Learn how to place model and annotation elements in views of the model.
| Term/Concept | Definition |
|---|---|
| Model Elements | Used to define the geometry of the model. Once placed, model elements display instantly in all views. In most cases the model elements represent physical elements such as walls, windows, and doors. All of the categories for model elements are found on the Model tab of the Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog and the Object Styles dialog. |

Large-scale details such as a wall foundation or parapet will use annotation and detail elements to fully illustrate the condition. |
| Model Views | Used to see the model from different viewpoints. Each view is controlled independently. When a model element is placed in a view, this element will be visible in all other views, according to the visibility and graphics settings for each view. Annotation elements placed in a view will only be visible in the view they are placed in. |
| Visibility Override | Method used to change the visibility status and graphic appearance of individual elements. Select the element in the drawing area, right-click, and apply a visibility override from the context menu. The visibility override has priority over the visibility settings applied to the category in the view. This override allows you to display individual elements as needed in a view. For example, a single door could be set to display as "halftone" while all other doors are displayed as normal. |
