Hello!
Does anyone know a way to shift a cross section named boundary in the drawing model? In this example, I simply want to shift my named boundary down in order to center my section better without having to recut a new named boundary. This is in CONNECT 2021 R1.
Thank you.
I believe it comes down to "Saved Views". When a Named Boundary is created, a corresponding Saved View taken around the exact limits of the Boundary. I believe the Saved View of the 3D Design Model is what is actually referenced into the Drawing Model. The issue is, when the Named Boundary is moved, the corresponding Saved View does NOT automatically adjust - which is why you had to manually move the Reference in the Drawing Model.
This whole system is unnecessarily complicated - and as you said: not very smart. Whether its an oversight by the developers at Bentley, Named Boundaries provide very little flexibility if adjustment is necessary. (Sorry for the frustration displayed here - its something I've been dealing with for years and have seen so much efficiency/productivity lost because of this overcomplicated/broken system)
Ok, so I manually moved my cross section reference in the drawing model up to match the named boundary and all of my elevations are correct. I would still love to hear any ideas so that we didn't have to move manually. I would expect the named boundaries to be smarter than that.
so this moved my named boundary. And it moved in the drawing model. however, when I remove annotations and reannotate, the grid and annotation still comes in at the original location, meaning it is showing inaccurate elevations along the side. How do we get the drawing models and therefore the already sheeted models to update according to named boundary? Thank you!
Thank you, Mark. I will try this.
So after testing, you can go into the 3D Design Model and literally move it. To ensure the Boundary only moves up and down, use the nearest snap and grab the side edge when moving it. I think with AccuDraw, you may be able to type in a Z value to ensure the Boundary moves at a nice round number (i.e., 5).
