Placing portions of a document in a layout

Module(s): Layout

There are several ways of placing just sections of a document in a layout rather than the entire document itself.

You can use the Layout Window tool.

This is usually the easiest approach:

• As opposed to layout sections, it is not necessary to create an original layout from which to cut a section to create a new layout.
• Additional documents can subsequently be inserted in a layout window.

You can use detailing windows

Use this option to

• display selected elements in the section or in the original, depending on the situation.
• work in document mode in a section.
• use the section to hide parts of the original.

You can use the Crop Layout module to 'cut' the oversize layout into a number of sections.

Use this option if

• you want to create layouts in addition to the original one.
• the section is not to be perpendicular to the layout.
• you want to create a site plan-specific layout border.
