| Introduction Thank you for your interest in the Streets 7 eKit by ARCHIdigm. Before you decide to purchase this product we would like to inform you about what you get and how it works so you don't end up buying something you don't want. The first and most important aspect of this kit that you need to be clear about is that it is not a software product and it does not do anything on its own. Basically, this kit is a library of Styles designed exclusively for Autodesk®'s Architectural Desktop 2007/2009 CAD program. The second important aspect of this kit that we want to make clear is the philosophy behind its structure. We created it out of pure necessity to fill a void in the default Library of Styles that come with ADT and fought with the native Object Style Properties to produce the best compromises we could come up with. The Streets in this eKit have been created from ADT's native Wall Styles. This eKit was not designed to be a substitute for civil engineering work or even as part of detailed construction documentation. It was designed to give architects and designers a suite of tools to rapidly create streetscapes as contextual environments for their own designs. At present, these streetscapes are limited to flat terrains. |

The Levels of Detail The Streets 7 eKit comes directly from the work we do in our office and embodies our approach to implementing Architectural Desktop from concept studies to construction documentation.

| The Content The entire kit was designed to work with ADT's new Tool Palettes, as illustrated to the right, and after installation you simply assemble one or more Palettes as you see fit by dragging content out of the Streets 7 eKit Catalog (from the Content Browser). Below is a list of Object Styles that come with the Streets 7 eKit. Wall Styles have been designed to create a variety of street layouts with and without adjacent sidewalks and curbs. Sidewalks and Curbs have also been created using Wall Styles so you can work on sidewalk conditions independently of the street; i.e., for driveways and ramps. Intersections have been created with Slabs. Standard driveways have been created with Door Styles. Regulatory signs have been created with Mass Elements attached to one common Structural Member (which can easily be changed) and do not require Image Maps. Some Objects, like parking meters and street lights have been created from Curtain Wall Styles to allow for rapid placement of multiples.

CAD
and IT Managers: Some offices have highly customized template files with unique Display Representations, Sets and Configurations that may not work with our kit. We designed this kit for optimum performance using the default template files that come with ADT but all that means is that we utilized the High, Medium, Low and Presentation Display Configurations. Since the Presentation Display Representation is not a Standard Display Representation it will be introduced automatically as will some of the Material Definition Style Display Representation Overrides that we had to use in order to produce Cabinet-like linework. The Object Style files are devoid of undesirable Layers, Colors and Plot Styles. Installation Issues |
