Views
After the structure of the building project is defined, and constructs are assigned
to levels and divisions, you can start to create view drawings. A view drawing
references a number of constructs to present a specific view of the building
project. To create a view drawing, you first decide which portion of the building
you wish to look at and which type of view to generate. You could, for
example, create a first-floor reflected ceiling plan or a second-floor framing
plan, or create a composite view of all floors in the building. View drawings
automatically reference the appropriate constructs according to their
level/division assignments within the building. For example, to create a floor
plan of the west wing of the second floor, you would create a view that
references all constructs assigned to the second floor and the west wing. This
would also include a curtain wall spanning the first through fifth floors.

In a view drawing you also add data like annotation, dimensions, and schedule
tables.
Types of View Drawings
There are 3 different types of view drawings in the Drawing Management
feature:
â–  General view drawing: A general view drawing contains referenced
constructs from the project, representing a specific view on the building
model. General view drawings are based on the general view template
defined in the project settings.
You can reference a view drawing in a sheet. When you reference the view
drawing into a sheet, a sheet view is created that contains the view drawing
reference.
