Appearance of Windows & Doors in the Schedule

Anonymous — Thu, 15 May 2014 03:19:17 GMT

Can anybody tell me how to set my parameters in a window and door schedule so that I have a 2D black and white elevation drawing of the window or door rather than a 3D view that shows materials / colours.

You will need to create a Model View Option for you schedules that has "Override Fill Background Colour" turned on then set it to a "Transparent Fill".
Then STORE this MVO scheme as "Schedules" or some similar name.

Then make sure you set your schedule view to use this "Schedules" MVO scheme.

You may also need to set up and use a Black & White pen set if you don't already.
Although I leave the standard colour pen set in my schedules and simply change the pen set when I place the drawing of the schedule on a layout.

Hi Barry,
Thanks so much, I should have posted 2 hours ago! That worked very well and I have learnt about MVO's in the process.
I thought it might be as simple as choosing a 2D elevation view under 'scheme settings' in the schedule but it does not exist as far as I can see.
