Model views & Layouts

[cocoloco]

Hi! This is about Layouts and model views. The way we work with clients we add elevations during the preliminary design stage. In this stage we have different model views setting (hiding CI tool cabinet symbols). than in the final stage (no cabinet symbols). I noticed that when we change the model views setting (which update in the elevations).... It DOES NOT update samely in layout. And the layouts shows old setting. It also unfortunately won't show if walls change during "options" stage... And I have to re-add the whole floor plan in order to show new walls (even if Option is chosen as default and the old option is removed). 

Should not this all seamlessly update? Is this an error or is it how it is and I just have to keep re-adding elevators and floor plans over and over again if I want it to update based on "options default" or Model View settings? 

Thank you

You are changing the MVO in the Views settings?

What do you mean by "re-add"? Are they Hotlinks? Or are you talking about the Drawing on the Layout? Have you tried forcing the Layout to update its Views?

I can only assume you are following the correct procedure which is ...

In the 'Project Map' you have one 'View Point' for each storey, elevation, section, detail, etc.

You create 'Views' of these in the 'View Map'.

Each of these views has its own 'View Settings' that controls scale, layers, pens, Model View Option combination, etc.

None of these settings should ever say 'Custom'.

You now place those 'Views' on the layout pages as 'Drawings' (you can just drag a view from the view map onto a layout - that is the easiest way).

If you are following this procedure, then if you ever make any changes to the Model View Option settings for a particular MVO combination (scheme), then any view that is set to use that MVO combination will update automatically and all drawings based on that view will also update.

Should you want to change to a different MVO combination entirely, then you adjust the 'View Settings' and again all drawings based on that view will update.

Once set up properly, it should all be automatic from model to drawings on layouts.

not hotflix, I am talking about drawings (interior elevations) on the layouts . yes I tried forcing, but nope.

Correct, I am following these (I just am not really using the view map but I went to the setting and everything was correct). The only thing that bugs me is maybe layer combination was different at the time where I placed the elevations in the layouts. And that's something I can't change and have to re-add. Is this correct? 

EDIT: ok got it! and I see layer combo too.
