Construction object (building)

Building Display
Properties

Building symbols are used to display the actual on-site buildings within the drawing.
A building is constructed with one of the commands:

In addition, it’s possible to convert the existing polyline (turn it into a symbol of the building).
This is done using the command:

Convert to TCG building

Building Display

In the site plan drawing, construction building is displayed using 3 grouped objects (Figures 1 and 2):

Block Reference - (AutoCAD object "Block" is used to display the house number (building number))
Polyline - (contours of the building base)
Hatch - (hatching of the building symbol)

Figure 1

Figure 2

All building data are linked to AutoCAD object "Polyline".
If you want to modify some data, do it by changing the properties of polyline (Figure 3).
(You mustn’t change the properties of the other two objects ("Block reference" or "Hatch")).

Figure 3

Clarification:

When you select a building in the drawing, Properties window displays only properties from the "General" set of properties (Figure 4).

They are common for all three AutoCAD objects constituting the building.

To display the building properties, select a polyline from the drop-down list ("All (3)") (as in Figure 1).
