Creating and Editing Details and Groups in TPC Desktop 2021

Web Seminar April 28th, 2021 Creating Details • What shapes can be used to create a detail? o Rectangles o Rounded Rectangles o Circles o Ellipses o Polylines o Traverse Polylines • What Space should the object be in? o Shapes for details need to be in Survey Space as we are creating a Group from survey objects o If the shape is in Paper Space, TPC asks if you want to convert it to Survey Space. Answering Yes allows the creation of the Detail to proceed. • What Space will the Detail be in? o Because Details point to a specific area in the survey, they are automatically in Survey Space but they can be toggled into Paper Space if desired. The New Detail Dialog Box • As always in TPC Desktop, you can access the Help topic for whatever you are working on by pressing your F1 key. • Captions o You can turn them on or off using the Caption check box o You can put anything you like in the Caption o TPC can automatically show the scale of the detail if you include the new Variable $$FACTOREDSCALEPERINCH o Captions do not need to be turned on or off initially as they can be turned on or off after the detail is created. • Layer o You can put your detail on any user layer or you can have TPC automatically create a Details layer for you. • Size o The size of the detail can be set in a few ways o Setting any one way updates the others so you can see what the effect will be.  You can define a Factor such as 2.00 for a detail that is twice as big as the original shape that was used. • You can also do things like 2.50, etc. • The Factor you use will probably be determined by the original drawing scale and the scale that you want the detail to be drawn at.  You can choose a specific Scale for the detail and not worry about any of the other size options.  You can set a specific Height or Width for the detail • Retain o Leaving these turned off means that that type of object will not be included in the detail. o These don’t matter if these types of objects are not in the detail area.  Surfaces • Turn this option on to include surface objects like contours and TIN lines in your details.  Object labels outside detail • If an object label, like a line label, lies outside the detail boundary, but the object it labels is included in the detail, this option determines if that object label is included with the detail.  Xrefs • Turn this option on to include XRef objects from their individual XRef layers. • Note that all Detail objects will be on the detail’s layer that was chosen above.  Crowsfeet • These are rarely desired in details • The attributes of the crowsfeet in the detail will be controlled by the Drawing Settings, Crowsfeet dialog. So any crowsfeet that originated from a traverse line label, may render them differently since they are no longer controlled by that traverse's crowsfeet settings.  Fills • Fills are currently supported only for objects that lie completely within the detail boundary. If an object intersects the detail boundary, it is not filled. • Edit Detail after it is positioned o This option automatically puts the Detail into Edit mode so that you can tidy and finish it up easily o Don’t worry if you don’t have this turned on when you create the detail as it is always easy to edit Details and Groups later as we will see in a minute. Editing Groups and Details • Notice that the Detail we have created is simply a Group (Cursor over the Detail and it shows that it is a Group on the Details Layer) • This means that editing a Detail is simply editing a Group • There are two basic methods for editing groups o Ctrl + edit  Ctrl + Drag and Drop  Ctrl + Double Click for Properties  Ctrl + Draw with Snap to a Group Object o Groups / Blocks | Edit Group / Detail context menu command  This new tool allows you to edit the group to add and move objects without having to Ungroup (Explode) and Select and Regroup.  When in Edit Group / Detail mode, anything added to the drawing will become part of the group.  You must end the tool properly or you may unintentionally add unwanted objects to the group.  Enter to end the edit command • Watch the Status Bar • Add Private Status Bar to the Drawing View • Multiple Monitors Notice that we have fills and Lot Labels in this tiny area and we need to blow this up and provide more information in our Detail o Add ”Barn, Shed & Barn blow-up” to the caption o Set it at 100 Scale. o Include Object labels outside detail, Fills and Edit Detail after it is positioned OOPS. It looks like that is too big for the area I have available. I can try to rearrange the drawing to get more space or I can go into the Properties of the group by double-clicking or right-clicking it. o Set the scale to 125 and OK o Groups / Blocks | Edit Group / Detail context menu command  Move Deck and Barn inside the Detail  Change the Caption to Arial .08  Add Dynamic Offsets to the property line  Any other edits  End the command Questions and Answers
