Detail Components
AutoCAD Architecture uses a tool-based system for managing the components that make up
detail drawings. In addition to the wide selection of pre-configured detail component insertion
tools provided on the sample tool palettes and in the Sample Palette Catalog, an extensive
database of components can be accessed through the Detail Component Manager. These
components can be inserted directly into a drawing, or dragged and dropped onto tool palettes.
All tools can be customized and are fully integrated with the keynoting feature. You can also
use your own databases.
Understanding Detail Components
Detail components represent specific building materials and products, and are
made up of simple two-dimensional (2D) linework entities such as lines,
polylines, arcs, circles, and hatches. In most cases, the detail component is a
collection of such entities grouped as a block, which can be easily copied or
moved like a single entity. The following are examples of detail components
that are inserted as blocks:
â– Bolt heads
â– Fixed-length nails
â– Section views of beams and columns
â– Most section views of framing members
â– Units such as CMUs, bricks, and pavers
â– Connectors
â– Materials with views generated from interrelating parameters; for example,
trusses, precast concrete, and hollow metal frames
