Creating 2D views of selected objects

Hello hive mind,

I'm completing a model to include pre-manufactured stud frame sections, and need to be able to display the individual frames in 2D documentation. I do not want to replicate the frames as this would affect the timber schedule. The frames are currently groups of elements, formerly columns and beams, now in A-EF-20-10 Frame layer.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

You can select group of elements of needed frame, open them in 3D, select right projection and save it as 3D document. In 3D document you can annotate your frame and place dimensions.

See example of steel angles drawings made for manufacturing, using this technique:
