Dependent views - lining them up

[Anonymous]

Greetings,
I have a large floor plan which is being broken up as dependent views into 6 areas.
Two questions, I'm trying to find out the easiest and quickest way to:
1. "line up" adjacent views so that "common" walls (exterior walls) and crop region lines line up from view to view?
2. match dependent view areas (stack up) between floor and ceiling plans?

thanks,
jg

jg,

We have found that using scope boxes is the way easiest way to go about dividing/copping a building that uses dependent views. Create all of your scope boxes and then apply each one to a view through "View Properties". This ensures that all of your floor and RCP areas use the same crop.

thanks Josh,
Not having had any experience with scope boxes where do I create them, on the overall plan or the dependent views? Do I still need to create dependent views?

Sorry I am so late in responding. Never saw this question. We typically lay out scope boxes using a combination of a 3d view and foor plan view. Scope boxes are a special 3D modeled area crop that is available model wide in every model view. You do need to turn them on if they are off using visibility graphics. You can create one in a floor plan, then turn them on in a 3D view and make sure the scope box is stretching to capture the height you want. I typically create one, set the depth boundary, then copy it around to other areas and re-stretch. Then I name my scope boxes according to view area (e.g. Area A, Area B etc) Then you can just duplicate views as dependants for as many areas as you have and apply the scope boxes to those areas. Do this for every floor.

Sometimes we use different scope boxes for different floors if we have a different match line per floor (Although we try not to do this). Clear as mud, eh?
