   Step-by-step instructions :

Open View in Modeling closes your current view and lets you reopen the saved version of that view or any other erection view that you have created in Site Planning. To open any view that a user of a full-featured SDS2 program has created in your current Project, you have to check " Show All " in step 2.

1 . While you are in Modeling , invoke Open View using any one (1) of the following methods:

Method 1 : Click the Open View icon, which is pictured above. The icon can be taken from the group named ' File -- Views/Grids ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).

Method 2 : If " Modeling layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose File > View/Grids > Open View .

Method 3, 4 or 5 : Open View can also be configured to be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , the context menu , or a mode . For the lightning interface, this configuration is done using Customize Interface . The default keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + o .

2 . The Select One Erection View dialog opens. On it is a list of erection views. If you check the box for " Show All ," all erection views in your current Job will be shown. If you uncheck " Show All ," only those views that you created in Site Planning will be listed.
