EZ 3D View Creator

Levels can come from the host or a loaded link. Scope boxes belong to the current project. Read the selected names before creating the combinations.

Level source

Choose the model containing the levels. Use a linked architectural model when the coordination host has no useful levels; the chosen link instance supplies its placement transform.

Levels · All / None

Check the levels to include. All checks every level; None clears the list. At least one level is required. The highest-level option determines whether the last slice is generated.

Scope boxes · All / None

Check the host scope boxes that define the horizontal limits. Each checked box generates a view for each eligible level. All selects all boxes; None uses the unscoped model extent instead of a zone box.

Bottom offset

Length in project units, added to the current level. A negative value extends below the level to include its slab. The initial default is −1 ft, displayed in the project’s units.

Top offset

Length added to the level above the slice; initially zero. For example, a negative offset stops below the next level. The resulting top must remain above the bottom.

Highest selected level · Include / Height

Include enables the last slice, which has no selected level above it. Height supplies its vertical extent; initially 30 ft in project units. With only one selected level, include it to obtain a view.

Names must be valid and unique across all planned views. Saved settings are a starting point: check them when switching projects.

View name pattern

Use {Level}, {Scope} and {Model}; tokens are case-insensitive. The default is 3D_{Scope}_{Level}. When no scope exists, its empty token and adjacent separators are cleaned. Inspect the planned names for collisions.

View template

Choose a 3D view template or <None>. The template controls display and any parameters it locks; use a coordination template that exposes the geometry needed for export.

Browser grouping · Parameter / Text value / Valid choice

Select a supported writable view parameter, or Do not set. Text uses the value field, initially EZ3DViews. Discipline and Phase use their valid dropdown choices instead; choose one before creation. The selected value is written to every generated view, so match your Browser Organization rules.

Match current 3D orientation

Available when the active view is a non-template 3D view. Copies that viewing direction to the generated views. Open the desired 3D view first if you want a consistent presentation angle.

Update views that already exist

Checked by default. A matching name updates the existing view instead of creating a second copy. Review the pattern before re-running because name matching determines which views are updated.

NWC export is optional and requires the Autodesk NWC exporter installed for the running Revit version.

Export each view to NWC

Exports one NWC per generated view using shared coordinates. If the exporter is unavailable, this option is disabled. View visibility and the template affect the exported content.

Export folder · Browse

Browse selects a writable destination; you can also enter its path. Verify the folder in the confirmation summary. Exported files are disk outputs and are separate from Revit’s model Undo.

Include linked models in the NWC

Checked initially. Include loaded linked geometry when the coordination package needs it; clear it for host-only exports.

Create views

Validates the levels, offsets, unique names and export setup, then presents a planned-view summary for confirmation. Confirm to create/update views and run enabled exports. Read the final created, updated, skipped and export results.

Close

Closes the configuration window without generating views.
