Copy Plan to 3D

Before you run Bind covers let’s take a look at an example of what happens if you do not run the command.

1. Click on the button on the Cap Tools toolbar.
   The command will prompt you to select objects.
   
   

2. Select all the plan view (2D) parts you have built. Draw the selection window from right to left to make sure to include all the parts.
   
   

3. Press Enter to accept the selection.
   
   

4. This will bring up a prompt asking for the Base point or displacement:  Select a point in the middle of the selected parts by clicking on it.
   
   

5. This will bring up the command prompt request for the Second point of displacement:  Pick a point off to the right side and place the 3D as shown below.
   
   
   
   

6. From the AutoCAD View menu, select 3D Views, SW Isometric.
   
   
   
   Note: There are no covers on the 3D representation.  This is because the Bind Covers command has not been run.  Until Bind is run, the covers we placed on the elevation templates will not be placed on the 2D or 3D representations.
