Each model view shows a different aspect of the same Virtual Building.
•In 3D perspective, you see the Virtual Building as it will look when actually constructed.
•In Floor Plan, the Virtual Building is shown as a two-dimensional blueprint.
•In the Section/Elevation/Interior Elevation (IE) windows, elements are generated from the 3D model; you cannot create new model elements of most types here, but you can view and modify them. You can, however, create new Morphs and Curtain Walls in these windows.
•The 3D Document is generated from either the 3D window or the Floor Plan, but is a 2D-type document that allows for annotations and dimensions, and can display the sections of composite elements in their 3D aspect.
•In the model window known as the Interactive Schedule, the Virtual Building is expressed in lists and figures - here, too, your input will modify the Virtual Building and can be output as documentation.
When you work on each of these aspects of the model, you are working on a “viewpoint.” You can navigate among them, and save them as views.
For more information, see Navigator Palette.
The available commands and functions vary depending on the window that is active.
