Removing a Live Section View
Use this procedure to turn off a live section view. You can also remove the live section view by deleting the section
line that was used to create it.
1 Select the section line that was used to create the live section view.
2 Right-click, and click Disable Live Section.
After turning off the live section view, you see the regular 3D building model again. You can turn live
section view on and off as long as the section line remains in the drawing.
Editing a 2D or 3D Section
After you create a 2D or 3D section, you can edit the section line and the section object to refine the appearance of the
section in any of the following ways:
■
Add, remove, or modify graphic subdivisions.
■
Reverse the section to display a different area of the building.
■
Relocate the section.
■
Add notes or reference files.
■
Select a different style. A section style determines how the linework in a 2D section is displayed.
■
Change the display properties of selected linework.
■
Add linework and details that are not part of the building model.
In addition, you can continue to modify the building model and then update the section to incorporate the changes.
You can also create and edit material boundaries for 2D sections. For more information, see “ Creating a Material
Boundary in a 2D Section ” on page 1786.
For information about switching from a view other than a section to a temporary section view to edit objects, see
“
Isolating Objects to Edit in a Section View ” on page 73.
Using Grips to Edit Linework in a 2D Section
Use this procedure to edit linework in a 2D section. You can assign selected linework to fixed display components that
determine the display of every section that you generate, or you can assign linework to display components that you
have defined.
For information about adding custom display components, see “ Adding a Display Component to a 2D Section Style ”
on page 1796. After you assign linework to display components, you can change the display properties (visibility, color,
layer, lineweight, linetype, and linetype scale) to change the display of lines.
1 Select the section to be changed.
2 Select the Edit Linework grip.
