Steel Plate in elevation view

Aaron485 — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 18:21:52 GMT

I am trying to draw a bracing plate, but when I click on the Plate tool it wants me to open a view, but all the views listed are plan views, I need to draw the plate in an elevation/section view.

How can I?

Hi @Aaron485

Try to model the plate in a "3D Elevation". See the Screencast for an example. I am not aware of a better way to do it.

Steel plates, bolts, anchors, shear studs, holes cannot be created in elevation views and sections . They can be created in plan and 3D views.

I was able to model in an Section through this method.

Go to a plan view (maybe 3d too), start the plate command, then go to section/elevation view, with the plate command still active, set work plane to the grid I was on, then I was able to model the plate in the view I needed.

The easy way:

1- draw the plate on the plan

2- create an elevation view of the plate

3- rotate the plate

now you have a vertical plate.
