Creating a new level may or may not create a corresponding plan view (controlled by the Make Plan View option). Sketching a level defaults to creating a plan view. But copying an existing level will default to not creating a plan view, which is useful for creating relationships to content where no plan view is needed (for example, if you want to control multiple window elevations). The graphic indication of a level, which doesn’t have a corresponding view, will be that the head of the level is black rather than blue.If you want to convert a datum level that doesn’t have a view to one that does, simply select the Plan View option in the Create panel on the View tab. This will open the dialog box
You’ll be able to select among all the non-view levels in your project and convert them to view corresponding levels.
You can also use this option to create duplicate views of existing levels. Simply uncheck the option at the bottom of the dialog box
and you’ll see all the levels in your project.
