Cut plane for multiple levels

[kiana.mousaviMZWPJ]

Hello,

I am trying to set up a template that can be used for multiple projects regardless of the size.

One thing I need to do is do define a cut plane of 1500mm for all levels. I know this can be done manually for each level separately. However, I am wondering if it is possible to define the value as a default value that would be applied to all the levels? Is that possible?

You can do that by using view templates:

1. Either set it up in a view template for floor plans...ex:
   • Set the cut plane of the view range of 1 view
   • Go to view Tab >> create View Template from view
   • Apply the template to all plan views (See GIF below) 
2. OR add to an existing view template which is already applied to views
   • From the Properties palette of a view >> scroll down to view template >> edit it and change view range

If you want all new floor plans to follow the same view range, you can set up the a view type that uses the above template by default:

Or Manually in the browser, select all floor plan views using ctrl key then on the properties palette edit video range and I put 1500....that will apply to all floor plan views selected

You can set it up in the view templates.

Definitely save it in any pertinent View Template(s) and make sure those are saved into your Project Template(s). That is not a task you are going to want to be doing whenever you create a new level/floor plan for a project.
