Modifying a View from a Profile

You can modify a view created from a profile by modifying its profile. You can also replace the section profile of a multi-plane section view, or modify the profile's view 3D plane.

The multi-plane section view needs an update when you perform such modifications.

For this scenario, we will modify a multi-plane offset section view.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin:
  • Create a multi-plane section view.

Modify the Profile

You can modify a part of a section profile and change the multi-plane section view accordingly.

  1. Double-click the profile to be modified.

    On the context toolbar, select one of the following:

    • Replace Profile
    • Reverse View Direction
    • Manipulation in one direction according to the callout
    • Manipulation in two directions according to the callout
  2. Perform the modifications on the callout geometry.

    Note: The manipulations available in the context toolbar depend on the type of callout.

  3. Once the modification is completed, click anywhere in the work area.
    The modification is applied to view.

Replace the Section Profile

You can create new section profile and replace it with existing profile and modify the multi-plane section view accordingly.

  1. Double-click the callout in the profile view.
    The context toolbar appears at the position where you clicked the callout.
  2. Click Replace Profile in the context toolbar or right-click the multi-plane section view in the tree and select X-X object > Replace Profile.
    This activates the reference view and reframes on it.

    The reference view contains the callout representation of the 2D layout modifiable section. If there are several views, the first view/section of the current sheet is chosen, then the first view/section of the sheet which contains the 2D layout modifiable section selected or then another view/section.

  3. Sketch the section profile.
    The callout representation of the previous profile remains visible while sketching the new profile.
  4. Click in the sheet.
    The new profile is created, which replaces the earlier profile and the 2D layout modifiable section and the callout representation(s) are updated.

Edit Callouts

You can edit a callout by double-clicking on the callout representation or by selecting the Definition from its context menu.

Notes:
  • You can only edit the projection or section callouts by modifying the location of callout extremities. However, you cannot edit the multi-plane section callouts. Because, such callouts are created from a 2D profile and their extent is explicitly specified through this 2D profile.
  • You cannot edit a callout text's string, as its purpose is to reflect the resulting view identifier.

  1. Double-click the callout to change it to edition mode.

    On the context toolbar, select one of the following:

    • Manipulation in one direction according to the callout: Modifies the callout extremities only along the callout direction.
    • Manipulation in two directions according to the callout: Modifies the callout extremities and moves the callout in both the directions.

    Note: In case of perpendicular callouts, only Manipulation in one direction according to the callout is available.

    White handles appear.



    Yellow handles appear.

  2. Drag the handles to the required position.
    Tip: In case of Manipulation in one direction according to the callout , press the Ctrl key to move the second callout extremity simultaneously. The second callout extremity moves in the opposite direction.
    Important:
    • You can move the extremities only along the callout's support. However, you cannot modify the callout's support itself, as it's just a representation of a view's specifications.
    • You cannot move a callout extremity beyond the other extremity. In this case, the other extremity also moves (both extremities are coincident).
  3. Click in the layout to validate.
