DRAWING TOOLS OVERVIEW

WORKPLANESThe Arch-01 Draw Tools analyies the scene and use the workplane in use, You can choose the workplanewith the Cinema 4D natve tools or use Shift+Left Click to choose a new workplanew

Shift+Left Click works on all objects that generate faces (example: Primitve , Booleans hierarchies, etcw)w

ARCH-01

SNAPArch-01 Draw Tools use an internal snap points system, indipendent of Cinema 4D natve SnapwWhen the mouse is over an object points, a green circle will appear for to indicate the snap point

(Figure 4)

(Figure 5)

You can change at any tme the sensitvity of the snap, with the command Snap Radius

DRAW LINE/ARC

COORDINATE SYSTEMAn important component of the design assisted in Arch-01 is the element Pivotw Pivot Appear as 3 axesobject, and it determines the type of Coordinates Systemsw

Line/Arc tool, work in 2 different Coordinate Systems:

Delta Coordinate System - The next point is measured relatve to the last spline point created (PivotPositon at: last point) Similar to the Cinema 4D'ss Object coordinate systemw (Figure 7)

World Coordinate System - The next point is measured relatve to Cinema 4D'ss world origin point (Pivotpositon at: 0,0,0) Similar to the Cinema 4D'ss World coordinate systemw (Figure 8)

You can Switch to Delta/World at any tme, using Dropdown optons in Arch-01 Manager

COORDINATE TYPELine/Arc tool, work in 2 different Coordinate Types:

Cartesian Coordinates:

Cartesian Coordiantes are coordinates defned by values in 3 orthogonal planes: X, Y and Zw Similar toCinema 4D'ss standard coordinate systemw (Figure 9)

Cartesian Coordinates (Figure 9)

Polar Coordinates: Polar coordinates are defned by rotatonal positons around a center pointw (Figure 10)

L (Length) - the length line segment

A (Angle) - the angle of the line along the Drawing Plane (is measured from the blue Z-axis)ww

E (Elevaton) - Distance from the draw plane in the normal directonw

Polar Coordinates (Figure 10)

You can Switch to Cartesian/Polar at any tme, using Dropdown optons in Arch-01 Manager

USAGE1) Select Draw Line/Arc tool;3) Select Coordinate System and Coordinate Mode;2) Click on plane;

QUANTIZATIONAfter Selectng Coordinate System and Coordinate Mode, you can quantie the Coordinate, by Arch-01 Managerw Enter values in the input felds and hit ENTER

(Figure 11)

LOCK QUANTIZATIONIn Figure11 is shown, for example, how to obtain a segment of the spline, length 100w After clicking, the new spline segment will be created and the Arch-01 Manger input feld, will return to 0 (Zero)w

If you Select the Checkbox , the measure will be Lock and will return Not to 0 (Zero)
