After the ribbon button is clicked, a dialog will appear.
List of Concerns:
- Display Hierarchy: to specify the criteria that the list is based on, By Type, By Class, By Discipline, By Phase, or By Name.
- Tree Nodes: can be checked (fully or partially) to indicate what concerns will particular into the coming operations.
- Buttons: Check All/UnCheck All/Collapse/Expand/Show Checked/Show UnChecked/Invert Chosen/Show Al
Buttons:
- Cancel: to dismiss the dialog without doing anything to the model.
- OK: to close the dialog and transport chosen views.
If the OK button is clicked, a model picker will show up as follows.
After one or more good model candidates are chosen and the OK button clicked, those concerns will be transported into these models accordingly. A progress bar will appear to show what will be going on in any moment.
At last, an information box will appear to display what have been done.
The transporting result can be checked by switching to the model and see.
Before the transportation, there are no views at all in the target model.
After the transportation, the model has many views, even including Roof, Sections and Detail Views, as specified in the transporter dialog.
Whether to replace those existing duplicate views having the same names as concerned in the transporter dialog can be specified in the Transporters group of the Settings dialog. Whether to copy 2D elements on the views of concern can also be specified there.
