Create dependent views

00:03

We're looking at the floor two dimensions plan

00:06

and we need to place this onto a drawing sheet

00:09

in the project browser. We have a sheet created here.

00:13

So we'll open this view up

00:18

and now to place the view on the sheet,

00:20

I'll select it in the project browser and then hold in the mouse button down.

00:24

We'll drag it into the view.

00:26

And then when we let go,

00:27

we can then click to place it in the center of the sheet

00:32

and that we can see that that's been placed.

00:34

However, it's too big for this drawing sheet.

00:37

And as we don't want to change the scale of the view,

00:40

we will have to tile it across two individual sheets.

00:44

And to do this, we'll use dependent views.

00:48

So I swap back to the floor two dimensions plan here.

00:51

And now to create the dependent view, we'll go to the view ribbon tab

00:55

and from the create panel, we'll click the duplicate view drop down

00:59

and then choose duplicate as dependent.

01:04

And now we can see that we have a copy of that view

01:07

and looking at the project browser,

01:09

we can see it shown as a sub view of the floor two dimensions view.

01:14

So first let's right, click and rename the view

01:17

and we'll rename this to be floor two dimensions, tile one.

01:24

And now as a dependent view,

01:27

any changes that we make to either of the views will be reflected on the other.

01:31

So to demonstrate this,

01:33

I'll go down to the view control bar at the bottom here

01:37

and we have to toggle for the shadows. So we'll click to toggle those shadows on.

01:41

Now, in the view, we can see that those shadows have been applied.

01:45

I'll swap to the floor two dimensions view now

01:48

and we can see that they also have the shadows applied.

01:51

So we'll go back to the view control bar and we'll tug all the shadows off

01:55

and then swapping back to the tier one view.

01:59

We can see that the shadows have also been toggled off in there too.

02:02

And this shows that any changes we make will affect the other view as well.

02:08

So we need to crop this view so that it only shows half of the plan

02:12

and it will therefore fit on the sheet.

02:15

So to do this, we'll select the crop region

02:18

and then we can use the drag controls here

02:20

and we'll drag this in from the right hand side

02:22

to show just about half of the view here.

02:25

And now that we've got that cropped,

02:27

it should fit onto that sheep.

02:30

I'll go back to the dimensions sheet view

02:34

and we can see the original floor two dimensions view is on the sheet

02:37

and looking at the project browser,

02:39

we can see the sheet indicator icon here is blue against that view.

02:44

So we can swap the views on the sheet.

02:46

So if I select the view

02:48

and then looking at the modified view ports ribbon here,

02:50

we have the position in the view panel

02:53

and we can see that from the drop down, We could choose a different view here.

02:56

So let's pick the tile one view

02:59

and that view will replace the original view

03:01

and looking at the project browser.

03:03

The sheet indicator icon is now blue next to the dependent view.

03:09

Now let's rename this sheet view.

03:11

So in the project browser, we'll right click over it

03:14

and choose rename.

03:16

And then we can name this to be floor two dimensions, tile one.

03:23

So now that we have that sheet created with its first tiled view,

03:27

we need to create a new sheet and also a second dependent view.

03:31

So to do this, we'll right click over the sheet view

03:36

and then we'll choose duplicate sheet

03:38

and then duplicate with views.

03:41

And now

03:41

we need to choose how we want the view duplicated.

03:44

So we'll choose duplicate as dependent.

03:50

And now we can see we have a new sheet created.

03:52

So looking in the project browser here, we can see we have that copied sheet

03:56

and it also has a view placed upon that sheet.

03:59

So right click and rename it to be

04:03

floor two dimensions tile two.

04:08

Now looking up at the project browser,

04:10

we can see that we have the second dependent view created.

04:14

So let's open this view up

04:17

and then we'll right click and rename

04:20

and we'll rename this as floor two dimensions tile two.

04:28

Now, looking at the view,

04:29

we need to adjust the crop region to show the other half of the building.

04:32

So

04:33

I'll select it

04:34

and then using the right hand drag control here, we can drag this down

04:38

to the end of the building

04:41

and then we can bring the left hand side in.

04:43

So it only shows the other half of the building.

04:50

And now we've got that view created

04:53

to show how the annotation works.

04:55

We can see that we have the dimensions here across the offices.

04:59

And if I swap to the tier one view,

05:01

we can see the same dimensions in this view.

05:05

And if I open the floor two dimensions view,

05:08

we can see that that is one long string going across all of those offices.

05:13

So I'll select it here and then we'll just drag it down to a new position.

05:19

And now

05:20

if I swap to the tile one view,

05:22

we can see those dimensions are still selected and they're in the new position

05:26

and I'll open the till two view

05:28

and again, they're still selected and in their new position,

05:32

that just goes to show that we can

05:34

therefore make changes on any of these dependent views

05:38

and those changes will be reflected in all of the other views.

05:44

Now, I'll go back to the floor two dimensions, tile two sheet view.

05:50

We can see that because we've adjusted the crop region,

05:54

but it now is slightly off center on that drawing sheet.

05:57

So I'll select the view

05:59

and from the modify viewport ribbon here,

06:01

we'll click the delete button to delete it from the sheet.

06:06

Looking at the project browser, we can see it's still there.

06:08

Although the sheet indicator icon is white now.

06:11

So we'll select it

06:13

and just drag it out into the view.

06:16

And then we can click to place that in the center of the sheet

06:20

and we now have that second child view placed

06:22

in the correct location on our drawing sheet.

06:26

So zooming in

06:27

it would be good to place a reference to indicate the sheet number of the other tile.

06:33

So I'll go back to the floor two dimensions view here

06:40

and from the properties palette,

06:42

we'll select the crop region visible option here.

06:46

And without looking in the view,

06:47

we can see the crop region of the dependent views as well as this view.

06:52

And we can see in the middle here where those two views overlap.

06:56

So we'll place a match line between these two

06:59

and to do this, we'll go to the view ribbon tab

07:02

and from the sheet composition panel here, we'll click the match line tool

07:07

So now we just need to sketch a line down between those two crop regions

07:11

here and then we can click finish edit mode to create that match line.

07:16

And we can see now that that places that heavy

07:18

dash line as the match line between the views.

07:22

So now we want to place a reference so that we can see the sheet number of the other tile

07:28

and to do this, we'll go to the view ribbon tab from the sheet composition panel here.

07:32

We'll click view reference.

07:35

And now looking at the view reference ribbon tab here, we can choose the target view.

07:39

So we'll pick the tile one view

07:42

and then we'll place this reference on the left hand side of the match line

07:47

and then we'll click modify to finish this

07:50

and then we'll go back and click on the view reference tool once more.

07:54

And then this time we'll pick the tile two view for the target view

07:59

and then we can click to place this on the right hand side of the reference line.

08:05

So now that we have those placed,

08:07

we'll go back to the tile one dimensions sheet view here

08:12

zooming in. We can now see we have a reference to the second other child view here.

08:18

And if I swap to that sheet view

08:21

again, we can see we have the reference to the first child view.

08:25

So I haven't got those match lines and view references placed

08:28

that completes creating the child views.
