Open a Drawing Sheet without Updating

You can open a drawing sheet without updating the views on the sheet in the following cases:

  • Where there is only a floor plan drawing created directly from the building model on the drawing sheet. It will be updated automatically.
  • Where you have already updated the views on the drawing sheet and have not edited the building model, the drawing generation model or the drawing settings of the views after updating.

You can open a drawing sheet by double-clicking on the sheet name in the building’s document browser.

  1. Open the Architectural documents/Sheets branch in the project document browser.
  2. Double-click on a sheet name.
Note:
  • Drawing sheets can be organized in the document browser by file name or description. The order-determining property is set in the system settings with the keyword sort_view_sheets_by_file_name. The default varies in different localization environments.
    • sort_view_sheets_by_file_name = 0: The sheets are organized by the description.
    • sort_view_sheets_by_file_name = 1: The sheets are organized by the file name.
