DetailsI don’t know what key I hit by mistake, but suddenly all copies take place “on the spot”, without the usual 45° shift of the duplicated image. How can I get this shift back? You have to enable the duplication with offset. Choose Process Offset from the Edit menu or press the F key. The F…
DetailsPictures can’t be rotated in Domus.Cad. so I tried saving the picture as an object, then rotating it, but it doesn’t work. Any suggestions? P.S. – the scanning software and graphic converter only allow rotation in 90 degree increments. What scanning software are you using? What are the supported exporting formats (PICT, GIF, JPEC, TIFF, ……
DetailsHow do you control the depth of the Section view, say at 1:50 so it shows detail to a depth of 1-2m. There is no way to automatically control the depth. Domus.Cad always shows the entire model. If you need to see different details when you change the scale, I suggest you should use different materials…
DetailsWrong scale in importing dxf-dwg files Regarding the wrong scale in importing DWG and DXF file, it depends usually on a wrong unit of measurement. Inside AutoCAD there isn’t a unit of measure like in Domus.Cad, but a unit of design. In printing, the user specifies the length of the unit of design, so the…
DetailsHow to export a 2D drawing To export a 2D drawing there are 2 methods. The first is the Layers->Export Active Layer -> in DXF/DWG Format. This command exports the current active layer only. The second is the File->Export->Page in DXF/DWG format. This command exports the content of the current drawing table. Before using this command…

Copy the new elevation or section generated to an empty layer and check it against the previous layer. You can update the differences…
DetailsIn terms of working with layers and assigning different elements to a layer – ie separate layer for walls, beams, roof slabs, ceilings (assuming a single level building) What do you suggest you set at the reference height for each layer I’ve been primarily working with walls at level (0000) wall height is say 2900 I…
DetailsHow can I create people, animals, etc. in a 3D view ? You can either create 3D models (quite complicated), import a 3D model in DWG, DXF and 3DS formats or insert the images people or animals into the 3D view. For example: create a 3D view and place it on a free layer import…
