  1. From the Smart View section of the action bar, click Create View or Create Structural View .
  2. In the Smart View Panel dialog box, select a sheet, a 3D object, and a plane.
  3. Select a view template.

    Tip: In the Catalog Browser , you can double-click a template to select it.
    The template chapter is saved as preference for next time usage.

  4. Under View Properties, double-click the required parameter and modify it.
  5. In the Primary Content Filter tab, create a spatial filter box.

    Recommendation: Create a spatial filter box if you want to use the multiview option.

  6. In the General tab, at the lower-left corner, click Show Smart Multiview Creation .
  7. In the Smart Multiview Creation dialog box, choose Select Plane.
  8. From the 3D area, select one or more planes.

    Only the planes, which are parallel to the main view plane can be selected.

    The spatial filter box on the main view is translated to selected planes in the multiview dialog box with the same offset as specified on the main view.

    If the spatial filter box is modified, click Refresh Preview.

  9. Optional: In the plane list, right-click and choose Select from Reference Planes.

    The Space Reference System (SRS) planes system list shows only the planes, which are parallel to the main view plane.

  10. Click OK.
    All the views are created on the same sheet. The other views are created with view names having the plane names as their prefix. For example, If the 56th plane is selected, the view name is ASD View_FR.56.

Note:

The view update rules created using the object selection are not copied to the additional views. The view update rules created using KWE rules or a view template containing view update rules, are copied to the additional views.
