How to Use Styles to Control The Appearance of Sections and Section Views

Additional Exercise;

In this exercise, you used styles to control the appearance of sections and section views. You learned about the difference between “regular” sections and corridor sections as well as the different ways in which they are stylized and annotated. You saw how to use group plot styles to arrange large numbers of section views into individual sheets. Finally, you used section view labels to provide even more detail to your section views.

In the following exercise, you will apply what you have learned about displaying and annotating sections and section views to the Madison Lane road design.

Open the drawing named Section Views Beyond.dwg located in the Chapter 11 class data folder. Use the following basic guidelines to change the display of the sections and section views contained within the section sheets.
  1. Assign the following styles to the section view group:
    1. Arrange the section views using the Bottom Up – Left To Right With Grid group plot style.
    2. Apply the Design 1V – No Grid section view style to all section views.
    3. Apply the _No Bands band set to all section views.
    4. Apply the label set named Rock to the rock sections.
    5. Apply the Presentation code set style to the Madison Lane corridor section.
  2. Update the group layout after you’ve made the preceding changes.
  3. Create section view labels for any section views that fall within the bus pull-off at station 3+00 (0+090). The labels should call out the offset and elevation of the right edge of pavement.
