Frame views: 3D view (left), front elevation (upper middle), plan view (lower middle), side section (right)

This guide explains how to set up the Drawing Configuration to show frames in shop drawing views:

• 3D view

• Front elevation

• Side section view

• Plan view

1. Select views

Below you will find steps explaining how to modify a sample Drawing Configuration to show frame views:

1. If you need more views (e.g. a 3D view), find an existing view (or add a new one) and change the Framing Layer to Frame. Now you have four views showing frames:

1. Delete views that do not have the Framing Layer set to Frame (optional):
