HEDA Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 How can you create a elevation of a model? i was using the section viewports function, but everytime it splits the levels of my models so there is a space between each one. Quote Link to comment
panthony Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Heda, Go to the VIEW>CREATE VIEWPORT command and select it after you have built your model. Start with a simple project....maybe just stack some extrusions on top of each other so you can learn how to use the TOOLS>ORGANIZATION commmand and set-up your classes, layers, viewports and sheets. You need to have a sheet made to insert a viewport to. Once that is done then you can creat a viewport and set it to that sheet and define the classes and layers you want to see in the viewport. When finished hit OK and you will be taken to the VP on the sheet you selected. If you are getting gaps between the layers then you have not set up the level of your model correctly....go back to model setup or tools...organization and make sure that the levels are stacked one on top of the other. download this ZIP file of one of my projects. http://www.optimumve.com/Downloads/JPREV.ZIP bounce around in it to see how I set things up so you can see an example.

Ray Libby Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Pete, it looks like the file is corrupted. I'm unable to extract it using WinRAR and getting a damaged archive message. Quote Link to comment
panthony Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I've uploaded a new zip file....this is a zipped .mcd file created on a PC so I don't know if it will open on a mac... http://www.optimumve.com/downloads/JarvisProjectREV.zip Make sure you save the zip to your HD rather than trying to open outright.

Jonathan Pickup Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 there might be a problem with your layer heights. I have an architect manual that shows you how to start a project and work through to working drawings. It shows you how to make elevations of your model using section viewports Quote Link to comment
Don@Black Dog Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Nice roof, Pete. How do you do the see-thru ? (I know it's in the manual somewhere....) Quote Link to comment
panthony Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Set the roof render surface texture to glass instead of shingles or slate. You can duplicate and modify the render texture to suit your desired color and transparency. Pete A. Quote Link to comment
