\n

In the software, every opened view is treated as an independent window. This means that each view has its own properties<\/strong>, which can be configured entirely independently of other opened windows.<\/p>\n

1. General visibilities (for all view types)<\/h4>\n

Whether it is a 2D top view, a section, or a 3D view \u2013 you always have full control over what<\/em> is displayed:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • By categories:<\/strong> Specifically show or hide entire groups of objects (e.g., dimensions, furniture, or guidelines).<\/li>\n
  • By layers:<\/strong> Control the visibility of entire floors or layers (e.g., only show the ground floor while the upper floor remains hidden).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2. Specific properties depending on the view type<\/h4>\n

    In addition to the general filters, the different view types offer specialized settings:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Sections & side views:<\/strong> Here, the Hidden line representation<\/strong> (hiding hidden edges) is crucial for creating clean facade plans or technical sections.<\/li>\n
    • 3D visualizations:<\/strong> Here you can define atmospheric parameters such as the sun position<\/strong> (cast shadows) or individual background images<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      3. Practical application examples<\/h4>\n

      Because of this independence, you can display different scenarios in parallel:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Light studies:<\/strong> Open two 3D views side by side \u2013 one showing the lighting in the morning, the other the situation in the afternoon.<\/li>\n
      • Floor comparison:<\/strong> Use two 2D windows to simultaneously edit the ground floor in one and the upper floor in the other, without constantly having to switch layers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

        Summary<\/h3>\n

        The separation of view properties enables a highly flexible workflow. You can view the model simultaneously from technical (construction), organizational (floors), and visual (visualization) aspects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
