Catalogues and Specifications Reference Manual

Component Design and Representation in PARAGON : Reference Section : Setting Profile Representation for Steelwork


Keywords:	REPRESENTATION PROFILE
Description:	The REPRESENTATION PROFILE commands allow structural steel profiles to be represented by a single centreline or by a 2D outline. In some cases, it helps to switch between the two representations to simplify an otherwise complicated view. Changes to the representation are not instantly updated on the screen. To see the effects of a representation change, it is necessary to replace the affected item in the Draw List by Removing and Adding it.

Examples:


REPR PROF ON PROF CL OFF	Sets profile representation as 2D outline
REPR PROF CL ON PROF OFF	Sets profile representation as centreline
REPR PROF ON PROF CL ON	Sets both types of representation on
