10.10.00 Named Views and Hot Links - Overview

Last Updated: 2022-03-22 11:34

Named Views and Hot Links are used together to provide an easy way to navigate to detail Pages in your bid. They act as shortcuts of a sort to allow you to jump to details, sections, or elevations easily and quickly.

  • A Named View is a defined location on a Plan in your Bid - often a floorplan Page references some Detail Page or a section/region of a Detail page.
  • A Hot Link is a shortcut to a Named View. A Hot Link provides a way to quickly jump to a Named View from any Page in a Bid (kind of like a hyperlink).

We cover creating and using Named Views and Hot Links in the next few articles.

The Views Pane shows you every Named View in the bid and the Page on which it is defined, see Related Articles for more information on the Views Pane.

Opening a Named View from Views Pane

Typically, you will use a Hot Link to "jump to" a Named View, but you can use the Views Pane to navigate to a Named View also.

Open the Views Pane (by default, it is in the right slide-out - see Related Articles for more information on docking/moving Panes).

Click the Open Related Page button open related page button next to the Named View in the list

A new Takeoff Window opens (another Tab is created) and your Named View is shown. 

Note
Only one "Named View Tab" is ever opened - if you click another Open Related Page button, the existing "Named View" Tab updates to show the newly selected Named View.

Show-Hide

You can toggle the Links/Views Layer to temporarily hide Named View frames and Hot Links on your plans, see Using the Layers Pane to Create, Manage, and Show-Hide Layers for details.
