Create views with Bentley architecture

 

Hello,when I create a view with Bentley Architecture, how I can appear different setting than the default?

See image.

There is a library DGNLib to control it?

Thank you.

    There is a DGNLIB that stores the default settings for a Building View.  The location/name of this is controlled by the configuration variable MS_VIEWSEEDFILE.  By default the seed views in ustation.dgnlib are used.  Depending on which View Type you are applying it will use the settings from a Saved View in the configured DGNLIB (or ustation.dgnlib) that matches the name assigned by the various configuration variables listed below.  

    MS_VIEWSEEDFILE       = $(_USTN_SITE)seed/Arch_DrawViewSeeds.dgnlib 

    MS_PLANVIEWSEEDNAME = Name of seed view for creating plan views

    MS_ELEVATIONVIEWSEEDNAME = # Name of seed view for creating elevation views

    BB_CEILINGVIEWSEEDNAME = # Name of seed view used for ceiling views

    MS_DETAILVIEWSEEDNAME = # Name of seed view for creating detail views

    MS_SECTIONVIEWSEEDNAME = # Name of seed view for creating section views

     

    I hope this helps,

  • Hello T_Wollet

    I thought MS_VIEWSEEDFILE = $ (TFDIR) dgn /Arch_DrawViewSeeds.dgnlib did not work either, because the views appeared attached to the models. I do not understand.

    Then,I have placed MS_VIEWSEEDFILE MS_VIEWSEEDFILE = $ (_USTN_SITE) DGNLib / Arch_DrawViewSeeds.dgnlib

    All right. Now it is correct.

    I thought it was better $ (_USTN_SITE) DGNLib  than $(_USTN_SITE)seed

    Thank you.

  • Joaquin:

    The reason that you would not want to store the Saved View seeds in a DGNLIB folder is that generally these directories are set to load all DGNLIBs in that directory.  The way the seeds work is that they will copy the saved view definition in MS_VIEWSEEDFILE that is configured by the view type that you are creating (floor plan, elevation, section, etc.).  By not putting the Arch_DrawViewSeeds.dgnlib in a dgnlib folder you will be able to use the saved views as templates for your dynamic views without having all the saved views appear in every DGN file in the project.  

    HTH,
