Vectorworks viewports update#

Vectorworks Design Series products allow you to create one or more viewports on a design layer, and the design layers shown in the viewports can be either from this document, or referenced from another document.

Design layer viewports (Vectorworks Design Series required).

When Renderworks is installed, a sheet layer viewport can be linked to a Renderworks camera. For more information on sheet layers, see Creating Layers. Sheet layers retain their own print settings, including print area, resolution, and printer setup parameters. Sheet layer viewports, often created for presentation purposes, are created on special layers called sheet layers. In both the Vectorworks Fundamentals and Vectorworks Design Series products, you can create one or more viewports on a sheet layer, and each viewport can show one or more design layers from this document. There are several different types of viewports, depending on whether you have the Vectorworks Fundamentals product or one or more Vectorworks Design Series products.

Vectorworks viewports update#

If the drawing changes, you can easily update the viewports to reflect the changes. Viewports can show other parts of the active document, or even portions of other documents.

Viewports can display entire, as well as cropped, views of a drawing, with specified layer and class visibility settings, projection, render mode, and orientation parameters (complete with details, annotations, dimensions, and title blocks).
