Views Panel
Use this panel to create and use custom defined views.
Open this panel by clicking the Views icon in the top right corner of your screen or by using the Shift V shortcut. An overview of all saved views will be displayed here.
Creating Views
Save your current view by clicking the green plus button in the bottom right of the panel. You can give the view a name and optionally assign a location and one or more labels. The view can store the following information:
Currently opened model(s)
Active scope, if a scope is set
Active sections, if any are active
Selected products, if any are selected
Current camera position
For each of these parameters you can choose whether or not to include them in the saved view.
Managing Views
Once a view is created, it will show up in the Views panel. The image below shows the layout of the views panel, including the following elements:
Search bar to find specific views
Filter and grouping options. You can filter by label, and group by model or label
Collapse/Expand all

Once a view is created it can still be edited. You can choose to keep, update or exclude any of the parameters outlined in the beginning of this article.
Views for 2D Drawing Generation
The Views panel is the start of any 2D drawing generated in Qonic. To create views for drawing creation, either:
Use the automatically generated views mentioned in point (4) above, or
Create custom views. To generate drawings there is one hard requirement: the view needs to include a section box. This contains the necessary information to know the direction, extents and depth of the view being generated.
Note that 2D drawings are generated based on the latest public version of the model(s), so make sure to publish your changes before generating the drawings.
