Space Allocation Parameters


Parameter	Value	Description
Draw	Yes/No	Specifies whether to draw the space reference or not. If Yes, all the space references are drawn. If No, the space references are not drawn. By default, the value is Yes.
GraphicReplacement	Yes/No	Specifies whether to use graphic replacement property or not. If Yes, graphic replacement is used. If No, graphic replacement is not used. By default, the value is Yes.
ViewType		Defines two types of views for the space reference.
ViewType > TopView		Defines the top view projected by vector -Z or +Z.
ViewType > SideView		Defines the side view projected by vector –X, +X, -Y, or +Y.

Notes:

You can add extensions to the SpaceReference node. This enables you to draw the space references with the different graphical settings depending on the assigned extension.
Under the extensions, you can customize any of the above parameters. If there is no definition of the parameters, the default parameters which are defined under SpaceReference node will be used.
You can also define expressions using Enterprise Knowledge Language (EKL), under the SpaceReference node. Similar to the extension node, each expression node has its own graphical settings.
- The name of this node must be Expression(N). The value of N must be in a numerical order and must start from 1.
- The signature for the expression is defined as: (p: #In SPP_SpaceRef) : Boolean.
- The expression value that is the expression body must be of String type.
- The following comparison operators can be used in the expression body:
  Operator Usage in the Expression Body Meaning
  == == Equal to
  <> <> Not equal to
  > > Greater than
  < < Less than
  >= >= Greater than or equal to
  <= <= Less than or equal to
- The logical operators (AND, OR) and the priority operators ('(', ')' ) can be used.
- The following example is for a space reference to which the NAVCabin extension is attached, or whose V_Name is SR1 and V_Volume is greater than 300:
```
<std:node name = "Expression1">
    <std:strval>
        p.IsASortOf("NAVCabin") OR (p.V_Name == "SR1" AND p.GetAttributeReal("V_Volume") &gt; 300)
    </std:strval>
    <std:node name = "ViewType">
        ...
    </std:node>
</std:node>
```
