Creating Views for Specific Purposes
Because you can control element visibility and graphic display by view, you can create views for specific
purposes. Some possibilities include:
Furniture Layout—Show furniture half-toned on lighting RCP plan.
Sprinkler Layout—Show sprinklers prominently on a half-toned ceiling plan.
Furniture Plan—Show furniture and associated symbols, with room names and numbers, on a half-toned
floor plan.
Equipment Plan—As in an industrial kitchen layout: floor-mounted equipment shown prominently,
wall-mounted equipment shown with an alternate line weight, and ceiling equipment (hoods) shown
with a third line weight, on a half-toned power plan.
Fire-Safety Plan—Show 1-hour, 2-hour, and other fire-rated enclosures on a half-toned floor plan in a
manner so that you can distinguish the ratings. Overhead exit signs and sprinklers can appear in one
color, and wall-mounted alarm devices and fire-extinguishers can appear in another color.
Restoration Work—Show periods of existing materials in a building being reviewed for historic alterations.
For example, 17th-century features shown in line weight 1, 18th-century features shown in line weight
2, and proposed alterations shown in line weight 3.
