these views, and those modifications will be instantaneously propagated to all other
relevant views (as you will recall, this is called bidirectional associativity).
Drafting views are somewhat detached from the model itself, but they play a valuable role

Sheet views are a specialized view that typically contains one or more other view types

and your title block. They are used for creating your finished construction documents and
presentation drawings.
Now let’s look at each one of these view types and see how they can be created in your project.
Plans
One thing to understand about plan views is their relationship to the levels you create. A new
plan view is not automatically added to the Project Browser every time you draw a new level in
your project. Copying an existing level to create a new one will not automatically create a plan
view. In these cases, you must create the view after the level is created.
To create a new plan view for a level that does not currently have one, follow these steps:
1. Select the Floor Plan command from the View tab of the Design bar, or from the menu
bar select View  New  Floor Plan.
2. Select one or more levels to create plan views in the New Plan dialog box (see Figure 1.19).
If you are using this method to create a duplicate plan, be sure the Do Not Duplicate Existing
Views check box is not selected. Also note that you can preset the scale of the plans being created.
