Other drawing views• Multitude of 3D views
– Who said we cannot use them in documents?
• Orient views– Cutaway 3D sections
• Schedules– Bring them out of the specification and onto
drawings
• Room and Area fills• Shadows and shading

Standards• Naming Conventions
– Views– families
• Object Styles– Subcategories – the closest thing to layers – urrgh!!
• Details– Save as views– Utilities to save model items and views
• Templates– Allows control of your office standards
