Global Properties
- Shown
- Shows the geometrical element.
- Pickable
- Makes the geometrical elements selectable. If this check box is cleared, the geometry is not selectable anymore.Note: When you create elements using the no pick mode (that is, Pickable check box is not selected), you can make some of them pickable again. Press Ctrl + F to open the Find dialog box and search for the elements to be modified.
You can make all the elements in a view pickable again. Right-click the view fame and select xxx object > Force Pick Mode.
- Low intensity
- Display the selected geometrical element using a lower intensity.
- Layers
- Adds a layer to the selected geometry.
You can inherit the layers from a 3D geometry into a drawing sheet.
Important: - In the Standard Definition dialog box, select the Drafting node. Under ViewDressup > 3DInheritance node, from the Layer list for each of the feature (Wireframe, Solid, and 3DPoints), select Yes to inherit the layers of a 3D geometry into a drawing (available through Me
> Preferences category). - The 2D view must be created using the generative view styles.
See Using Layers.
- In the Standard Definition dialog box, select the Drafting node. Under ViewDressup > 3DInheritance node, from the Layer list for each of the feature (Wireframe, Solid, and 3DPoints), select Yes to inherit the layers of a 3D geometry into a drawing (available through Me
- Rendering style
Defines the rendering style (Transparent, Wireframe, Shading, or Shading with edges) you want to apply to the selected element, provided that this element supports rendering styles.
See Editing Graphic Properties.
Important: In some cases, changing the color of an element provides unexpected results, as the color of related elements is changed as well. For example, if you change the color of a table frame, the font color of the table also changes. In this case, a workaround is to change the Font Properties after having edited the graphic properties.
