Different instances in one form
-
hello,
i have a probably quite stupid question, and i think there must be a simple solution to this but didnt find it anywhere so i hope you can help me?!I have a model with a door, and in layout i want one picture with the door open(real case is a bit more complicated), and one with the door closed. I tried saving the different instances as different files, but somehow it always keeps jumping around again. Is there someway to work this out?
any help is greatly appreciated! -
Make to components - one door closed, one door open - you can use make_unique to keep a lot of geometry the same.
Ensure all of the components' contents are on Layer0.
Place the two component instances over each other.
Now set up two layers - I use the following names for clarity only - you choose - LayerOpen and LayerClosed.
Assign the layers to the matching component-instance.
Switch the 'LayerOpen' layer off so you only see the 'closed version.
Save the view, with layers etc as a Scene-Tab.
Repeat this swapping the ON/OFF layers so 'LayerClosed' is hidden and 'LayerOpen' shows.
Save that as a different Scene-Tab.
In Layout you can use these different Scene-Tabs in different 'viewports'...
You can apply this to many aspects of your model... making things visible/hidden as you desire - learn to use Layers and Scene-Tabs effectively...
