Adding additional Breakline boundaries to a Wall/ Buildig Section

payingtoomuch — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 01:28:08 GMT

Is there a way to add additional break boundaries to Wall and building sections.

What I'm trying to get at is this.

I know that for a building section I can select the crop boundary and the break symbol and separate the building section into parts to make things fit on a page for example.

But lets say I want to have 4 (or more) break sections (to show various walls in the building section), is there a way to add additional crop boundaries to the one building or wall section?

Makes no difference the Model View Type. Every Model View can be Cropped.

Well that's great to know. But how do I do it lol. Guess I need to search cropping the views for a little more info on how to do it now that I know how to do it....

Teach a man to fish lol....

But can I do it in a section view as well? Meaning not just on a sheet?

A Crop Boundary is a View thing - not a Sheet thing.

I get that part. And can get to where I can manipulate the break line areas showing up in your example. What I can't figure out (yet) is how to add additional break areas to the 3 vertical break areas allowed.....

The light bulb comes on! After you break out the first crop you get additional breaks on the new cropped areas!

Thanks for the nudge. This is huge!

Does that mean I get to give both you and myself an acceptance of the solution.

Sure, why not!
