To Work With Multi-View Blocks

Change the attributes of a multi-view block in a drawing. For example, you can change the rotation or the scaling factor.

There is a multi-view block contextual ribbon in Autodesk Civil 3D 2024 that you can use to access commonly-used commands. Select the multi-view block in the drawing to display this ribbon tab.

Note: If you select a multi-view block in a drawing and the multi-view block contextual ribbon is not displayed, use the EXPLODE command to explode the multi-view block. Multi-view blocks are embedded in an enclosing block reference when they are initially inserted and must be exploded before they can be recognized by Autodesk Civil 3D as a multi-view block object.
