Create Viewport from Custom 3D Views

[BrynBarker]

Hi, 

 

I am having trouble taking a custom 3d view and creating a viewport from it. I zoom in on the 3d view that I would like and when I select Create Viewport and try to send it to a sheet, all I get is the WHOLE plan and NOT the custom 3d view.

 

I have gone to multiple tutorials, some saying that you can make these and not say how to do it and others show it but with the whole plan and not a detail of close of of areas in 3d to include on a sheet. Others on so many details but not the basic. And a lot on viewports, but none on this. I need to show a few 3d rendering of the areas that are designed. 

 

I did it before and now I can't do it. It's not creating one. I have a saved view. It would logically make sense to have it in "create viewport" but it's not doing it. I don't see any other options. 

 

If anyone has the tip for sending a 3d snapshot to the sheet layer. 

 

Thank you!

if you are using a viewport style, make sure the setting allow you to choose the view you want.

Once you have zoomed in to your view, hit the 'Align Working Plane with Current View' button on the View Bar...

 

 

... then draw a Rectangle to define the VP crop. Then run Create Viewport.

 

Another option is to place a RW Camera in the file then hit 'Match Current View' in the OIP. Then run Create Viewport.

 

Or if you activate the Walkthrough Tool + navigate to the view you want you can run Create Viewport + the VP will be created from that view.

Oh it worked, not sure if I was hitting or not. I finally completed what I carefully and could not get this. I did before so easily. Thank you for your help!!!

I am now going to set dpi on viewports to print better for pdf (smaller sizes) any tips please send my way. I have saved clip of video to edit sheet and change to 300 dpi. Any other good tips.
