Hello,
I have recently learned to create an auxiliary coordinate system by using points in my 3D model. This has been very useful as the object I am focusing on is not level, but I want to have a view I can work in aligned with the object. Having created my an ACS aligned with the top of the object I can now use top view front view etc. to work in the correct plane. Now I would like to print an image using a sheet that includes a reference to model the object is in. I was hoping that the reference would apply the ACS I created as the top view, however this doesn't seem to be the case. No matter what orientation I use in the reference attachment settings the reference is not showing my ACS top view, but the world top view. I have even tried to import the ACS into the sheet model, but that doesn't do anything either.
Is there a way to se t the view of the reference in the sheet model so that it is the same as the actual 3D model it is referencing? (just for reference I am using Bentley Map Enterprise V8i Select Series 4)
Thanks
Hi Brandy,
you should be able to use and attach any view orientation as long as you create a Saved View of that orientation in your 3D model first.
Upon attaching your 3D file as a reference, you can pick the name with the orientation of your choice from the list of Saved Views:
The presentation (hidden line, rendered etc.) in the sheet can be controlled via the options below the Presentation column in the reference dialog:
