Before you begin the actual steps of detailing:

• For cast in place detailing: Create work frame views using the (Select View) tool. A view is simply a piece of the model for which you want to create a 2D drawing. A work frame serves as the boundary for each view. For example, if you want to create a 2D drawing of a beam-column intersection, you first draw a work frame around the desired area on the model and create the desired view. For details, Select View dialog.
• For precast detailing or assembly instructions: Assign position numbers to all parts on the model. Positioning for instructions on assigning position numbers.
