ViewCube hides components in Orthoviews after update

If you are experiencing issues with the ViewCube in older projects after an update, you will find a quick solution here for clearing the cache and controlling visibility.

No parts list is created on the Ortho drawing

This guide helps you avoid empty parts lists in Plant 3D by selecting the correct templates for your Ortho drawings.

Profiles with different lengths are listed as a single position in the parts list

Optimize your parts lists using targeted length filters to ensure that profiles with different dimensions are listed as individual positions.

MTO on the drawing – incorrect representation of profiles

Learn how to improve the evaluation and representation of profiles in your Material Take Offs (MTO) by choosing the correct parts list templates.

Components from other assemblies are also displayed

Use the "DetailOrthoCube" setting to avoid unwanted geometries in your drawings and to precisely limit the view creation to the relevant assembly.
