Group plot array - section view

joaolucaswehmuth — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 20:38:12 GMT

Does anyone knows how can I set the array to display the same number in each column before it goes to another one?

For exemple, I have one alignment with 17 sections views, which display 5 rows in one column, and another with 7 sections, but instead of display 5 rows, it does 3 rows.

I dont want to move them manually.

If you utilized the Draft Plot method rather than the Sheet Plot method, I believe the outcome you are getting is correct. It plots (inserts) them in a method that fills a "square" area as much as possible.

You are correct, you do not want to move them manually. I mean, you can, but once some grabs a Section View and clicks the Update Group Layout option, the moved Section Views will revert back to where they originally were at.

But how can I change the size of this square?

I am not sure it can be, not that I am aware of anyways. It plots them as evenly as possible with the same number of rows and columns.

Hi @joaolucaswehmuth ,

Thanks for posting. Based on your screenshot (thank you), can you share:

What are the dimensions of your sections? Both width and height are important, as well as the scale you're working with, the size of the sheet matters as well.
Can you share the drawing?

All these factors contribute to determining the number of sections per page.

If you haven't already reviewed the thread addressing the same issue, I recommend taking a look. Within that forum, there's a discussion on the settings for the row and column and why they aren't functioning as expected
