To Move Section Views to a Different Section View Group

You can move one or more section views into a specified section view group.

• The section views that you want to move and the destination section view group must share the same sample line group.
• Section views can be moved from the individual section views collection to a section view group, or from one section view group to another section view group.
  Note: Section views cannot be moved into the individual section views collection.

When you move section views to a different section view group, the following occurs:

• The section views are inserted into the section view group in order of their stationing. They are inserted between existing section views in the group as needed so all the section views are in order.
• If the styles are different, the section views you are moving can keep their existing styles, or they can use the style of the destination section view group.

In the following example, an individual section SL-25 needs to be moved into the section view group. Its chainage is 1+75 so it will be inserted between the sections for chainage 1+50 and 2+00.

The following illustration shows the section view inserted into the section view group. You can choose to keep the existing stylization, as shown in this example, or you can choose to apply the stylization of the destination section view group to the moved sections. The section view for chainage 3+00 was moved to the next sheet.
