I am not at a point yet where I can work within "gotoviews" or however DataCad expects to generate interior elevations. Isn't there some way to capture a "front elevation" of a 3d toilet in the symbols library and "paste" it to the drawing space so I can traditionally draw interior elevations? Can't figure it out. need to do the same with a wall-hung lav.
Thanks in advance,
George

I drug in a 3d toilet from the 3d toilets file and rotated it 270 degrees about it's "x" axis. Looks a little busy with all of the red lines (my thinnest pen, so no big woop probably). I could trace over the outline of the perimeter and defining curves and erase the underlying symbol.... might do that.

Might go to the 3d menu and do a hide on it, might remove the rear lines.

Or bring it up in the Symbol Editor and go to a Front Elevation. Perform an HLR and save the result to a new layer. Make that new layer Active Only and delete the others. Then do a Save As to a new symbol name.

If the symbol is in your drawing, you can Control/Right Click on it, and go to Symbol Tools / Edit Symbol. In the Symbol Browser, you can Right Click on it and select Edit Symbol.

The third way, is to change the Program Preference / Drawing and toggle on Double-click for Symbol Editor. Then when the symbol is in your drawing, just double click on it.
