Repeating detail customisation


Editing a Tile LHS into Slate LHS
To create a new repeating detail the only way I can find to create new is to use one of the existing ones (which I think are system families) and edit it. The repeating detail uses an existing detail family so start by editing and renaming something close. In this example I am starting with Roof tile LHS - just pick in the family browser and "edit". There are no ref planes or different views - its just 2D so just change lines to represent something like and take a note of the insert point from where it inserts in a project. You can load in other detail families such as timber battens. Then save-as and load into the project.

  





Adding repeating detail - Annotate tab>component>repeating detail and in Properties pick a detail that is near (Roof tile LHS) > duplicate > name  and in detail pick the detail family just edited and set the spacing (in this case 150mm) and then just insert along the repeating path
