Layout (paper space)
Compose printable sheets — title blocks and viewports onto the model — for plotting and PDF output.
Model space vs paper space
The Plan / Profile / Sections / 3D tabs are model space — the real-world design at full scale. A Layout tab is paper space — a sheet at a paper size (A1, A3, …) onto which you place scaled viewports that look into the model.
Working with layouts
- Add a sheet with the + tab next to Layout 1 (the AutoCAD pattern). Every layout created this way is a full paper-space canvas like Layout 1 — same sheet, viewports and pan/zoom.
- Place viewports referencing a model view (Plan, Profile, Sections or 3D) at a chosen scale.
- Add a title block and drafting annotation around them.
Status
The Layout tab is the home of paper-space drafting (sheets, title blocks,
viewports, dimensioning). It uses generic 2D-CAD drawing primitives rather
than the semantic civil objects of the design tabs — a line on a sheet is just
a line. Capabilities here expand over time; check the in-app Layout ribbon for
what is available in your build.
