multiple views of a family object

[andrewmc]

Is it possible to combine multiple views of a family object (in my case a curtain wall panel) on one sheet to print? If not can anyone suggest a good way of displaying plan, section and a 3D view of one family object on one sheet either inside the family editor or in project view. Thanks!

You just need to create your different views (plan, section, elevation, 3D, etc) and place them on a sheet. If you're using worksets, you can place a family instance on a unique workset so you can turn everything else off and leave this workset visible in the views that display this family. You can also use filters to "grab" everything else in the model and uncheck the visibility of the filter, thus leaving this family only visible in those views you want. Depending on the type of family, you might just use a legend to display various representations of this family (not curtain panels).

Thanks David. I'll give that a try...
