Once your drawing is complete, you will need to create elevation views of all the configurations so that installers can determine how to build them. Panel Builder has two types of elevations: dynamic and static.
The best practice is to use static elevations, for the reasons outlined below:
-
Dynamic elevations are designed to support full height wall products. Instead of showing the front and back of each configuration, they show a view run of panels. In most drawings this would result in many more elevations, which is why they may not be the best practice for the product line that you are working with in Panel Builder.
-
Since they are dynamic, there is a link between them and the configurations associated with them. While this link means that, unlike static elevations, they do not have to be updated when configurations change, it also means that they cannot be exploded and manually edited to add more information to them.
