Sections views array

Anonymous

I created 16 sections for corridor which appear as an array of 4x5 section views. How can I change the Array to any other format as 2 x 10? I can not find that option!

If I understand your question, the only way I am aware to control the layout of the section views is to adjust the various properties in the Group Plot Style, I think you would need to adjust the space between section views to the point where it only allows 2 sections, or increase the width of the sections so that it only allows a particular number of sections.

Hi, As you see in the pic it looks like if one could change number of rows and columns, but how ever I do the Array stays the same as 4x4!

It does not matter if I put greater space, the number of array does not change!

how wide are your sections, how tall are they, what is the scale?  how big is the sheet?  these all play into the number of sections per page, as it tries to fit as many as possible into a single sheet, that meet the parameters specified in the various settings.

After changing the group plot style you have to right click a section view and pick 'update section view layout' to see the changes.

I did not see a solution to this problem, but I have the same issue. No matter what I change in the setting the array is stuck on 6 layouts per row. I need to change to 4 section views per row. I have made edits to the group plot and explored all section view options in the toolspace drawing settings tab. I can't seem to find how to control how many shows in a row. I have even adjusted the sheet size and still, this is an issue.
