Four simple toolbars within AutoCAD LT give
access to all commands and symbols in LT Architect.
Drawing walls
Standard sizes for external cavity, single,
stone and internal walls can be defined within a simple dialogue box.
The wall drawing commands automatically pick
up the settings entered here. Once the external and internal walls
have been drawn, doors and windows can be added.
Doors
Because the simple door dialogue box allows
you to easily select the elevation, sizes, style and type of door,
it means that when the door is inserted into a wall it looks exactly
the way you want it to. The dialogue box below displays the door types
and also shows some of the available styles.
Window settings like doors in LT Architect
use a simple dialogue to control the elevation, height, width, number
of panes, jamb size and position, internal/external sill options and
sizes. The flexibility of the parametric windows means that almost
any design can be produced. Just look at the choice of styles.
Because the wall capping can be inserted
with door and window symbols, walls can be automatically broken
around these symbols using the break wall command. Simply select
the door or window and LT Architect does the rest.
You have complete control of stairs with LT Architect.
In plan you can define the style (straight, ½ or ¼
turn), control the sizes and have options for winders, cut-lines
and optional numbering.
You also have access to
a wide range of Elevations and Sections, with the option to conform
to current building regulations.
As most of the symbols in LT Architect are
available in elevation as well as plan, they can be used to quickly
add detail to your internal or external elevations.
Building Sections in seconds
The parametric wall sections and trusses that
are in LT Architect allow you to quickly and easily create building
section detail. Pick the type of section, enter the required dimensions,
and then just place it on the drawing, it's that easy. The dialogue
box below shows just a few examples.
LT Architect contains a comprehensive range of
structural steel details for construction and fabrication, including
assemblies, beams & columns, welds, hole patterns, gussets and
base plates.
Timber Stud Panelling
LT Architect gives you parametric Timber stud
panels in plan and elevation. You can specify the key sizes and
select from the following types: - Door opening, Window opening,
Door & Window opening and No-opening.
LT Architect has hundreds of symbols including
Plumbing, Heating, Furniture, Electrical and Kitchen, to help you
add further detail to your designs. Use the toolbar below to view
the different symbol categories.
Many of these symbols are not just blocks that have to be stretched
and scaled to the correct size, but are more intelligent parametric
symbols. This means that you can define the key dimensions and the
symbol is drawn to the size you require.
Low in Cost but High in Features
LT Architect offers a quick and efficient method
of producing architectural designs. While LT Architect is a low
cost extension to AutoCAD LT it provides productivity
gains never before available within this software, and therefore
represents a very cost effective design solution for architectural
designers.
