Elevations

Elevations

(OP)
How do I make a drawing elevation of a room?

Of course SWX Drawings wants to do exterior elevations of the walls.  I want interior elevations, which I can do with section views.

1. Is there a way just to get an elevation without having to create a section?

2. If I must use the section method, how do I rename the view?  I do not want my view callouts to say "Section - A", I need them to say "North Elevation".

Thanks!

RE: Elevations

Create the section views in the part, save them as drawing annotation views and name them whatever you want.

-or-

Create each elevation as a separate body in a multi-body part or a separate part in an assy, then show each elevation in a configuration.

... or model the room inside out   tongue

I created a annotation view, how do I insert it in to the assembly drawing?

RE: Elevations

goodtruant,

   Model each wall as a separate part or assembly.  Hide the part or assembly on your drawing view.

I figured it out....had to insert the elevation view first, and then hide it.

RE: Elevations

(OP)
I still do not understand how the views are named.  When I pull in the annotative views, it uses the standard format.  "View A-A".

So if I named the view "Cabinet Section", the view label changes to "View Cabinet-Cabinet".

RE: Elevations

There are two ways in the drawing without any other preparation:

In a drawing of an assembly you can create a hiding plane that will hide everything in front of it. Removed section will work nicely for this. It can all be done in the drawing.

In a drawing you can tell a view not to display certain components. Hide the components in the foreground revealing the inside elevation.
