0:00 – 2:55: Intro/TOC

 

2:56 – 7:29: Detail Explorer

Accessing the Detail Explorer (2:56)

  • From the F/X Details menu
  • From the Details toolbar
  • From the Details Preferences

Note: You can also access the Detail Explorer from the F/X Details ribbon.

 

The Detail Library (4:00)

2 categories:

  • DETAILS (for project-specific details or personal/office details)
  • STANDARD DETAILS (for details pertaining to CSI)

 

Creating a new detail folder (4:50)

 

Creating subfolders (Land F/X allows up to 4 levels of folders/subfolders) (6:15)

 

7:30 – 11:50: Detail File Structure

The default location for the Detail Store Folder (shown in theDetails Preferences) (7:42)

Note: If desired, you can set this folder location to a shared network folder such as Dropbox. This will ensure a cloud backup while also allowing you to sync your details between home and office. (8:44)

 

The Details folder within the LandFX folder (9:30)

 

Note that the detail folders in this folder will all correspond with the folders in the Detail Explorer. (10:10)

 

Note also that each detail has three corresponding files in the folder (11:15):

  • The detail drawing itself
  • The detail’s preview image (slide), which we see in the Detail Explorer
  • The detail’s data file

 

11:51 – 25:04: Creating Details/Detail Templates

Detail Templates (12:15)

 

Customizing detail template title blocks to meet your office standards(12:50)

  • Opening a detail template base title block from the Details Preferences (13:00)
  • Editing the detail template as a block in CAD (13:15)

 

Placing the edited detail template to see the changes in the title block (14:50)

 

Note the non-plot tick marks in the detail templates, which allow you to set the width and height of the template (15:05)

 

The Detail Builder tools (16:10) (Note: These tools are now also available on the F/X Details ribbon.)

 

Detail blocks (17:05)

Placing a detail block (17:40)

 

Loading a layer state (18:00)

 

Drawing with different layers (18:50)

 

Placing a detail block into a detail template (19:15)

Inserting a sheet template (19:40)

 

Selecting a scale and size for the detail template (21:30)

 

Saving the detail using the Save Detail tool (22:05)

 

Adding the detail to a project (23:10)

 

Note: When saving a detail in Land F/X, always use the Save Detail, Edit Detail, and Update Detail buttons. (23:55)

 

25:05 – 33:39: Editing Details

Editing a detail from the Detail Explorer (25:05)

 

Right-clicking on a detail to Edit, Delete, or Print it (we’ll select Edit from this menu to open and edit the detail) (25:20)

 

Adding annotations to the detail (25:30)

 

Enlarging a detail and placing it on a different template with an increased scale, which also scales up the text in the detail (26:15)

 

Detail Bubble Callouts (27:17)

Placing and annotating Bubble Callouts (27:50)

 

Changing the order of the Bubble Callouts and generating a Bubble Callout schedule (28:30)

 

Copying the bubble callouts to the larger detail template. Note that Land F/X automatically adjusts the scale of the callouts when we move them to the larger template. (29:05)

 

Saving the edited detail again using Save Detail (30:20)

 

Overwrite the Existing Detail vs. Prompt for a New Detail (30:23)

(This is why it’s important to use the Land F/X Save Detail command when saving a detail. If you save a detail by pressing CTRL + S, you will automatically trigger the overwrite command.)

 

Setting and saving a Dimension Style (DimStyle) (32:00)

 

33:40 – 43:19: Placing Details

Adding details to a project (34:15)

 

Setting up the detail grid (38:24)

Creating a non-plot layer (38:30)

 

Creating a workspace for the detail by drawing and offsetting rectangles (39:02)

 

Inserting a sheet template (39:40)

 

Placing details on the sheet, within the grid, from the Detail Manager (40:11)

 

Saving the sheet and placing details on a new sheet (41:44)

Note that the Detail Manager organizes the placed details by the sheet they on which they are located. (42:20)

 

Placed vs. Unplaced details in the Detail Manager (42:50)

 

43:20 – 47:59: Referencing Details

The Sheet Index in the Project Manager (44:10)

48:00 – end: Details Tips & Tricks

Copy details to project folder (checkbox in the Details Preferences) (48:00)

(When you have this box checked, each new detail you create in the Detail Manager will have a copy saved automatically in the current project’s folder.)
