Generative view styles are defined by an administrator and specify the appearance and behavior of a generated view. For more information on GVS, refer to Generative Drafting User’s Guide: Generative View Style: About Generative View Styles.

The reference planes that will be used for a given project are defined in an XML file pointed by a Project Resource Management resource, Reference Plane System. For more information, refer to Reference Plane System.

For more information about how to create views using generative view styles, how to set generative view style parameters or more generally on administering generative view styles, refer to the Generative Drafting User's Guide: Generative View Style.

You can customize generative view style parameters for the reference plane system. These parameters are shared by all structure applications.
