Display the Model

When working with large models, containing many elements, displaying all elements in the isometric view can be confusing. For easier manipulation of elements it is useful to display only the necessary elements. For quicker selection and marking, the elements can be grouped freely or according to certain criteria.

Topics in this section
  • Create a Camera in the Model
    Create cameras in your model to allow individual focus for automatically creating detail drawings.
  • Select Objects for Camera Detailing
    Detail only a part of the elements contained in a camera or a model view with camera properties, by selecting the desired elements.
  • Quick Views
    Quick views allow you to quickly zoom to a selected element, an assembly or a connection and display the objects with a depth limitation.
  • Create Quick Views
    Learn how to create quick views to better manage the display of your 3D model
  • About Saved Model Views
    Model views are local areas from the 3D model that display only objects within the defined space.
  • Create Model Views
    Learn how to create and use model views to better control the display of your 3D model.
  • About Levels
    Levels are a particular case of model views and, like model views, clip the object's visibility when activated. In the 3D space, levels are delimited by one or two work planes.
  • Create Levels
    You can create new levels according to the structure. Existing levels can be copied below or above the building.
  • The Create Level Dialog
    You can set different parameters for the newly created level.
  • About Groups
    Groups are collections of different elements that can be handled at once by several tools. A group may contain any random collection of elements that are otherwise unrelated.
  • Create and Name Groups
    Organize and name groups containing a set of similar types of objects as well as random objects of a mode.
  • Modify the Group Content
    A group may contain any random collection of objects that are otherwise unrelated. In some circumstances it is useful to identify the objects of a selected group within a model. You can highlight the objects of a group.
  • The Work Area
    Defines a working space within the model that differentiates the level of detail.
  • Hide and Display Selected Objects
    Learn how to hide or display a selection of elements in your 3D model.
  • Saved Queries
    Search filters can be named and saved as queries for future use. The list of existing queries is displayed in the Query list of the Project Explorer.
  • Object Representation
    Learn how to use the different object representation types to keep your model clear and simple in the different phases of construction.
  • Model Browser
    The Model Browser provides complete control of all the elements of the model. You can open the Model Browser at any time to get up-to-date information on each object.
  • The Model Browser Dialog
    This dialog box displays the list of elements of a model and their properties as a table. The set of displayed properties can be customized by adding or removing columns.
  • Use the Model Browser
    Sort, select and edit model elements using the options in the Model Browser dialog.
