Schematic View Workflow

[Company Call]

Hi hi 

 

i'm re-working my workflow and try to do as much as possible with schematic views as I really like the feature to make building plots,

although I got stuck sometimes because the way I use the system...

That's why I was wondering how other people are using it.

 

- Do you create a hanging position of a complete truss? Or all pieces separate? Or not at all?

Because this impacts how you can use schematic views...

(if you create a hanging position of the complete truss you can not split them apart in a schematic view and create a detailed building plot...)

(if you don't create a hanging position you are missing some useful information you can use to for data tags...)

 

- I love working with data tags; as this is not available how do you guys get along with it? 

- Did anybody found a way to "auto" label schematic views so you know for example that a certain item is one piece of the complete truss? 

 

Tips / Tricks are welcome

Shameless plug: Savvy Position Label works uniformly with all rigging object types and schematic views. The demo period is currently extended to 90 days.

The Savvy plug ins are indeed very slick!

Thanks for the plugin! Looks like a great tool!

I'm playing around with it atm, but i'm I missing something or is it not possible to link trusses to a position label when you're in the annotations view in a viewport?

 

 

Thanks!

There are some issues with the visual feedback in viewports, but you can link to objects via name.
