Model Lines to Structural Floors

acil.strmodeller01 — Wed, 02 Nov 2022 11:38:10 GMT

I have Copied the Floor Boundary lines of a particular floor to another floor which converted to model lines,

now I have to pick each line to make the structural floor.

is there any way through which we can select all lines at once.

for reference I have also attached img.

hover over one line with the mouse so it highlights, Do Not click on it
Then press TAB

as long as all the lines are connected, they should all highlight and you can Left click to select them.

Window select or chain select (hold your mouse over one of the lines so that it lights up, press TAB key which will select all the lines in the chain and then press left mouse button to select all the highlighted lines) usually works.

With window select if there are more items selected you can use filter button (bottom right) to deactivate non-line categories.

Select all model lines and copyclip. Start Floor command and paste aligned in place to create the boundary.

Of course, you always have to pick or add a span line to create a structural floor. The point is that you can copy paste the model lines and paste them to create the boundary, without tracing or even redrawing them using pick lines.

such a great little tip. I see so many newer team members going around and around selecting lines. So, I feel like a rock star when I tell them the tab trick.
