Project: HiCAD Basics

3-D Views

One of the main advantages of 3-D construction is the illustrative visualisation of models at a very early construction phase. The definition of views, i.e. the possibility of assessing the 3-D model from every angle, is of major importance here. HiCAD distinguishes between model and sheet views.

• The sheet views display the production drawings that can be derived automatically from the 3-D model.
  
  

• In addition, HiCAD enables you to use genuine 3-D views, so-called model views, such as any detail and sectional views, cut-outs in any depth and direction, list views with certain assemblies or parts and much more. This does not modify the position of the views in the sheet area.
  
  

Worthy of particular mention is that genuine 3-D views can even be used for displaying the production drawings from 3-D models. As all views in HiCAD are associative, changes to the production drawing are automatically transferred to the 3-D model and vice versa. This enables you to switch, as you wish, between model and sheet views.
