Basics of Viewports

[Andrew Mac]

WHere can I find out the basics of setting and creating vierwports? What exactly are viewports and what are the useful for? Aret hey the same things as my sheets (i.e. A1, A2, etc)

Have you read through the info about viewports in the manuals (or in the help file)? This would be a good place to start.

[Jonathan Pickup]

a viewport is like a snapshot or view of your model (3D model or plan) you then place the viewport onto a Sheet layer.

Each Viewport has it?s own:

scale

class settings

layer settings

view directions

crop area (the amount that you see)

and other settings

this allows you to place two or more views of the same plan on a sheet, yet each viewport can show different information...

Have you read the Viewport FAQ in this message board?

It is under the "Feedback Center" discussion area. Maybe it will answer some of your questions.
