Changing the Panel Viewing Direction

The default viewing direction of a front projection in a panel drawing is from the outside of the wall. The panel labels are added to the outside of the wall in a floor plan drawing. When generating the panel breaks, you can select the viewing direction from inside the wall by selecting the Interior view checkbox in the Wall Panelizing Settings dialog box. The panel labels are added to the inside of the wall in a floor plan drawing.

After generating the panel breaks, you can change the panel viewing direction as follows:

1. Select Panels > Panel Properties.
2. Select a panel. In the example figure, the default viewing direction (from the outside) was used when generating the panel breaks. The panel label is on the outside of the wall.

   

   The program displays two symbols in the middle of the panel: the panel label zero point symbol (A) and the panel zero point symbol (B).

   

   The symbols are overlapping.

   

3. Select the panel zero point symbol.

   

4. Click the Flip button on the contextual toolbar.
5. Select Confirm. The symbols are located in their original spots, mirrored.

   

6. Reselect Confirm. The change is saved on the panel and you exit the edit mode. The panel label moves to the inside of the wall.

   

Note

• You can move the panel label using the same function. Select the panel label zero point symbol and select a new location for it.
