scarella Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I have 2 model files: 1. 3d Site Model pointing True North 2. Building Model Rotated conveniently for drawing. I have created workgroup reference within file 1 (site) to design layers in file 2 (bldg), and have rotated these referenced layers (fp1, fp2 etc) according to North. I now need to add design layers to file 2 (bldg). Is there no way to maintain the same rotation of the other referenced layers without manually re-rotating the new references? If link layers were allowed to be imported, this problem would not exist. Am I missing something obvious? VW 12.5 user, PC and Mac Platforms. sandro Quote Link to comment
Jonathan Pickup Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 yes. step 1, do not rotate your referenced layers. step 2, create a layer link or a Design Layer Viewport from the referenced layers to a "working layer" that way, you can add new referenced layers and turn then on in the DLVP Quote Link to comment
scarella Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm working with VW 12.5, which doesn't have the capability of creating a DLVP. The problem is I need to reorient those referenced layers, ie. rotate them with respect to the site model into which I'm importing them. Is this not possible except with VW2008? sandro yes. step 1, do not rotate your referenced layers. step 2, create a layer link or a Design Layer Viewport from the referenced layers to a "working layer" that way, you can add new referenced layers and turn then on in the DLVP Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Use the same process with Layer Links (as per Jonathon's post above). Quote Link to comment
scarella Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Thanks, I finally got it. Imported into site model, created a layer link then rotated the layer link. works perfectly. cheers and thx again. sandro Quote Link to comment
