Spray Foam Insulation Hatch Pattern For Autocad

by

Applies to: - Revit Architecture New Feature / Problem: I really miss this feature from 'that other' Autodesk application. The ability to have batten insulation shown, scaled and aligned in our walls. Why do you need this Feature / Why is it a Problem: National standard/code requires this. Almost each and every wall we create have batten insulation in them (Heat insulation and/or sound reduction) Workflow: When done modelling all the walls with batten insulations in them we´ll have to trace them with the Annotate > Insulation tool. (yawn) Benefits: Would ensure that the batten insulation follows the wall, when the wall moves or if the wall insulation layer thickness changes.

We are also using fiberglass batts, and the usual insulation linetype for that. We are using a metal panel on part of the exterior, which has mineral wool insulation, and I want to use a hatch pattern that is easily differentiated, and that reads like mineral wool.

Besides, it would save hours and hours of manual labor tracing and updating the traces on the walls. Attachment comments.

Qxdm license cracked egg. Its a weird hybrid of modeled but flexible. You select an object, sketch rebar on a workplane (and rebar allows a section view to BE the workplane), and it basically forms a much more nimble Array: Not grouped, drag handles, stretchable, changeable, and lightweight. Plus, IT EXISTS IN THE 3D MODEL Asking for Insulation to be a 'better pattern' isnt what we should be after. We should be looking for it to effortlessly become part of the model.

Insulation is real, and it affects a LOT of things in Architecture. I have one thing to say to this (and I have also always practised what I preach, unless someone is paying me for doing stupid, mindless, needless work): Screw national standards. Look at the legend, my insulation hatching is defined in there. The day I am voluntary spending my time drawing linework to match an ancient, outdated relic from hand-drafting time is the day I will have to find a new profession. And for that matter: I have done a few hundred project projects in a country that adores his drawing standards and I have had 2 or 3 of them where the local authorities demanded to change my hatching to match drafting standards even after I explained that this was not possible in my software. Those buildings all still stand, and are built according to specifications.

No hell breaking loose, the world didn't stop spinning. We all live happily ever after.

So, I would very much like the factory to focuss on stuff more useful. But that's just my 2ct. You can make it a wall layer in the wall makeup, if you are prepared to: a.

Define it at the type level b. Have a crap ton of wall types c. Get really ugly with even MORE stacked walls Insulation brings a lot of the same issues as Sheathing to the table, but it does it in more exaggerated form: There are different types of insulation that go in the stud cavity (Batt, spray in, etc), and to make matters worse. They dont always FILL the stud cavity.
