Applying a Section to Items Retroactively After Drawing With Design Line

ZTR88 — Wed, 22 May 2019 19:13:52 GMT

I've drawn a large system with design line without a section and now want to apply a section for example "Level 01" to this system and it's hangers. I can't figure out how to do this without doing it one fitting at a time.

In addition to this I would want the hangers to extend up to the preset soffit elevation that I input into the section "Level 01".

Is this something that will happen once the items are drawn in the appropriate section?

Hi @ZTR88, There is such a possibility. Go to File > Edit in the Design Line window and select the lines you are interested in. Then right-click and select Item Information. In the Section line row, select the level that suits you. I think the Screencast I recorded might be helpful.

Awesome. I couldn't get the hangers to adjust to the right elevation by editing the options of the objects after filling in 3d or changing the section when the design line was active.

Didn't realize there was an option to do this with selected design lines in the edit window that would adjust the hangers. Thanks!

I am glad I could help you. Some components of the product, although their simple, can be hidden in an unconventional way.
