Visualization Properties

Hide in 3D

Hides element on the sheet (views, geometry, annotations, and so on) in another app (such as Part Design).

In this case, sheet elements are not visible in Show or No Show space.

The hidden element is displayed in the tree with a symbol on the icon.

Important:

This property is independent of the Hide/Show option available in the sheet's context menu, which controls the visualization of the sheet both in 2D and 3D.
The symbol on the icon is usually not applied to the children nodes, which keep their own status, except for aligned/offset section cuts/views and their associated views (in this case, the symbol on the icon is simultaneously applied to all the children nodes).

Background

Display mode

Specifies how the view's 2D and 3D backgrounds should be handled.

Standard

Shows both the 2D and 3D backgrounds.

Invisible

Hides both the 2D background (the 3D representation of 2D elements, which do not belong to the current view, but to other views) and the 3D background (the representation of all 3D elements, including edges, faces and 3D wireframe).

Unpickable

Prevents selecting all elements in both the 2D and 3D backgrounds, even though you can see them.

You can handle the 2D elements, which belong to the current view.

Low-intensified

Dims all elements in both the 2D and 3D backgrounds.

Unpickable low-intensified

Dims all elements in both the 2D and 3D backgrounds.

Additionally, although you can see these elements, you cannot select them.

You can handle the 2D elements in the current view.

For more information, see Managing the Layout View Background.

Activate 2D Visualization mode

Displays only the 2D planar elements that are in the same plane as this view in 3D for the newly created views.

Filter

Name: Applies an existing filter to the view.
For more information, see Creating and Editing View Filters.

3D Grid

Display

Select this check box to display the 3D grid in the work area. If this check box is cleared, the classic grid view is visualized. For more information, see Displaying 3D Grid in a View.

From the list next to the Display check box, select the required Work On Support (WOS).

Notes:

The list displays only the names of WOS 2D, which are parallel to the view plane.
If you select multiple parallel views at the same time, the WOS 2D parallel to them is displayed.
The list directly shows the WOS 3D.
If you select multiple views associated to different WOS 2D, which are part of a single WOS 3D, then that WOS 3D is directly selected.
If you apply a WOS 3D to multiple views, the selected views are associated with the first compatible WOS 2D of the selected WOS 3D.

Label Position

Select the required check boxes from the following to position the labels of the grid: Top, Bottom, Left, or Right.

Reference

You can position the labels with reference to the sheet or view.

Font

You can select the font of the labels of the grid.

Size

You can select the font size of the labels of the grid.

Grid Overrun

You can select the overrun of the grid. This decides the distance at which the grid is going to be placed from the 2D bounding box of the view.

Automatic Grid Size

Select this check box to automatically select the grid size according to the size of the view. If this check box is cleared, the grid size is modified as follows:

For an infinite work on support: Based on the size of the 3D background or the size of the view content.
For a finite work on support: Based on the size of the work on support.

Clipping Frame

Activate: Clips the 3D background of the view using a frame.
For more information, see Using the Clipping Frame.

Clipping Outline

Display: Displays the outline of the clipping view.
For more information, see Using the Clipping View.
Color: Defines a color for the clipping outline.
Line type: Defines a line type for the clipping outline.
Thickness: Defines a line thickness for the clipping outline.

Back-Clipping Plane

Activate: Clips the 3D background of the view using a back-clipping plane.
For more information, see Adding a 3D Clipping.

Multi-plane Section View

Display sub-views in specification tree: When selected the subviews of a section view are displayed in the tree under the main view.
For more information, see Display of Sub-Views in the Tree.

Boundaries

Display all boundaries: When selected the subview boundaries are displayed.
For more information, see Sub-View Boundaries.
Color: Defines a color for the boundaries.
Line type: Defines a line type for the boundaries.
Thickness: Defines a line thickness for the boundaries.
