Creating Model Views of the Entire Plot

To create model views from all valid geometry in the plot layer:

1. From a plot layer that contains valid Vectorworks Spotlight objects (hanging positions, trusses, lighting instruments, and non-architectural 2D or 3D geometry or hybrid symbols), ensure that no items are selected.

2. Select Spotlight > Visualization > Create Plot and Model View.

The Create Plot and Model View dialog box opens.

►    Cliquez pour afficher/masquer les paramètres.

Paramètre	Description
Name	Specifies a name for the definition layer; “Definition Layer” is the default name. Additional layers are based on the name set here, with an automatically incremented and appended number (Definition Layer-1, Definition Layer-2, and so on).
Model Layer	Specifies where the model layer will be created; select a layer name from the list, or create a new layer. If New Model Layer is selected, you will be prompted to create a design layer after clicking OK.
Separate	Creates a new definition layer for each valid hanging position and remaining non-architectural geometry, allowing each design layer viewport to rotate independently in the model view; deselect to create a single definition layer with all valid objects in a single design layer viewport
Vertical	Automatically sets all non-architectural geometry to a vertical orientation in the model layer

3. Click OK.

A design layer viewport is created for each hanging position instance and non-architectural geometry, replacing the original objects on the plot layer.

●    If Separate is deselected, a single definition layer contains all Vectorworks Spotlight geometry.

●    If Separate is selected, a definition layer exists for each instance of the Vectorworks Spotlight geometry.

Finally, a model layer contains design layer viewports for rotation and proper positioning.

4. In the model layer, use the Rotate tool to orient the design layer viewports. See Outil Rotation.
