anyone know the best way to create curtainwall views to detail and dimension from the model without creating multitudes of elevation tags?


Thank you,
Howard

I have two ideas

1. Make an elevation for each compass direction of the building and then dependent views for each Curtain Wall ( if the building has a simple geometry )
2. Make a separate Elevation Callout Type which you filter out of the Views in which you want it hidden. We do this with our Sections, they have a parameter 'Show Callout' into which we write the types of views where it should be visible. For example it might have the value 'Site plan, Main floor plan' and we have a filter on our View Template for Main floors plans which filters out any Sections in which 'Show callout' does not contain 'Main floor plan'. (Of course we also have 'working views' where everything is visible.)

Hope there's something there you can use.
