    I think it was called Sheet Manager in Land Desktop, the command that created the plan & profile sheets with your template.

    I think it's called "Plan Production Tools" now...
    Ya it was called Sheet Manager in LDT. That was taken out and now C3D uses a combination of "Plan Production Tools" and the "Sheet Set Manager" to do the same thing.

    Yep.... that's my question.
    I can get Sheet Set Manager to work with "No Problem"....
    But I will take "Sinc's" advice and check out his link for help on "Plan Production Tools".

    Harold, Why not create the band with your profile view?

    I do create a band with my profile, but my entire profile doen't fit within my viewport.
    So I need to create a 2nd viewport that shows the proposed and existing elevations...
    my existing & future ground shows up in the main viewport on my P&P sheets.

    I'm learning that, it works better to create everything manually, no one has answers.
    I cut one sheet, get it the way I want it to look, make a copy and pan my views in the 2nd sheet.... I guess that's called plan production tools, in a round-about way.

    I would like to edit the text in my band view. That's my latest task.... I would like to show "existing elevations" on the left side and "proposed elevations" on the right side and have that text "italicized" in a different font.... can't figure out how to do it.
    I've tried "Toolspace/Settings/ProfileView/BandStyles/BandSets/ and editing the band style.... but it seems you can't separate 2 different styles for that band (as shown in the pic I posted in a previous post)... any help?

    If it doesn't fit, then you need to resize your viewport in your plan production template. All plan production does is look for your alignment that you designate, create your plan view frames. Then, if you want your profiles in there, you tell it where to start and it'll run with what you tell it to use (your .dwt file that you chose to create your viewframes and the scale if you have multiple scales set up in the one template).
    The bands got me for a while, I kept looking in the band styles also, but kept falling short of having the two elevations (EG and FG). Then I came up with the idea of making 2 band types to handle the job. Worked out great, you just have to remember to set your profiles to the band types. At first, I got it mixed up, my EG would be on the right, FG on the left, but I eventually figured out which was which

    Thanks for the reply.... If I have 50 vertical feet in my profile view at 1:5' and my plans are 1:20, there is no way I am going to have enough room to fit the entire profile into my viewport. We have always had a "seperate" viewport for existing and future elevations, that ran across the top of outr plans. It's funny that we could do this procedure in Land Desktop, but I struggle finding a solution in the bigger and better C3D...
    I am currently creating new band types and editing my band requirements.
