View sets in section

[Tom Krowka]

While working in plan view, one would have a view set in the navigator. When you click on a placed section, your section generates the elements that are shown in the plan view set.

Now you turn on layers and things you want to see in the section, then define that view set.

Now you go back to the plan, and are working in plan back with the original plan view set.

Click on the section, it shows the plan view set elements, not the section view set elements.

Any way to make the selected section on the floor plan show the section view set without going to the Navigator?

Like they say, "Never say No". But I'm pretty sure on this one.

Try right-clicking on the elevation or section marker to to go selection settings.

Under status of section/elevation view, use the Drawing setting. This may solve what you are looking for.

As a Drawing all you will have is lines and fills; it will not refresh when items are added on the floor plan regardless of layers. I didn't think that's what you were looking for?

i typically have a layer combination that is purely for working (sometimes more than one) that shows model elements. this way you can work away on the model, changing from window to window with the navigator and all will be present for generating the section/elevation stuff.

then, when you're annotating, have a layer combination for almost every different type of drawing: use the viewsets to flick from one 'drawing' to the next making your annotation changes where necessary.

what you are after currently isn't possible i'm afraid, and it's also been a longstanding wish for discrete control over each window rather than one global setting. search through the 'wishes' forums and cast your vote!
