the settings of the 3d document

Is it possible to save the settings of the 3d document?

I am not quite sure I understand.

Each 3D Document you create has its own settings (just like elevations/sections).

So all of the 'Model Appearance' settings (coloured surfaces, transparency, shadows, etc.) are all saved with the 3D Document.

If you want different settings, you have to save a new (separate) 3D Document with those different settings,

Just as you do for elevations.sections.

Greeting!

Yes you're right. I knew about these settings and parameters that you wrote before this. I meant, is it possible to export these settings so that the next project already has them?!

You can't import/export them from one file to another.

But you can set up 3D Documents with the settings you want in your template, so they will be available in all new jobs based on that template.

Greeting! Why Graphisoft won't do export and import for 3d document?

You can't import/export any view points (project map) or views (view map) from one file to another.

That is just the way it is - they are unique to each file I guess.

You can copy and paste a section/elevation marker from one file to another and that will create the view point, you still have to create the view.

3D Documents do not have a marker - so nothing to copy.

They are a particular view of a model in 3D that won't exist in any other file - so nothing to import/export.

The settings for a 3D Document are particular to each document - there is no scheme or combination of settings that can be saved and re-used in another document.

That is why I set up 3D documents in my template.

They may actually be looking at nothing until you model something, but at least you have all the settings in each file you start from that template.
