Create Bulk Viewpoints

Objective

To create multiple viewpoints for clashes.

Background

You can automatically create viewpoints for each clash to provide consistency and streamline your workflow. You can create viewpoints for specific clash statuses, so that you can focus on the most important issues. Viewpoints are saved to a time-stamped folder, creating a clear record in time.

You can create 3 different types of viewpoints:

  • 3D view

  • Orient Plan view

  • Isolate view

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:

    • Standard or Admin level permissions on the project's Coordination Issues tool.
