Hello,
Could some one please help me with this! I have section views @ 50 feet along my corridor and i want to show them on a sheet. When i create a viewport, those section views are not display in Layout Tab?? why?
Thanks,
Dennis
On Output tab of Ribbon, have you ran "Create Section Sheets" command yet? This will create the Section sheets layout tabs.
If your trying to manually show them in a viewport, verify the Viewport type is "Section" by selecting VP and opening Properties Palette>Viewport type.
Thank you Jay,
i am trying manually show them in a viewport. After creating a viewport, i selected that VP, choose Properties, and change Viewport type from Undefined to Section. But the sections are still not shown. Is there anything else i have to do in order to show them a VP?
Thanks,
Dennis

Troma,
I do not think this is a stupid question? If you have been working with Civil 3D then you will understand my question. It is not an AutoCAD object, they are Civil 3d objects, so it doesn't have anything to do with VPfrozen or zoom in and out in the Mspace.
I just don't want to create serveral sheets for my section views, just wanted to manually place a few section views into the same sheet with profile.
Have anyone ever manually created a viewport for section views?
Hi Dennis,
I created a new layout in a dwg containing section views, created a viewport, zoomed in on a section view, set the VP scale
and it works here.
Are you using the same Civl 3D drawing template when trying to create the viewport you wish to display the section view in?
If not give that a try.
Thanks much Jay!
It works now with separate layout!. Before, i created a VP that is the same sheet shown the plan, and it doesn't work. It's work now!
Thanks again,
Dennis

I don't understand this assertion. You can easily vpfreeze a C3D object, or zoom somewhere so that you can't see it. I don't understand why you say these commands are irrelevant. I have often (purposely and mistakenly) vpfrozen C3D objects, and any object will obviously not show up in a viewport if the viewport is showing the wrong part of modelspace.

Have anyone ever manually created a viewport for section views? Yes. That's how I always do it.
