Creating Overviews

Introductory Training Video: Overviews

Classroom Design Project Training Video: Using the Vector and Render Overview Cameras

Select 3D> Create Vector View> Vector Floor Overview , Vector Full Overview , or Vector Framing Overview to automatically generate an overview in a new window.

Overviews generate as soon as you select the tool and are always created at the same angle. Once generated, the view angle can be adjusted. See "Displaying Vector Overviews".

Full Overview

Select 3D> Create Vector View> Vector Full Overview to generate an isometric drawing of the entire building. The overview begins to generate immediately.

Floor Overview

Select 3D> Create Vector View> Vector Floor Overview to create an isometric drawing of the current floor with the ceiling removed.

Vector Floor Overview is an effective trouble-shooting tool, since it can isolate each floor for review.

To see a different floor, return to floor plan view and make the other floor current before generating the floor overview.

Framing Overview

Select 3D> Create Vector View> Vector Framing Overview to create an isometric drawing of the entire building, displaying only framing and foundation. Framing must be built before generating this view or the view is empty.
