Create and Edit a Dynaview Boundary Set

Use the Create Dynaview Boundary Set command to create a grid of rectangular dynaview boundaries in the Plan View. You can then use the collection of boundaries to build plottable sheets of your site.

Prerequisites:

Licensed module; See the Subscription Plans page. For a license matrix by command, see the License page in the TBC Community. Also see View and manage licensed features.

To access the commands:

Select Create Dynaview Boundary Set in Drafting > Sheet Layout > Create Dynaview.
In the Project Explorer, right-click a dynaview in the Dynaview Boundary Sets and select Add New Boundary.

To create a dynaview boundary set:

In the Create Dynaview Boundary Set pane, Name the collection based on what part of your model it will cover in the Plan View.
Specify the Width and Height of the dynaviews you want to create and plot; these dimensions will be used in the Sheet View.
Enter the Scale at which you want each dynaview to plot. The smaller the scale, the smaller the boundaries will be, and the larger the model will plot on your sheets.
Enter the number of Columns and Rows you want in your gridded array of dynaview boundaries.
If you want the boundaries to overlap, specify X overlap and Y overlap distances.
Select a Layer from the dropdown list, or select <<New Layer>> to create a new layer.
Pick a point in the Plan View to set the First Sheet Origin (lower left corner) of the first boundary in the grid. Subsequent columns and rows will be created to the right and below the first boundary, respectively.
If needed, specify a Rotation angle so the grid of dynaview boundaries matches the layout of your model. Positive rotation is clockwise and zero is due north.
Click Apply to create the boundaries and corresponding dynaviews.
Click Close to close the pane.
- Once created, the dynaview boundary set contains editable boundary objects. The boundaries themselves will not appear in the dynaviews.
- To move the boundary, right-click and select Move Object. The Sheet view updates automatically.
- To change the shape of the dynaview boundary, in the graphics view click one of the corner squares, then drag it to a new position. The Sheet view updates automatically.

To edit a boundary set:

Work through steps 2 - 9 above.
You can also right click a dynaview boundary set and select Edit Dynaview Boundary Set explode the grid into editable objects.
To delete a single dynaview from a dynaview boundary set, select it, right-click and select Delete.
To remove the entire collection of dynaview boundary sets, select it, right-click in the Project Explorer and select Delete Dynaview Boundary Set.
