20.1. Create Plan Views & View Range

CREATE PLAN VIEWS

Plan Views are always associated with a specific Level.


Reflected Ceiling Plan are the same as plan views, except the view is looking up instead of down. They are also associated to a level.


When creating a new plan view, you will be asked to choose a level to associate the view. If the level you want is not available, it means a view already exist in your project.



Associated level is indicated in properties:




ADJUST VIEW RANGE


View Range is located in the instance properties of a view.


View range controls what part of your project is visible in a Plan or RCP. Objects that are in the Cut Plane plan will display with thick lines, the objects in the Visible Range will display with light lines. The View Range dialog looks complicated, but most of the time what you need to set is actually simple. Have a look at the images next page to understand.
