BCFier can't find views

[drgreb]

The problem is following:

1. AR makes his model
2. EL links it and makes his design, but as he has comments and questions to AR, he's using BCFier to capture them.
3. If AR opens BCF file with EL comments, he can't open attached views (2d).

Is there a way to overcome it? Is it possible to open 3d view with section box and make multiple views with different section box sizes and still be able to open them in AR model (without EL or linked EL)?

BCFier cannot create 2D views, so the view has to already exist in both models and have the same ID to be opened and exchanged via BCF. BCFier will then take care of zooming/pannig on the right part of the view. Is this the case?

Got it. Whats view ID? Name or GUID?
Can we create a plan in both models and name it, say, Level 1 Coordination, so that BCFier would find it?

It's the ElmentID assigned by Revit, so naming won't work right now, although we could expand its definition and have a fallback based on the view name...
