Create Stack Drawings

Framer

You can create a drawing from one stack or all stacks at once. The drawing shows different views of the stack and a list of the panels belonging to the stack.

The drawing is based on the selected template drawing. The basic software delivery includes some ready-made template drawings. The locations and sizes of the views and schedules to be added to the stack drawing are defined in the template drawing. You can create a customer-specific library for your own template drawings, see Create Your Own Stack Template Drawing Library.

The stack drawings are temporarily stored in the Tmp folder in the building’s folder. Final drawings are saved in the Stack folder in the building’s folder when you save the building. After saving, the drawings appear in the building's document browser branch Stacking / Stack drawings. The asterisk (*) behind the drawing label indicates that the drawing is not up to date. When you update the drawing, the asterisk will be removed from the label.
