View List

After creating the project sheets and organizing their names and sets, we go to the View List tab to define the views for each sheet.

1. To get started, click on the View Manager button to manage the views in your model. On that tool, you’ll find all the views in the model, and in All column, choose whether you want to manage all the views or a specific type of view. For more information visit the View Manager User Guide

Import/Export excel file

If you have several views you want to place in the project, exporting to excel makes editing much easier. Export an Excel file, edit it as you wish, then import it into SheetGen to update the views placements.

1. Export the excel file from view list.
