Adjusting the Depth of an Elevation View

In an Elevation view, you can adjust the sightline you are inspecting the view by repositioning the section line that appears. For example, you can use an Elevation view to display:

  • The building’s exterior facade
  • Or, a section cut through the building parallel to that facade

Some camera modes also have additional options available in the user interface, like the section view in Elevation, which allows you to adjust what sightline you are inspecting the façade from.

  • Switching the building thumbnail in the top right of the elevation mode from 3D to 2D.
  • Then drag the section line to the location that you’d like to view this elevation from.

  • If you drag the section line to the exterior of the building facade, you’ll see an Elevation view that shows the exterior of the building.

  • If you drag the section line to the interior of the building facade, you’ll see a Section view that exposes the interior of the building. Note: You may need to Hide the Technical Details using the Visualization Options menu to see the interior.
