BIM Tools Weekly

- [Instructor] In this video, I'd like to look at inserting views from another file. So basically, what we wanna do here is we wanna be able to grab pre-defined views from another model. Essentially we do this when we set up our CAD standards at companies. Let's take a look. Let's start a new project under project. Let's use our architectural template. Say for example, maybe I want a couple schedules in here, and a couple drafting views. If we go to the insert tab, if we go insert from file, let's go do insert views from file.

And I'm gonna scroll around to where I'm keeping exercise files, and maybe I'll grab an architectural model. Click open. Now what we can do is we can grab several drafting views, keynote legends, schedules. Let's grab all this stuff. I won't grab my sheet, though. Click OK. And there we have it. So what we've done is we've brought in all the schedules we want, legends, sheets if we want, and all the views from another file.

This video is pretty quick, but it's a great feature.
