Group plot array - section view

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.

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
