Views like in Revit

[BardurE]

Civil should have the option to "hide in view".. It would be much easier to produce sheets.

Can you explain. It sounds interesting but I've never used Revit or seen it, so I don't really know what you mean.

Revit has the ability to setup views.. A typical construction project would contain a foundation plan, and a beam column plan ans so on.. The smart thin is that it is all in the same file or project.

Lets say that you want to present a project off a road and a parking area (very simple example).. I would need to produce, lets fokus on plan production

• Excavation, showing datum and earth works
• Fill plan showing types of material
• Finshed surface, showing asphalt slope, maby hatch for grass and so on

The current civil workflow would require that I setup 3 different .dwg files - making things very complicated.

It would be much easier, and save me alot off headeach, If I was able to hide objects (like surfaces, corridors, lines etc.) in the current view, making 3 views in the same .dwg file where in got the option to show what ever I want to present.

This sort of thing is typically controlled with layers in C3D. Each object on a layer, each layer can be vpfrozen for any specific viewport.

Thank you, Maby using layer groups is the way forward, since i need to work in model space..

However It would be nice, to be able to change to C3D suface-, alignment-, corridor-styles for each view - also in model space

Not sure if it will solve your problem or not, but you can run the layer manager in model space too!

(Command is LAYERSTATE)
