Ravenstown Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I am new to MEP and am just getting around to formatting my model into paper drawings. There are a few paperspace drawings that I created with not only "plan" viewports but also "elevation" viewports. After successfully annotating and dimensioning the "plan" viewports I attempted to do the same to the "elevation" viewports with no success. Nothing shows up... am I doing something wrong. I did notice that the dimensions were showing up in the plan viewport (on the wrong plane), just not the elevation view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 The Elevation Viewports.... are you generating sections/elevations using the AutoCAD MEP Section & Elevation tools, or are you simply changing the UCS/View to rotate around the model?

tzframpton Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I created the elevation by simply changing the UCS/view.... wrong method?I wouldn't call this the "wrong" method, but depending on your intention is with this particular elevation it might not be the "best" method. With AMEP, I always use the "Section & Elevation" tools. This way you can have much better control of the visual output of the objects you're wanting to view. Also, see this thread for a possible hotfix that might be causing you issues with these tools: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?69368-2D-section-on-Autocad-MEP&p=474884#post474884 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
