Setting Drawing Level Representation
Keywords:
REPRESENTATION LEVEL
Description:
This command enables individual drawing levels to be specified for the display of piping, nozzles, structural elements and other design database elements.
Every basic primitive shape in the design has an associated drawing level range attribute (for piping and structural steelwork components, these are stored in the Catalogue). If the specified drawing level coincides with this range, the 3D object will be drawn when it is added to the Draw List.
The practical effect of this facility is that it allows the user to minimise visible detail when representing Design items. For example, at drawing level 3 steelwork may be represented as single line only, whereas at level 1 the full detail may be visible. Level 3 may well be adequate for design purposes.
LEVEL manipulation is not instantly updated on the screen. To see the effects of a level change, use the REPResentation UPDATE command to make any changes visible.
Examples:
REPR LEVEL PIPE 5
Sets piping level to 5. All pipes which are added after this command will be drawn at level 5. Those already in the view will remain unchanged.
REPR LEVEL NOZZ 1
Sets Nozzle level to 1
REPR LEVEL 2
Set level for all other Component types to 2
