Draw 2d stud wall sketchup 17 code#
Unless the wall type is conforming to the minimum standard 1 and 2 family dwelling code requirements and construction is noted as such or is detailed that way in the S sheets…įloor and framing plans are traditionally laid out showing outside face of finish at exteriors and center lines of walls and columns, on an overall grid if new construction (do yourself a favor). Usually each Wall Type would also have a section detail showing top and bottom conditions, plates, beams, connectors, These occur in the most economical subsidized housing complexes or hospitality structures.Įach Wall Section is given an Alpha-numeric key, which is then applied to each on the floor plan. Layout within wall type? Example would be an acoustically insulated stagger-stud nominal 2x4 wall on 2圆 plates for a plumbing wall. Spacing, sheathing(s), insulation thermal or acoustic and finish(es) dimensions in thickness and layout.Ĭoordinated with the structural Wall Types which include connections and further specs for the members and layers. Traditional architectural drawings would show a detail of all of the Wall Types as Plan detail, specifying the framing material, dimension, o.c. Short version - outside face of finishes, everything else center lines.
Still in development, he’s doing parametric wall building within SketchUp and seems promising. There are a couple plugins along the same lines: Fredo6’s FredoScale and Tak2hata’s T2H Stretch by Area After decades of producing drawings in this program and using this tool constantly, I really miss such a tool in SketchUp. In my 2D CAD program, I’m used to a “Move Points” tool that ignores groups when moving geometry. If finishes and framing and what not else are all isolated in there own groups, it’s a pain to do something like make a wall 2 feet longer. I agree the problem comes to editing and making changes. Walls are dimensioned as 4" which isn’t correct for either finishes or framing. BTW, it astonishes me what passes for acceptable in the world of mail order plans. It’s another case of GIGO, meaning, if you want to know where finishes are and dimension to them, you need to draw them, and if you want to know where framing is and dimension to that, you need to draw that too.
I am wondering if any architects have developed workarounds. Both are very cumbersome and difficult to adjust to changing floor plans. I tried using the Offset tool after creating a Group from the Section Cut. I have played with Profile Builder with parts of the wall on different layers to turn on and off. Bob Borson (Life of an Architect) says dimension to finished face. Nick Sonder says just draw the stud wall and ignore the finished surface. I have only see two approaches from architects using Sketchup. Other CAD programs address this issue with wall components that can be turned on and off. The issue gets more complicated with some wall structures (rainscreens for example) where the exterior finish is further from the structure to be dimensioned. So, the gypsum board and brick sheathing would be ignored so that the Section Cut outline displayed in Layout is the studs and so, will dimension to studs. The traditional plan dimension are to the studs. The only approach I have seen is to Push/Pull the face brick into a solid and Push/Pull the wall. Take, for example, an exterior wall composed of face brick, air space, brick sheathing, wood studs, and gypsum board.
