Use the 3D Body Component of a Material for the 2D Elevation Linework
Use this procedure to use the 3D Body component of a material for the linework in a 2D elevation.
1 Select an elevation that has the style you want to change, right-click, and click Edit 2D Section/Elevation
Style.
2 Click the Display Properties tab.
3 Select 2D Section/Elevation Style for the property source, and click Style Override.
4 If necessary, click .
5 Click the Other tab.
6 Determine if the 3D body component of the selected material should control the display of the linework
in the 2D elevation:
Then… If you want to control the display…
select Use 3D Body Display Component for By Material
Linework. of the 2D elevation linework by the 3D Body component of
the material
deselect Use 3D Body Display Component for By Material
Linework. This is the default behavior. of the 2D elevation linework by the 2D Section/Elevation
Linework component of the material
7 Click OK twice.
Adding a Design Rule to a 2D Elevation Style
Use this procedure to add a design rule to a 2D elevation style. A design rule has four fields of information that identify
lines in the elevation and determine how to display them:
Description Field
Identifies the color of the objects in the building model presented
by the lines in the elevation Color
Identifies the context of the lines in the elevation, such as in a graphic
subdivision Context
Identifies the display component to which the lines are assigned Component
Contains a description of the design rule Description
For example, a design rule has the color 50, a context of Within Subdivision 2, and a component of New. This rule
assigns any lines in the elevation representing objects that have the color 50 in the building model and that are within
subdivision 2 in the elevation to the user-defined display component, New.
On the Design Rules tab, you can also specify that all hidden linework that is not handled by a specific design rule will
be assigned to the Hidden display component. You could use this option if you want to generate an elevation of an
object or a set of objects and see all edges, for example, if you are creating foundations and form work.
NOTE Alternatively, you can define which hidden linework should be displayed by object material. For more information,
see
“ Controlling the Display of Hidden Lines by Material ” on page 529 .
1 Select an elevation that has the style you want to change, right-click, and click Edit 2D Section/Elevation
Style.
2 Click the Design Rules tab, and click Add.
A new design rule is created with default color, context, and component values.
