So when I was off camera I further refined these aggregates here. All four
2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:11,200
of these are linked aggregates that are all the same. I also made this into an
3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:17,560
aggregate too. I don't believe it's a LinkedIn or linked aggregate. And then
4
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,120
these two walls I moved out six inches further just for the design I just needed
5
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:29,520
a little more room. So often when you're using other BIM software you
6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:37,160
create section reference planes and construction lines to help you model. For
7
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:43,280
example you could do a reference line down the middle of a building and it
8
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:49,680
allows you to mirror certain things inside of the other. So to do that in
9
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:57,400
Bonsai we use a class called IFC Virtual Element. And before we do that let's just
10
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:08,480
add in a simple mesh and turn it 90 degrees here. And I'm going to locate the
11
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:20,920
origin set origin to 3d cursor and I'm going to view it locally. So Bonsai uses
12
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:28,920
the local axis to mirror certain things. So right now the z-axis needs to be
13
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:37,160
along the edge of that plane and then the Y needs to be vertical. So we have to
14
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:44,840
switch that. We click on this to affect only origins and I'm going to turn this
15
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:58,440
90 and then I need to turn the Y up. Y up 90. Okay now we can create an IFC
16
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:08,320
Virtual Element. Assign and we are going to give it an object type.
17
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:17,400
We're going to say reference plan. All the reference planes in plan will be
18
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,440
called reference plan and then we'll do some in section that will be called
19
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,959
reference section. That way we can turn them on and off easy in our drawings for
20
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:39,920
example. You can also name it say midpoint building. Save and then I'm just
21
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:42,960
going to tab into it.
22
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,920
And I'm just gonna stretch things out.
23
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:24,680
All right let's see if it works for mirroring things. So if I take this wall
24
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,640
actually let's do this one. Let's take this one and we're gonna mirror it about
25
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:42,480
that. See what happens. Oh there we go. See so I'm gonna save this IFC file and
26
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:51,840
then I'm gonna open it again. Zoom in turn our materials on. So you can see our
27
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:59,880
reference plane went transparent and the way to do that is in preferences if
28
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,480
you're curious.
29
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:17,160
Sorry going the wrong one. Bonsai. And I believe it's under drawings and it says
30
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:23,480
classes to wireframe. So you can actually add more to this if you want. You can say
31
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:29,600
IFC space if you wanted to. So when you open a file it actually converts
32
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,720
those objects to wireframe which is kind of nice. So that's where that settings
33
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,680
at if you need to know.
