Profiles as lines drawing

in 3D Modeling

I have a 3D model of a building and I need to create a 'stick' drawing of the plans and elevations.

I have copied the model to another drawing and selected the 'apply profile' command to change the all of the structural sections into lines.

The problem I have is I am not able to show this on a viewport. I have tried the 'generate viewport' command with no luck, also 'flatshot' doesn't work either in model space.

Any suggestions. I am using V20 BIM.

thx

    Hello.

    In drawings created from BIM sections, 2D entities are not displayed.
    There is the particular case of components using the BRX_2D layers, but it seems not to be suitable for this situation.

    Something that could be useful is to create a dummy profile using a circle with a very small radius, maybe 0.5mm
    Then apply this profile to the structural columns and beams.
    Being 3D entities, the structural elements will be represented in the drawings created from BIM section.

    Alternatively, maybe, using a standard viewport could be useful.
