CREATE A SECTION VIEW

You can duplicate an existing Section, to do this refer to CREATE A COPY OF A VIEW or SCHEDULE.

Or you can create a brand new section.

Creating a Section (whether new or duplicated) will place a reference that will appear in all views.

However if a working Section is used the reference won't appear in views that are on sheets.

Under View tab select Section.

Draw the section by picking beginning and end points.

Select the flip arrows to flip the section,

Select the blue grips to change the width and depth of the section.

Make sure the section is selected by selecing the section line (not the reference circle).

The view's properties will be display in the Properties window.

In the Properties window:

Rename the view with a prefix of X-yourintitals_ - (e.g. X-AW_working).

Also change Sheet Series.SH parameter to working.

Next change the floor plan type to Working.

1. Click on the triangle to right in top box of Properties window.

2. Select working.

The Callout reference may disappear if you created it in a view that is on a sheet.

However you will find in the Project Browser under working:

which is why it is important to ALWAYS NAME THE VIEWS YOU CREATE.

When you go to the section view you may need to adjust it Crop Box.

Select the box around the section, pick a control grip and move it to adjust the extents of the view.
