Coarse/Accurate Presentation
Building components can be presented in a model in two ways:
- Coarse - Individual details of the model are not
visible. The use of the coarse method of presentation speeds up
work, and is thus recommended.
- Accurate - The details of the model, for example
roundings, are visible. Window and door glass is transparent.
If a building component can be presented in both ways, the
method of presentation is selected when the component is added.
Such building components include walls, windows, doors,
furnishings, stairs and railings. You can select the method of
presentation with the functions on the contextual toolbar. The
default method is different for different building components. For
example, walls use the coarse method of presentation by default,
while windows use the accurate method.
- Coarse presentation
- Accurate presentation
You can use the functions in the context-sensitive menu to
change the presentation method of a building component that has
already been added.
- Select one or more building components.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
- Do either of the following:
- Select Presentation > Accurate.
- Select Presentation > Coarse.
Note
- The presentation method of horizontal structures (floors,
ceilings and roofs) in models is changed into a detailed method by
creating an exploded view of the different structural layers.
- The presentation method of the building components can also be
noticed in a visualized model (the Visualization add-on
feature).
- You can also select the method of presentation when adding a
profile, from the dialog box in which you select the profile
properties (included in the Vertex BD Architectural product).
