Step 3: Press “Ctrl + C” to copy the Layer name of Grid Line. Then select the “OK” button or click to
“x” sign to close this dialog.
Step 4: Run the command “Model Grid”, then select AutoCAD linked file or you can also preselect
AutoCAD linked file and then run the command “Model Grid”
Minimum Length(millimeter): If the lines in AutoCAD linked file is smaller than this length, this
plugin will not create Grid for these Lines.
Then click the “OK” button to execute.
Step 2: Go to the tab “Alpha BIM – GEN” then run the command “Text to Element”
Step 3: Select all Grids, or you can preselect the Grids that want to set the name as the same with
AutoCAD file then click “Finish” button on the upper left corner of the screen.
Alpha BIM has a plugin to extend all Grids through all Levels automatically.
Watch the demo here: https://youtu.be/_jGNIHRUNDU
How to use:
Step 1: Active plan that you can see all Grids. Go to tab Alpha BIM – GEN, then drop down at “Misc
Utils” and click the command “Extend Grids through all Levels”
Step 2: Select the Grids that you want to extend, then click the “Finish” button on the upper left
corner of the screen.
After clicking the command “Model Pile Foundation”, you select the AutoCAD linked file. The
interface will appear below the image. Or you can also preselect AutoCAD linked file and then run
the command “Model Pile Foundation”
Step 4: Ctrl + V to paste the layer name that was copied before to the row “Choose Center Line
Layer of Pile”
Select the AutoCAD linked file then the interface will appear as below. Or you can also preselect
AutoCAD linked file and then run the command “Model Slab Foundation”
Step 4: Ctrl + V to paste the layer name that was copied before to the row “Choose Center Line Layer
of Pile”. Then choose Foundation Type and Level then click “OK” button to complete.
Sample model after running this command:
Steps to use:
- Active 3D view containing Pile Foundation & Slab Foundation.
- Preselect Pile Foundation then run the command “Offset Pile”. All Piles Foundation will
move to the bottom of Slab Foundation.
After clicking the command “Model Column”, you select the AutoCAD linked file. The interface will
appear below the image. Or you can also preselect AutoCAD linked file and then run the command
“Model Column”
Step 4: Ctrl + V to paste the layer name that was copied before to the row “Choose Hatch Layer
or Boundary Layer of Column”
There are 2 methods to run: Modeling by Hatch & Modeling by Boundary Line
You choose “Rectangle Column Family”, “Circle Column Family”, and other setting to the interface
then click “OK” button to complete.
After clicking the command “Model Wall”, you select the AutoCAD linked file. The interface will
appear below the image. Or you can also preselect the AutoCAD file and then run the command
“Model Wall”
Step 4: Ctrl + V to paste the layer name that was copied before to the row “Choose Layer of
Hatch Face of Wall”. Then choose 01, 02, or 03 Wall Type and choose Level of new Wall. After
that, click “OK” button to complete.
You need to pre-generate all the Wall Types before running this command. The thickness of the Wall
Type is equal to the thickness of the Hatch face in the AutoCAD link file. For example, when Hatch in
AutoCAD link file has a width of 400mm, you need to create a Wall Type W400 first, with a thickness
of 400mm.
After clicking the command “Model Framing”, you select the AutoCAD linked file. The interface will
appear below the image. Or you can also preselect the AutoCAD file and then run the command
“Model Framing”
Step 4: Ctrl + V to paste the layer name that was copied before to the row “Choose Layer of
Beam”. Then choose Beam Family, width type parameter, and height type parameter,... After that,
click “OK” button to complete.
You need to fill in the Beam sections that will be built into the model in “All sections of Beam,
example: 200x300; 400x600...”
The plugin will get the width between the two lines of Beam in the AutoCAD file to put in a section
with the corresponding width.
So you can only create one Beam section with the same width. For example, if the AutoCAD drawing
has 2 sections 300x600 and 300x800, you can only set 300x600 or 300x800 in the “All sections
of Beam, example: 200x300; 400x600...” box, and the plugin will only be able to create 01
section with a width of 300.
For boundary Beams with only one line showing the Beam width, when you click “Create for
Single Line?”, the plugin will get the first section entered in the “All sections of Beam,
example: 200x300; 400x600...” to create model.
After running the command if the Beams are in the opposite direction, you use the “Change Y
Direction” command to handle this problem:
- Step 1: Choose Beam that want to change Framing Y Justifycation
- Step 2: Run “Change Y Direction” command
After clicking the command “Model Floor”, you select the AutoCAD linked file. The interface will
appear below image. Or you can also preselect the AutoCAD file and then run the command “Model
Floor”
Step 4: Ctrl + V to paste layer name that was copied before to the row “Select Layer of
Hatch/Line”. Then set the settings and click “OK” button to complete.
If you clicked “Only Create Boundary Line”: The plugin will only create Lines with the layer
selected at “Select Layer of Hatch/Line” box.
If you clicked “Only Create Boundary Line of Hatch Floor”: The plugin will only create Lines
of hatch face with the layer selected at “Select Layer of Hatch/Line” box.
