Master Set Drawing Sheets

Option System + Master Sets

Define the drawing sheets of a master set based on option combinations in a database view. If the database is empty, first add a row with the Edit > Add Row Before or Edit > Add Row After function on the menu bar of the database view.

When you start using a master set based on option combinations, move the templates folder containing the template drawing sheets from the building's opt_sheets folder to the MS folder.

Creating a New Drawing Sheet

  1. Select Options | Master Set.
  2. Click the New button.
  3. Select the template sheet.
  4. Type the sheet name in a text box, for example Elevations. The program creates a drawing file named Elevations_1.vxp in the MS folder under the building folder. The drawing file is opened in the workspace.
  5. Fill in the information about the drawing in the text fields.
  6. Close the database view by clicking OK.

The drawing sheet you created remains open and you can add elevation views or other drawings on the drawing sheet with the function Adding a Drawing on a Sheet.
