hey hey this is your channel the lazy arquitecto helping you in in reaching our
dreams to be an architect
today's tip is a custom, well two custom commands that I created for my personal
use which I love them and they are the isolate hide and the isolate fade now
let me explain you when and why we can use these two powerful commands example
1 let's say I want to hatch this other restroom the way that I did it in this
case which the hatch means by the way gyp board now if we use a normal
hatch can you see what happens it comes in pieces but if we use our isolate
hide we can select this enter hatch and boom now we go unisolate and we
have our restroom ready you see how easy was now example 2 let's say I want to
count how many of these lights I have on my reflected ceiling plan all I have to
do is isolate hide click on my light enter select my lights
and now you can see with my quick properties that I have 161 light 2x4
lights by the way see how easy was now unisolate again now let's explain when can
we use the isolate fade command for instance let's say right now from this
wall I to the restroom wall I have 10 feet two and let's say I wanted to have
only 9 feet so if I try to stretch these restrooms see what happened so let's use
now the fade isolate fate common we're gonna need this this this and finally
this enter now we can stretch this from here from this wall we said we need 9
feet so 9 feet enter can you see how easy was and is so
perfectly aligned now we're going to do unisolate and all we have to do is fix
our hatch
can you see how easy was so let's explain how do we create these two
powerful commands as you can see I remove them already so I can redo it go
to the cui enter ribbon panels home layers Row 1 and for these we need to
remove two commands from the home layers I'm going to remove layer isolate
because this is the basic isolate we're not going to need it anymore and one
more is I'm going to remove the previous because I'll never use it
you can remove other one if you want and don't worry because these commands are
here at the bottom so you can put it back whenever you want
now I'm going to isolate as you can see I already have my isolate high and fake
but I will create it again for you so you can see duplicate rename it hide
enter and since I already have my macro that I created I will copy and I will
place it right here a brief description is CC for escape layiso command as for
settings and off which means the layer off okay now the next step is to add the
letter H for hide and we're going to do it here edit red grid and we're
going to draw a big letter h
undo undo undo the lender i can remove this right here okay so now we're going to
export it and I rename it isolate hi save and close and no because we don't
want to overwrite the existing icon now we're going to go here select the same
here for large image okay now these command is ready now we have to do the
same process for the isolate fade I'll go here
I'm going to duplicate rename it fade enter again since I'm already I already
have this macro I will copy I will paste it here a brief description CC escape
layiso command s for settings l for lock and fade and seventy for seventy
percent okay last step is to add the letter so we're going to do a big F then
export it Isolate fade save close no and then we're going to assign the icon to
the command okay we're almost ready so now all we need to do is grab our
brand new commands and then left click on them and drag it over here now apply
and okay as you can see right here boom here you have them you can use it I'm
going to test that really quick so hide click enter unisolate fade click enter
boom all right guys that was the tip for today if you found
