I created one Mass Model created from a number of references
I then created a number of plans, elevation and sections
I then added a site mass to my mass model
Can I control the elevations different from the plans
I want to see the site mass on elevations and sections but not plans
It appears that whatever references are visible in the model are visible in all saved views
(Kinda like I used to do with Group Models)
I havnt really got into V8i yet but Ive been playing with it at home. Seems that there are 2 ways now you can use BA.
There is the Drawing Extraction manager with the Group Models or the new Dynamic views.
It seems the new Dynamic Views way basically follows what we used to do with the old 2d production documentation that most people used to use.
ie. You have your Working files with plans elevs sections(model files). and you also have your Drawing files(sheet files). You ref your model files into Sheet files/models to make up your documentation drawings.
Now imagine with Dynamic views your now have your 3d model files and then you have your Sheet Views/Drawing files.
From what I can see you basically set up your Sheet model file (eg the file your going to print your drawing from) the same way you would set up your old Group model files using the DEM way.
So for your Elevations drawing sheet file you ref your model files into the Default model and then set up a veiw and create a sheet model with the border/annotations etc. ref in the View into your sheet and away you go.
I think we are moving away from the idea of using a central place (ie. the Drawing Extraxtion manager) into a Model/Sheet area demarcations/zones much like we used to do in the old 2d drawing methods.
