Does anyone know if there is a way to copy a 3d view for one file to another file.

since a 3D view is just a display of the model, you wont be able to copy "just the view" without copying the whole model.


You can however...place a 3D view on a sheet, and export the sheet to DWG. This will create a "flat" 2D DWG of the 3D view. Then you can link/import that DWG into another project to just get the 3D "representation".

Thanks for the reply, looks like I might be stuck. What I really would like to do is the architect has created 3d views for each floor which have been cropped to certain height above and below each level. I would like to mimic these in our structural file without having to set each one up again, but that looks like it might be the only option. Sure would be nice to be able to copy the veiw settings from one file to another especially if it the same building.
