Hi guys,
Thanks for your responses.
Mike, I'll try and explain my desired outcome.... Bear with me.
I generally start by creating an Isometric of the a completed frame. Each piece is assigned a name and created as a component. This portion of the drafting is very helpful to me, because I use the timber list ruby frequently (thanks Clark) and our team finds the 3D picture of the entire project very useful.
Once that drawing is completed, I would like to find a way to 'highlight' certain sections of the frame (bents, walls and floors, for example), and be able to view them on their own without opening a new file. Essentially, create line drawings of frame sections to create simple working drawings.
I thought I was on to something by using the section plane tool, creating a group from a slice, highlighting and assigning a new component value. But, beyond that, I'm having difficulty viewing it on it's own, either with scenes or layers.
Having said that, scenes and layers are relatively uncharted territory for me, so I may be missing a small piece of the puzzle.
Brock
