The Presentation of the Cross Section of a Part in a View

You can set the method of presentation of the cross section of a part in the panel drawing view to either hatch or cross. The part can be a joist in a floor or roof panel or a stud in a wall panel. Set the method of presentation in the PROFPROP file in the profile library. The customer-specific profile libraries are located in the ../custom/proflibrary folder. The profile libraries provided by the software supplier are located in the ../system/proflibrary folder. Make a backup copy of the PROFPROP file before editing it.

• Cross

  The method of presentation of the cross section is cross if the PROFPROP file contains the following rows:

  geomprop= SECT.FIG CROSS
  geomprop= SECT.FPROP PIECE.SECT
  !geomprop= SECT.PROP PIECE.WD

  

  The drawing properties of the cross are defined in the system's line settings with the line name PIECE.SECT.

  Please note that presentation as hatch is disabled by adding a comment mark (exclamation mark) as the first character in the row "geomprop= SECT.PROP PIECE.WD".

• Hatch

  The presentation of the cross section is hatch, if the PROFPROP file contains the following rows:

  !geomprop= SECT.FIG CROSS
  geomprop= SECT.PROP PIECE.WD

  

  The drawing properties of the hatch are defined in the system's hatch settings with the hatch name PIECE.WD. The default is hatch.

  Please note that presentation as cross is disabled by adding a comment mark (exclamation mark) as the first character in the row "geomprop= geomprop= SECT.FIG CROSS".

Note

• The method of presentation of existing parts remains unchanged. To update the new method of presentation for existing panels, delete the existing parts, add them again and generate or update the panel drawings.
• The program does not need to be restarted for the changes to apply.
