Space Referential Parameters

Space Referential parameters specify how Space Referential components should be projected in the Drawing view.

Space Referential parameters can be customized in the Standard Definition dialog box which appears when you select Me > Preferences > Standards. After selecting the generativeparameters category, you can then select the XML file you want to customize. Space Referential parameters are located in the Reference Plane System node of this XML file.

For the sample files, see 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps Content Reference Guide: Space Referential.

Important:
  • You can customize the ViewType node by adding extensions that are associated to the faces of the bounding box.
  • The parameter values are retrieved from the reference plane system assigned in the Data Setup. The name of the each bounding box face is displayed in the GVS Editor instead of the internal name of the face.
  • Only the reference plane system that is assigned to the Common Geometry Reference resource is considered for the customization.
