  • Check the box for Show exploded positions on the Display Options window. This makes it easier to see the members that have exploded view positions set.
  • If you later auto detail this erection view as an Exploded . . . 2D erection view detail, automatic detailing draws the member(s) you selected during this operation in their actual position in the 3D model (not in their exploded positions since those are cleared).
  • To move a member's exploded view position (not reset it back to zero displacement), use Set Exploded View Position. You do not have to Clear Exploded View Position first. The member is simply be assigned the newest exploded view position that you set.
