Interior Design - Creating Object specific drawings (Sections/Plans)

Emre Senoglu
Expert
Hey all - I'm working on an interior renovation project right now and my final drawing set will have plans / sections as well as drawings for objects. For example I will need to show the dimensions of a lamp I've drawn laid out on a single page. Is there a way of doing this without switching to a detail or worksheet, so that the drawing is still tied to the GDL object or for another case a curtain wall?

Can you not just create a Layer Combination then use the standard plan, section and elevation tools to isolate them?

Though for things to be associated with a GDL object, the object needs to have unique Hotspots that you can link to.

Ahhh yes exactly, layer combinations would do the trick. I'm not that experienced in GDL creation for now, so I wouldn't be able to create the hotspots, but linking the drawing to the actual objects on the plan (instead of say creating a static 2d worksheet) will be very useful for now. Thanks!
