Description

Magic Views consists of 3 different tools:

Magic Section

The easiest and fastest way to create and show a Section View on screen

Works in any plan view, even if sections are hidden
Pick the section start point, end point, and depth (far clip offset) directly on screen
Magic Section will generate a new section and directly show it on screen
The next time you run the add-in, Magic Section will reuse and move the same section that was originally generated
You will never have trouble again with new views being generated with a very large default depth, and taking forever to load

Magic 3D Box

The easiest and fastest way to create and show a 3D Section Box on screen

Works in any plan view, section view, or elevation view
Pick on the active view the rectangular box you want for your 3D view
Magic 3D Box will automatically show the resulting 3D section box on screen
The next time you run the add-in, Magic 3D Box will reuse and move the same 3D view that was originally generated
Unlike the native "Selection box" command, you don't need to select elements prior to running the addin. Pangolin Magic 3D Box works well when working with linked models

Hotkey to View

Quickly jump to particular views you have previously set up.

When working on a project, you usually have a set of views that you use repeatedly
Hotkey to View lets you define 10 different hotkeys to jump to your most relevant views in a single click
