Drawing Properties of Layer Geometry
The geometry of floor and ceiling layers in a drawing consists of lines, hatches and color fills. In a model, the geometry consists of lines and surfaces.
You can select following properties for a line, hatch, line fill or color fill:
- Type - You can select this property for a color fill or hatch. Select the type (cross hatch, point mesh, color fill etc.) from the list.
- Line font - Select the line font (continuous, dash line, dot-and-dash line etc.) for a line or line fill from the list.
- Pen - Select the pen width for a line or hatch from the list. The line width can be seen in a printed drawing.
- Scale - This property affects a hatch and all the other line fonts
except the continuous line. The property can be either absolute or relative:
- A positive value means an absolute (fixed) scale.
- A negative value means a relative scale.
The effect of the property depends on the drawing scale. If the scale is an absolute scale and the drawing scale is 1:1, changing the drawing scale to 1:10 shows the effect of the scale property on a line or hatch as tenfold. A relative value of the scale property is the corresponding value in millimeters in a drawing. When the drawing scale is changed, a line or hatch is scaled in relation to the drawing scale.
- Level - Select the layer on which a line, hatch or color fill is added. The visibility of the geometry in a floor plan can be restricted using layer selections.
- Color - Select a line's color from the list, or select the list's
alternative More. A color palette is opened for you to select an
appropriate Pen color. The colors shown on the color palette are defined in the settings.
Selecting a Pen Color from a
PaletteIn addition, you can select any RGB color for a hatch or color fill by using the list's alternative RGB.
