Setting Obstruction Representation for Steelwork

REPRESENTATION PROFILE OBSTRUCTION ON/OFF TRANSLUCENCY

Structural Steel Obstructions are often given LEVELS or TUBE and CENTRELINE settings, which render them invisible. Setting the Representation of OBST On forces the system to override normal LEVEL and TUBE settings and show all of the primitives, regardless of the other settings.

Setting the Representation of INSU On or Off determines whether or not insulation is shown on primitives.

These have the effect of considering all primitives which have an obstruction level greater than zero and all primitives which are affected by insulation parameters. The graphics display is not updated instantly. Use the REPResentation UPDATE command to make any changes visible.

To avoid obscuring the view in colour-shaded mode, obstructions can be shown as translucent, the degree of translucency being controllable.


Examples:
REPR PROF OBST ON
REPR PROF OBST OFF
REPR PROF OBST ON TRANSLUCENCY 25

Command Syntax:

> REPResentation--PROFile--OBSTruction -+- ON - TRANSLucency - value --.

                                        |                              |

                                        ‘- OFF ------------------------+->

Note:

value must be in the range 0‑99: the actual translucency will be set to the nearest of 25, 50, 75 or 87 (99 = transparent; 0 = opaque).
