Tip: Using View Lists to Redefine Views

Please dismiss this if it has been mentioned before, but I thought I'd share something I have discovered recently and used succesfully.

In setting up many templates, I am defining and redefining views a lot of the time. This can be somewhat cumbersome in the Organizer, so I have turned to the View List to redefine my views and it works quite well. The best part is being able to see the status of all views in one window. Everything is interactive, so redefining is spot on.

The downfalls are that we can only redefine one view at a time, and there are no available parameters for Zooming, Floor Plan Cut Plane or Source View. Hopefully GS will include these soon!

Still it is pretty handy. Same interactivity can be used with the Sheet Index and Drawing List.

Cheers,
Link.

I believe that's MR. Lateral Thinker

Here you are again Link looking at the same thing the rest of see, and wondering, and then pursuing your "what's really going on" train of thought. It's so easy to get caught up in the graphic interface and not move beyond that plane.........Nice work

What else ya got mate?

No doubt about it - this is the Tip of the Year!

Someone needs to give these power users the credit they deserve. Graphisoft should think about incorporating a rating system, where other users could vote on posts, for good or bad. Simply judging on the number of posts is not an accurate means of determining expertise. Just because someone posts a lot doesn't mean it good info. Give me quality over quantity anyday.

Some of the higher posters here just submit crap. This tip is a good example of delivering the essence of what we need to know to use archicad better.

Good job Link! Thanks for your contribution to this forum - keep it up!
