Create an Independent Section Viewpoint

Note: This process is identical for Independent Elevation Viewpoints.

“Independent” sections, with or without a marker, can be created in some windows. These viewpoints have no model source; they are listed as “Independent” viewpoints in the Navigator.

In an independent section, you can use 2D tools to create or add new content. Use copy-paste to transfer selected items from a Trace Reference into the drawing window in 2D form for further editing.

To create an independent Section without a marker, use the “Create New Independent Section” command. This creates an empty viewpoint without a marker, but listed in the Navigator.

This command is accessible:

from the context menu of a Section item in the Navigator Project Map. Right-click on this folder and choose the “New Independent Section” command from the context menu

from the Document > Documenting Tools submenu

by clicking the New Viewpoint icon at the bottom of the Navigator Palette Project Map, if a Section is selected in the Project Map.

If you wish this independent Section viewpoint to be linked to a marker, place a linked Section marker into the project and link it (“Marker Reference to”) to the existing independent Section.
