Modeling

Auto Column

• Auto-generate columns

1. Choose Concrete column / Steel column

*For SRC, choose one of the two

1. Select a CAD file (Linked CAD only)
2. Set CAD colors → pre-assign the text color and concrete-line color in the drawing

⚠️ Layer colors are not detected directly. If a color is set to By Layer, change it in the CAD drawing itself.

1. Select family & type → choose the family to place
2. Select placement level
3. Run placement → success/failure counts are shown

⚠️ Matching: family name ↔ drawing label / family dimensions ↔ drawn line length (e.g. 500 x 500)

Auto Beam

• Auto-generate beams

  

1. Choose Rectangular beam / Steel beam
2. Select a CAD file (Linked CAD only)
3. Set CAD colors → pre-assign the text color and concrete-line color in the drawing

*See the Auto Column instructions

1. Select family & type → choose the family to place
2. Select placement level
3. Run placement → success/failure counts are shown

Auto Slab

• Auto-generate floors

1. Choose the floor type
2. Click Select Beams and pick beams — or pick beams first, then click Select Beams
3. Click Create

*Beams (individual) → creates a slab inside each selected beam loop

*Beams (merged) → creates a slab along the outer boundary of the selected beams

Auto Wall - Structure

• Auto-generate structural walls

  

1. Select a CAD file (Linked CAD only)
2. Set level & height, select family & type → choose the family to place
3. Recognition filter → keeps too-close and too-far wall lines from mixing
4. Set CAD colors → pre-assign the text color and wall-line color in the drawing

*See the Auto Column instructions

1. Run placement → success/failure counts are shown

Auto Wall - Architecture

• Auto-generate architectural walls

Auto Footing

• Auto-generate isolated footings

1. Select a CAD file (Linked CAD only)
2. Set CAD colors

*See the Auto Column instructions

1. Select family & type → choose the family to place
2. Select placement level
3. Run placement → success/failure counts are shown
