Drawing a Section View Using the Handset Designer Ribbon

Prev Next

The Handset Designer ribbon makes it easy to draw a Section View, with three mouse clicks. 

To draw a Section View using the Handset Designer ribbon:

  1. Click the Wall with Formwork to select it.
    Note: Your selection must include only a single Wall, Curved Wall or Tank. A Section cannot be drawn for multiple Walls.
  2. Click the Handset Designer tab and click Section View in the Formwork group.

Handset Designer draws the Section. Once drawn, Handset Designer inserts a new page that contains the view, draws a view marker on the Wall and labels the marker with the name of the new page.

There are two ways to access this new page:

  • Click the corresponding Page tab in the bottom of the window.
  • Right-click the Section View marker and select Page-# from the menu that appears.
 

The page opens, displaying the Section View.

Note: You should not draw Formwork on Section pages, as Handset Designer automatically deletes them from time to time when changing Formwork.
