I am trying to create a 3D view but keep encountering a message that says,




ANSWER

This Information message will display if you try to use the Wall Elevation tool to create an exterior view of your model. 

The Wall Elevation tool is specifically designed to create an interior view of a single wall defining a room and cannot be used to create exterior views.


To create an exterior elevation view, select 3D> Create Orthographic View from the menu and use the Cross Section/Elevation  or Backclipped Cross Section  tool instead. You can also use any of the Auto Elevation  tools, as well.
