Elevations (how do you split?)

[jarod.tulanowski]

Is there anyway to split the view of the elevations similar to the split sections feature. The problem I am running into is when I do a long elevation through a dining room, I sometimes cut through the furniture. This looks pretty bad in the view. any recommendations

You could turn off visibility of furniture in Visibility/ Graphics.

you could make two separate elevations and put them on the sheet side by side so it lookes like one elevation

I was afraid of that. sounds like a bunch of workarounds. Thanks for the feedback though. If anyone has a better way (besides creating sections for elevations)let me know

Yes, you can split elevation views but you should make sure that your views have cropping enabled. Once Crop Region checkbox in view properties is set elevation view will allow splitting. The difference: section views have crop region on by default, elevations don't. No workaround is necessary.

Hmm that sounds like the answer, but how is that accomplished. it looks like I am doing this already, but I still dont know how to split. see attached example.

Thanks in advance for all the help

1. Enable cropping
2. Open view that you want to split (elevation)
3. Select cropping boundary; boundary break controls will appear.
4. Click on one of them, view is broken.

Ahh I think we are talking about two different things. see the attached where I need to see the cropping. I dont need to remove some information as the elevation croping does. I just need to see my view along a staggared view path. see the new attached for path route

Ahh I think we are talking about two different things. Indeed we are. Unfortunately 7.0 does not support stepped elevations like it does for stepped sections and detailed views.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Thanks for the help, looks like a wishlist item

Its nice to have that feature but there are plenty of work arounds for that matter and it doesnt hurt. .
