Drawing objects

1.4 Drawing objects
Drawing views may contain several types of objects. Some of them come from the model and
represent something that will exist in the real building or will be closely related to it. Others
are objects that represent information that is only relevant in the drawing, or that add extra
information to the information in the model. Drawings may include the following object
types:
•
Building objects: parts, bolts, welds, chamfers, reinforcing bars, surface treatment, etc.
•
Associative annotation objects: dimensions, marks, associative notes
•
Independent annotation objects that are not linked to the model: text, text files, symbols,
link, hyperlinks, DWG/DXF files, and reference models
•
Shapes: drawing shapes used for highlighting parts of the drawing (clouds, lines,
rectangles, etc.)
