- The article emphasizes the importance of diligently adding elements like a parking schedule to a campus plan, creating a visual and easy-to-understand representation of all the available spaces.
- Setting up detailed floor plans is crucial, starting with the first level as it sets the tone for the rest. It's essential to choose a good location for this plan, account for any overhangs from upper levels, and adjust the view title accordingly.
- The article also notes the utility of a guide grid to facilitate the addition of subsequent plans to the floor plan sheet. Once all plans are on the sheets, revisions can be added and the final print to PDF can be executed, ready to be reviewed and submitted.

Another thing we want to add to this campus plan here is our parking schedule, since we did take the time to put that together. So it's good to have something like that on here, since it is an easy way of just calculating all of those spaces. And it looks pretty good, the formatting already, so we don't have to go back in and change it.
Now that we've got the site plans all set up, the next thing is going to be our floor plans. And so what we'll want to do is grab our first one, which is our level one floor plan. And I like to go ahead and place this in the location that I'm looking for here, because this one's going to be the one that sets the tone for the rest of them.
So I want to make sure I get this in a good spot, which we do have right now. And then I'll adjust my view title accordingly. And it's important to note that, you know, the plan is going to come down further into this area, because we do have the overhang on level two there.
So you want to make sure you account for that as well. And with it set up here, I can add the guide grid now and trim it down to the point where it's just on one of our greater intersections here at the top. And then I'll move the guide grid to the plan location.
And right now I'm running into an issue where constraint is checked, but I can uncheck that and kind of move it into place here and then just adjust it. Now I have my guide grid in place. So what I can do is I can go in and I can easily add my level two plan to this floor plan sheet now because I have the guide grid ready to go.
So just move it from that grid intersection here and then adjust my view title and then do the same thing with my roof plan sheet. And the order is not that important. So I place the view first and then now I can turn on the guide grid and then I'll adjust again the view title.
And now I've got all the plans that I want on sheets. I can go ahead and add my revisions. So I'll go to my revisions from my view tab and I want to make sure my first one, we're going to go with alphanumeric for the numbering and I'll call this one midterm.
And then I can go in now and on each one of my sheets, I can set the revision to be for midterm on each one of these. And you'll notice it'll, it'll add it into our, into the title sheet as well. If I go back to the title sheet here, I can add these without going to each one of them just by clicking on it in the properties and just checking that box.
And you can see as I go through and do that, they get updated and now I've got it all set and we just want to print to PDF all of these sheets and then we're ready to go with the midterm. So I'll go to print to PDF and get my settings correctly. And so these are going to be the, uh, arch E one sheets, making sure I have it set to zoom and then center on these two.
And then I'll also check the hide unreferenced view tags on here because I don't want that to show up. And then I can go ahead and select the sheets that I want. And remember, every time you change that, it's going to try to print individual PDFs.
And so I'm going to print all these sheets here and I'll hit okay. It's going to ask me to save it and I'll go ahead and save this as BIM 302 with your first and last name. And I'll throw a midterm at the end of it so we know what it is.
Now with it open, you'll just want to do a quick look through each of the sheets to make sure everything looks good. And this one looks good and is ready to go.
