Detail sheets

Anonymous

I need to determine the best approach to assembling detail sheets using live views of the model. I also need to start by keying larger areas on the plan which will be Isometric views of a chunk of building that will then be dimensioned, notated and keyed with more standard sectional details. Those details will reside on the sheet with the "parent" Isometric view.

I am unsure how to chain this together though. First off, the Isometric view I could Save View and Place on Layout. This allows for updating of the building to continue with the ISO views auto-refreshing along the way. However, I cannot notate or dimension this view as it goes straight from 3d window to Layout. Additionally, I need to have the secondary larger scale details keyed in the this 3d view as well.

So, is there an approach to use to maintain a live update of details as I move through DD Phase and allows for some notation and cross referencing back to my plans?

Hello Mark,
Yes, it's much easier and better and, though this object was written
in AC 6.5, it works much better now with the expanded 3D pet pallet.

Thanks Richard and Peter,
I'll purchase and test out. I have wanted this function on many occasions and relied on jpgs , cad line work and text blocks. This looks to me much easier.
OK. I purchased and everything seems to work fine in Version 11

Thanks,
