Hi all
For some time now, I've been using SW for relatively simple personal projects (furniture, metal structure, common metalwork, etc....) Until now I have never been confronted with this problem.
Let me explain:
I modeled a staircase in 3D with Sw (obviously ^^), now I would like to plan it. I have 5 stringers where are welded step supports to fix the wooden steps.
I would like to isolate each stringer with ITS walking support on ONE plan sheet.
Example: "Stringer 1" has 5 different walking supports.
I would like to show that this silt on a plan sheet.
"Stringer 2" same thing, and so on...
I've been on this problem for 3 days, look at a lot of tutorials but I can't find the solution to this little problem...
It is an all-steel staircase with wooden steps. I'll put you a picture.
Kind regards
Flo

Hello. When you draw up, you select "model view", blue arrow and " body selection ". All you have to do is choose on your 3D the parts you want to see on your MEP. I hope to be able to answer your request.

Hello
First of all, thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I can't find the "body selection" option
No matter how much I look, I can't find ^^
Hello
To have the selection of bodies you have to make a drawing and when you drag your part to the top left you in Solidworks you will have this function and by clicking on it you will have the part or the 3D assembly and you will click on the parts you will need for your drawing.
If you are multi-body in my same room of course!
If you are in an assembly you can select the parts you need and right-click to create a sub-assembly and from there you can make the drawing and repeat the operation for the part of the staircase you want to draw with the tread supports.

Hello
Frankly, I don't see... I'll leave you a screenshot, maybe it'll be clearer.
Thank you in advance

So I was going to do sub-assembly, except that I can't do that either... The right click doesn't offer me that...
Look at the selection in the creation tree and then right click

Hello
So here I am I spent a lot of time looking for the why I don't see "on right click" the "create a subassembly" function. I deduced that as soon as there is a symmetrical component created in the assembly, it does not offer me this option... As a result, I selected the components that had no symmetry and I was able to create subassemblies. I had to fill in the missing parts once the "new assembly create" file
Now it works perfectly, even if I have to row a little to replace all the components I was missing.
I will see things differently now.
Thank you so much for your help!!
