Add Views to a Sheet

Create duplicates of a single view to add that view to more than one sheet.

You can add one or more views of a building to a sheet, including floor plans, site plans, ceiling plans, elevations, 3D views, sections, detail views, drafting views, and rendered views. Each view can be placed on one sheet only. To add a particular view to multiple sheets in a project, create duplicate views, and place each one on a different sheet. To quickly open and identify the sheet a view is placed on, in the Project Browser, right-click the view name, and click Open Sheet.

You can apply standard settings to a view on a sheet by using a viewport type. For example, you can create a viewport type that does not display a view title on a sheet, or that uses a different color and weight for the line that separates the drawing from its title.

To add views to a sheet

1. Open the sheet.
2. To add a view to the sheet, use one of the following methods:
   • In the Project Browser, expand the list of views, locate the view, and drag it onto the sheet.
   • Click View tabSheet Composition panel (Place View). In the Views dialog, select a view, and click Add View to Sheet.
3. As you move the cursor over the sheet in the drawing area, a viewport for the selected view moves with it. Click to place the viewport in the desired location. Use the Align Views on a Sheet for precise placement on sheets. Use Snap to Sheet to snap between datums in the model viewport and annotations on the sheet.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to add more views to the sheet, if desired.
5. If needed, you can modify the individual views on the sheet as follows:
   • To change the view title that displays on the sheet, double-click the title, and edit it.
   • To move the view to a new location on the sheet, select its viewport, and drag it. You can align views to grid lines for precise placement.

Example

Example Structural View

You can now do any of the following:

• Change the scale of the view.
  Note: If the sheet contains multiple views displayed at different scales, the Scale parameter shows 'As indicated'. Use the title block type parameter 'Scale Override (Multiple Values)' to set an alternative value.
• Add dimensions to the view.
• Add text notes to the view.
• Pan the view.
