Show and modify drawing views in the model
In Tekla Structures 2020 you can now show the drawing views of the selected drawings in any of the open model views to get a clearer understanding of exactly where a drawing view is located in the 3D model, the view direction, and the 3D extents of that view. You can adjust those views by using direct modification to show and modify the view extents and view plane in the model and have that reflected on the drawing.
