Orient to the Model

Background

You can easily find an object’s location by hiding other systems. This allows you to share locations or to view clashes in a specific location and model. Once you orient the model, you can view the selected system more easily, even in 3D. You can choose more than one (1) object in one or more models.

You can also adjust the Settings to customize Orient.

  • Choose which sets stay visible when you Orient the model.

  • Select the direction that you want to set as the top of the model in a 2D plan view.

  • Enter an amount to adjust the Cut Plane's vertical position in your plan view.

Things to Consider

  • Required User Permissions:

    • 'Standard' or 'Admin' level permissions on the project's Coordination Issues tool.

Steps

  1. Do one of the following:

    • Select the object in the model and click Orient from the Clash Manager tab.

    • Right-click the object in the model and select Orient.

  2. To select more than one object, CTRL+click (CMD+click) the objects. More than one model displays.
