Structural View

Default Primary Object Angular Tolerance

Specify the default angular tolerance of the primary object for structural view creation.

Angular tolerance with the view plane to consider during computation of primary object list.

If a structural box is defined, all the intersected panels within the box are considered as primary object, else all the panels that have the same support of the view plane with angular tolerance are considered as primary object.

By default, the value is 15.0.

Use same tolerance for secondary object

Select this check box to use the same primary object tolerance for the secondary object.

By default, this check box is selected.

Default Secondary Object Angular Tolerance

Specify the default angular tolerance of the secondary object for structural view creation.

Secondary Object orthogonal angle with primary object is considered for representation of the secondary object.

This option is available only when the Use same tolerance for secondary object check box is cleared.

By default, the value is 0.0.

Default Secondary Object Representation

Structure Panel

By default, this check box is selected.

Smart annotations for which last update failed

Specify a color for the annotations if the update is failed.

This option is available only when the Allow Diagnostics for Smart Annotations check box is selected.
