GC architecture style drawing

Hello.
Until now, I used SW for fairly simple mechanical parts.
The basic drawing and dimensioning in SW was more than enough for me.

I now need to make drawings with a Civil Engineering / Architecture dimension style:

  • see queues (how to make queues in SW? make a sketch dedicated to that?
    - have a rating system showing an elevation.
    -how to make a ground plan in solidworks, how to use an aerial view in SW?
    -If anyone has an example of an archi / GC plan in sw, I'll be interested.

Thank you
Have a nice day.

Hello

  • A few examples illustrating the "queues" would be welcome;
  • I don't see any particular problem for ground planes. We just have to do some part to model the terrain;
  • You can insert an image file into a file near SW (you have to do it in a sketch).

@stefbeno the " files " are the discontinuous lines named from 1 to x for example and from A to y for example drawn for the alignment of the different columns. (see ISO image as an example)
No known solution for me to do it automatically. (SW is not a carpentry software like Teckla for example)
For my part, I would have drawn a sketch that could be recovered from the MEP

Thank you all for your answers.

I started to make a part dedicated to a sketch '  files'
-But on a " big " assembly impossible to make this sketch visible, it is always invisible. Bug or bad handling? I don't know.

I'm starting to think that I'm going to have to make strokes and bubbles directly in the MEP.

For the ground plan I glued an image on one side of a very simple part.

have a good afternoon

You insert your view(s) in your MEP and then in your tree and you display the sketch:
Before:


After:
in 1: View, Hide/Show, Sketch
In 2 right click Show

That's what I do, and on a fairly heavy assembly, it doesn't work...

Do a new MEP after making the sketch visible in your room to see if it comes from there.

Indeed, it becomes visible from a new MEP.
On the other hand, it remains invisible in the assembly although it is ticked "make visible"

In the assembly, is the sketch display enabled:
