Situation 1: Launch Visual Impression from the Drawing
-
Define a scene in the drawing by outlining a boundary around the items you want to include and then give the scene a name. The scene boundary is preserved in the drawing so that you can change products in the scene without having to redefine it.
-
Multiple scenes can be defined in a drawing and an item can be in more than one scene.
-
If no scene is defined, the default is the entire drawing.
-
Drawing edits are prohibited while you are working in Visual Impression and allowed when you exit the program.
-
Fabric and option selections made in Visual Impression can be applied back to the drawing and are included in the take-off.
-
If you're not ready to apply Visual Impression selections to the drawing but want to save them as alternatives, you can save them to a worksheet file. Worksheet files created this way can be updated against the drawing later in the process.
