How to add a Step in an existing Building View?

Christian,

I don't have time to include screen captures right now, but hopefully I can explain in a way that they are not needed.

1. In the 3D model where you created the saved view to update, create a new clip volume that has the step that you want (like you showed in your second image).
2. Apply the Saved View that you want to update to the view that has the clip volume that you want to use, except turn off the option to apply the Clip Volume from the Saved View when you apply the view.  This will apply all of the settings from the Saved View, except the Clip Volume.
   1. From the Saved View dialog, double-click on the name of the view that you want to apply, the Apply Saved View dialog will open.  Turn Off the option for Clip Volume, the rest of the options should be on.
3. Your active view should now be setup the way that you want your Saved View to be displayed.  Update the Saved View from the Active View
   1. From the Saved View dialog, select the view that you want to update, then select the Update Saved View Settings icon (at the top of the dialog with the blue diskette, next to Create Saved View) and then left-click in the view to update from.  Note that if you rotated your view that you are updating from to verify that the step is there make sure that you have the "Update Camera Position" option turned OFF before left-clicking in the view.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if something is unclear.

Travis,

Thank's for your help. I tried it and it worked.

But it's a little bit cumbersome.

So my wish would be to add the step at the same way as it is possible on a Clip Volume,

Right-click->Create Step.

By the way, what is the key-in for Create Step?

Christian

I agree. Typically to modify the clip, you would only need to toggle ON the 'Show' column of the saved view to present the saved view boundary.  Ideally, you would be able to use 'Create Step' on that boundary. I would file a service ticket to generate a Change Request to be able do that. Users filing Change Requests hold more importance than me filing it as a Bentley colleague.

Create Step Keyin = sectionclip createstep

I have filed an SR for it.

Hi Chris,

I've taken your SR and will link it to Enhancement 86193 for adding a Step after the Callout has been placed.
