How to use View Templates in Shop Drawing views?

View Templates are used in Drawing Configurations > Views tab for your assembly views:

1. Use your own view templates

If you already have view templates for Elevations/Sections, Floor Plans and 3D Views, you can skip this step.

If you need to create shop drawings with linked MEP models, read this article

2. Create new view templates

Create View Templates for each view (Elevation/Section, Floor Plan and 3D View). It's recommended to open a specific view with a framed wall and follow these steps:

1. Change the Scale

2. Increase the Detail Level to Fine

3. Hide various family categories (e.g. Levels)
