| Preview
|
Displays a 3D preview of the active section
definition including it's placement point and member line. You can change the
view rotation and the rendering mode using the drop down toolbars in the top
left corner of the preview panel.
Tip: If
you do not see the member line (yellow by default), try changing the display to
wireframe.

| Available Sections
|
Lists sections defined in the project dgnlib or
active dgn by category. A right click menu provides options to
Delete or
Rename selected sections.
Note: A section may
be deleted only if it is not referenced by another object in the model.
Sections are checked both for references by
IsmCurveMembers as well as references
from
"compound" sections such as a varying sections
or built up sections. If a section has references,
Delete is disabled. Renaming is permitted
even if a section is in use since the name is a cosmetic property. The
relationships are based on the EC instances so the name is not used.

| Parametric Shape Kind
|
Used to select a section type as a starting point to
creating the parametric section. Selecting a shape, for instance an
I shape, adds dimension properties specific
to the
I shape such as
Flange Width,
Flange Thickness and
Web Thickness.
|
| Dimension Properties
|
Used to define the dimensions of the parametric
section. Dimension properties vary depending upon which section shape is
active.
|
| Short ID
|
Used to enter a representative identifier text string
to be used in flyover information for objects placed referencing the parametric
section.
|
| id
|
Displays the full object id of the parametric
section.
|
| Name
|
Used to enter a name to be used for the parametric
section in all
OpenPlant Modeler
interfaces which could reference the parametric section.
|
| Shape
|
Displays the section in xml format. This field is
read only.
|
| Syncid
|
Displays the ISM synchronization id to be used for
the parametric section. This field is read only.
|
Used to create sections
parametrically by selecting a section type (I-shape, L-shape, C-shape) and
populating dimension properties.
