Reflected ceiling plan views that are needed for construction documents can
be created for the specific discipline that requires them after the project has
been created.
Creating a Working View

view is the same as the views that will be used on construction documents,
but the settings are different so that more or less of the model can be
seen.Workingviewsalsoallowfordifferentgraphicrepresentationswithout
having to constantly change back and forth within the view that goes on
a sheet. For example, ductwork plans are typically shown in Hidden Line
style, which can be difficult to navigate because of performance. A working
view can be created that is set to Wireframe, which is easily navigable, and
the modeling can be done there.
One thing to note about using working views is that it may cause problems
with keeping your project coordinated. If you are used to working in this
type of view during the course of a project, you may place tags, dimensions,
or other annotation elements in the working views, which will not show
up in the view that actually gets placed on a sheet. To avoid this kind of
problem, you may want to consider disabling tags in the working views.
This way, whenever the designers attempt to tag an object, the tag won't be
visible, reminding them that they are trying to tag in the wrong view.
