tab select grid and draw grids

2)from the manage tab select the specify coordinates option

3)select the grid and set the coordinates to 0'0"

4)click on the collaborate option and save the file

Result: setting coordinates and collaboration completed successfully.

8) Create another new file with a construction template. Save the new file as a central model. This file will include both architectural and structural model. Under the manage tab, Click manage links to link both architectural and structural files. Save the file and close all the files.

Aim: To create another new file with a construction template. Save the new file as a central model. This file will include both architectural and structural model. Under the manage tab, Click manage links to link both architectural and structural files. Save the file and close all the files.

Tools Used:

1. manage
2. manage links

Procedure:

1)after creating a file in the constructional template, follow the procedure in question 1 & 2 to make it the central model

2) from the manage tab select manage links and add the architectural and structural plans

Result: combined constructional template created successfully.
