Open a Panel Drawing

Framer

Open a wall, floor or roof panel drawing or a truss drawing to a separate drawing window.

  1. Select a panel or a truss.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Select Panel | Open Drawing.
    • Select Truss | Panel | Open Drawing.
    • Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu, and select Open Panel Drawing.
  3. Edit, save and close the panel drawing.
Note:
  • You can check the status of the building’s panel drawings, and create, update or open the drawings by using the function Check Panel Drawing Status, if necessary.
  • You can recognize a panel drawing that needs to be updated from the asterisk (*) at the end of the panel label in the floor plan.
  • When you attach an external object to be shown in the panel drawing to the panel, the change does not affect the panel and the asterisk is not added to the panel label. However, the change requires the panel drawing to be updated. The program suggests the updating, when you open the drawing.
