Sending Perspective Views to Layout

Perspective views add visual appeal and clarity to your documentation. They are converted to bitmap images when sent to layout, which means that they increase your file size considerably. As a result, you should send perspective views to layout sparingly.

Return to floor plan view.

Select 3D> Create Render View> Render Full Camera

and create a 3D view.

In the camera view, use the Move, Orbit and Tilt Camera tools available in the 3D menu to adjust the view to your liking. See "Moving a Camera in 3D Views".

Click the Restore button at the top right corner of the view window, between the Minimize and Close buttons, then adjust the shape of the window so that it includes the information that you want and has a height to width ratio similar to the space you want it to fill on the layout page.

Select 3D> Render View Options> Final View

to redraw the view at a higher quality according to your settings in the Preferences dialog. See "Render Views".

Select File> Send to Layout

to open the Send to Layout dialog. When perspective views are sent to layout our options are limited because they cannot be scaled. This is why we do not need to access the Page Setup dialog before sending the view to layout.

Send to Layout Page # 1 and leave Show Layout Page checked.

Select and resize the image as needed.
