Making a Magic Sheet

If you channeled your beams, you can easily lay out a magic sheet.

  1. Switch to a sheet layer. 
  2. If you like, use viewports to create a cropped, miniature version of the set. Make sure the 0,0 point of your drawing is snappable in the viewport. 
  3. Select the BeamViz Magic tool. Beam_Draw_Magic
  4.  Click in the drawing at the 0,0 point of your magic sheet. 
  5. Use Object Info to pick a layer — all channeled beams will appear as numbers in the Magic object. 
  6. Set a scale in Obj Info (e.g. 1/8″=1′-0″ would be 96). 
  7. Set the font for the channel numbers via the text menu. 
  8. Use Object Info to provide an offset for all channels (e.g. numbers are +10) or show them reverse and repeated. You can also ensure a near/center/far numbering pattern. 
  9. The Move by Points tool can be useful for duplicating your Magic object / viewport combination.
