Example: Label style for working drawing (with two foils)

Tool(s) Label Style

The custom label will include the following elements at 1:50:

Name
Function
TL of finished floor (= +0.15)
TL of unfinished floor
Floor area
Perimeter
Covering (Text 1)
Type of covering (Text 2)

The following is required for scale 1:100:

Name
Function
Floor area

The basic approach is the same as in Label style with floor area and Label style for balcony.

The TL FF (top level, finished floor) is obtained using a formula; draw the symbols for this in the Draft module using Line and Fill. You should already be familiar with the concept of foils from the Smart Symbols module.

When you label a room with this label style, you will obtain the following results…

…at a scale of 1:50:

...and at a scale of 1:100:

To create a label style with two foils

1. Click Label Style (How).
   

   Activate Label Style in one of the following ways

   • Menu bar: Create Bonus Tools Smart Symbols

   • Palette: Tools Create area in the following module(s):

   Templates: Reports, Legends, Labels

   Smart Symbols

   Rooms, Surfaces, Stories

   Landscaping

   Urban Planning

   Object Manager

   • Configuration: Architecture Rooms flyout
2. To place the attributes for the first foil (up to 1:50) in the workspace, start by setting the Reference Scale to 1:50.
3. Now place the following attributes with the appropriate settings in the workspace:
   • Name from General architecture, text height 2.5mm, text anchor point is bottom left
   • Function from General architecture, text height 3.5mm, text anchor point is bottom left
   • For TL FF go to Formula, click Attribute, select BL from Archit. quantities, in the Operators area click / (for division), enter 1000 in the Number area (the values in formulas are always calculated in mm!). In the Operators area, click + and in the Number area, enter 0.15 (fixed value for the structure of the floor covering).
     The formula should now look like this:
     BL/1000+0.15
     Confirm the dialog box. Enter 3.5 mm for the text height. Under Prefix enter TL FF; set the text anchor point to bottom left
     Tip: For TL FF analyze the structure of the floor covering from Room tool, Finish Specifications tab
   • For TL UF go to Formula, click Attribute, select BL from Archit. quantities, click / (for division) in the Operators area and enter 1000 in the Number area.
     The formula should now look like this:
     Bottom_Level/1000
     Confirm the dialog box. Enter 3.5 mm for the text height, set the text anchor point to bottom left, enter TL UF for the Prefix
   • Floor area from Archit. quantities, text height 2.5 mm, text anchor point bottom left, for Prefix: A=
   • Perimeter from Archit. quantities, text height 2.5 mm, text anchor point bottom left, for Prefix: P=
   • Text 1 from General architecture for displaying the floor covering, text height 2.5 mm, text anchor point bottom left (the floor covering must be entered in Text 1 when the room is defined)
   • Text 2 from General architecture for displaying the floor covering, text height 2.5 mm, text anchor point bottom left (the floor covering must be entered in Text 2 when the room is defined)

     Draw the triangle symbols with Line (How) and Fill (How) and place them in your label style. If necessary, you can now move and align the elements.
     
     You workspace should now look something like this:

     

     Activate Fill in one of the following ways

     • Menu bar: Create Draft

     • Toolbar: Basic Tools Draft flyout
     • Palette: Tools Create area in the following module(s):

     Draft

     Paint

     

     Activate Line in one of the following ways

     • Menu bar: Create Draft

     • Keyboard: CTRL+L

     • Toolbar: Basic Tools Draft flyout
     • Palette: Tools Create area in the following module(s):

     Draft

     Site Plan

     

4. To place the attributes for the second foil of the label style in the drawing file, set the Reference Scale to 1:100. Don’t worry about the “incorrect” text offsets; when you save the label style, the appropriate scale will be set again.
5. Now place the following attributes with the appropriate settings in the workspace:
   • Name from General architecture, text height 2.5mm, text anchor point is bottom left
   • Function from General architecture, text height 3.5mm, text anchor point is bottom left
   • Floor area from Archit. quantities, text height 2.5 mm, text anchor point bottom left, for Prefix: A=
6. If you want, you can now enhance the appearance by switching to other modules, aligning the various elements and drawing a border, for example.
   
   The result might look like this:

   

7. To save the label style, set the reference scale back to 1:50.
8. Click Label Style (How). Click DefFol.
9. Set Foil to On, specify that the foil is to change with the reference scale by clicking the box beside Dependent on until RSC is displayed and set the validity range for the first foil:
   RSC->: 1
   <=RSC: 51

   Note: The reference scale at which the label style is usually displayed should always be within the validity range defined by the upper and lower limits.
   Validity range, example

   

   Validity range from ... -|--	... to ...	Display at reference scale:
   RSC = 1	RSC = 51	1:10, 1:20, 1:50
   RSC = 52	RSC = 101	1:100
   RSC = 102	RSC = 9999	1:200, 1:500, 1:1000
   ...

10. Select the elements for the first foil and define the drop-in point.
11. Now set the reference scale to 1:100.
12. Click Foil and set the validity range for the second foil:
    RSC->: 52
    <=RSC: 9999
13. Now select the elements for the second foil and define the drop-in point.
14. Press ESC to finish.
15. Specify whether the individual foils of the label style can be selected and moved independently of each other.
16. Save the smart symbol.
