michael john williams Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 How do you all create your live sections in viewports? Lots of classes and make front wall and others invisable with a front viewport seems the best solution so far. But can you cut a 3D section and add it so a viewport? Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Sure can. The 3d Section goes to a Design Layer then you link the DL to the ViewPort and declare the render settings. Works great ! But since sections require a Col. Grid , you need the Column Grid on a separate DL and also linked to its own ViewPort overlaying the Section ViewPort or paste it into annotations.

michael john williams Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Tried that, cuting a 3D section on each floor plan but each floor level has a different design layer which when linked to the viewport are on top of each other rather than above each other. Quote Link to comment
David Ormsby Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 In the Layers options window, set a Z height for each DL. That will stack your floors as desired. Quote Link to comment
Colin Howlett Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Or, create a model view first, then section the model view and create a viewport of that. Incidentally, I've found it useful for perspective or isometric sections to create both a 2d and a 3d section at the same point, then convert the 2d section to 3d and place it over the cut in the 3d section. By fiddling with the fill on the 2d section you can get your 3d section properly poched (otherwise the cut walls look hollow). Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Excellent suggestion on the 2d over 3d sections, CH ! Quote Link to comment
William Ong Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Is everyone knows that once your 3D cut section and viewport to do all the annotation or dimension are seen all right.But when there is any changes of the 3D modeling, all viewport can updated all accept the section view can't.You needed to redo the 3Dcut section again than you have the new update one in you VP sheet.So is there any solutions for that only we edit to 3D model & it will update all the viewport.
