Creating Sections in AutoCAD Architecture<br /><br />In ACA, you work with intelligent building objects (walls, doors, windows, slabs). From these, you can automatically generate sections and elevations.<br /><br />🛠️ Steps to Create a Section in AutoCAD Architecture<br />1. Prepare Your Model<br /><br />Make sure your building is drawn with ACA objects (Walls, Doors, Windows, Roofs, Slabs).<br /><br />Sections only work properly with these intelligent objects (not just plain lines).<br /><br />2. Use the Section Tool<br /><br />Go to the Home tab → Section & Elevation panel.<br /><br />Click Section Line.<br /><br />Pick points across your model where you want the section cut.<br /><br />Right-click → Enter to finish.<br />👉 A section line is created in plan view.<br /><br />3. Generate the Section<br /><br />Select the Section Line.<br /><br />Right-click → Generate Section/Elevation.<br /><br />In the dialog box:<br /><br />Choose 2D Section/Elevation (for drafting)<br /><br />or 3D Section/Elevation (for visualization).<br /><br />Place the section view in your drawing area.<br /><br />4. Refine the Section<br /><br />The section is a smart block linked to your model.<br /><br />If you change the model (move a wall, add a window), you can update the section by right-clicking → Regen Section/Elevation.<br /><br />Add hatches, dimensions, annotations for clarity.<br /><br />5. Output<br /><br />You can place multiple sections (longitudinal, cross) in one drawing.<br /><br />These can be used for construction documents.<br /><br />✅ Summary<br /><br />Draw with ACA objects (not just lines).<br /><br />Insert Section Line along the cut.<br /><br />Generate Section/Elevation view automatically.<br /><br />Update when the model changes.
