What is the use case for the ‘View sorting output’ option. I was testing it out and could not figure out what exactly it was doing?

[Miguel]

Good question, @Elliottk ! The view sorting output is used to sequence and organize the views on the sheet.

For example, when creating exterior wall elevations of a building, this feature ensures that the views are placed in chronological order.

How?

1. Create a bundle that groups the following tasks:

   • Create views by category (select exterior walls)
   • Create sheets by category
   • Place views on sheets

2. Adjust the parameter value of the “mark” parameter for each wall based on how you want the views to be distributed.
   Example:

   • Wall 1 has the parameter “mark” value of: A
   • Wall 2 has the parameter “mark” value of: B
   • Wall 3 has the parameter “mark” value of: C

3. Set the view sorting output to:

   • Parameter: Mark
   • Sorting Option: Ascending

4. Glyph will ensure that the views are organized in the following order (A, B, C) before placing them on a sheet.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,
Miguel

Bugs

• Fixed the issue where the scope box name parameter was not filtering the element selection list
• Fixed the issue where selected elements were getting erased when switching from task to task

Thanks for the explanation but I still appear to be having difficulties. I tried to recreate the steps you outlines using curtain walls.

Here are the walls in question. The tags are displaying the ‘mark’ values.

My first attempt was to sort by mark in a descending order.

With the following results.

I then tried with the sort set to ascending and got the same result.

[Miguel]

It looks like it’s only doing descending for both settings. I have added this bug to the backlog and it will be fixed in 2.0.0.2. Thank you!
