Detail Style-2D Display - Views tab

SettingDescription
Basic View The overview is displayed as standard 2D-depiction where all hidden edges are correctly determined.
Anchor Plan An anchor plan with alternatively two different scales is generated. Display of the base plates can thus be depicted in an enlarged display.
Details Sc 1 Here, you enter the scale of base plate details in the anchor plan. However, an anchor plan can only be generated if you have linked the view “Anchor Plan” in the component parts list with this style setting.
With Columns In addition to the anchor details, the columns are also displayed as cross-section.
Columns As Object The columns in the anchor plan are displayed as intelligent 2D-Objects.
Insert Edge Here, you specify the distance the beginning of the sketch drawing has to have from the insertion point of the shape. If you indicated a relative length smaller than 100%, this is also the beginning of the center line.
Relative Length Here, you specify the length of the sketch drawing as relative value related to the shape length. The rest will only be displayed as center line. 
Use references The parts added to the model via references are displayed and dimensioned as well. The above mentioned display filters are also valid for these component parts.
Parts as Objects Parts are treated as objects in the view.
2D grouping per object Enables selectable 2D output as grouped objects.
Workframe Boundary Sets effect of workframe boundary rectangle.
  • Not Used – Applies no effect. The generated view is not put into x/y plane (z=0), but it is aligned and placed in the same way like in the model.

    This permits the insertion as overlapping in an already existing 3D-model (e.g. for facilities construction). The option is not available when the view output is scaled.

  • Objects Only inside – Only those parts are taken into consideration which are situated completely or at least up to their half within the work frame. Thus you can make a special selection out of the area – otherwise, all parts are shown which are situated on the level of the work frame (i.e. in the way you would see them in reality.
  • Clip 2D – Objects get clipped within 2D detail on edges of workframe boundary used in 3D model.
From Workrame The view depths assigned to the work frames are used for views.
Override The view depths specified in this dialog are used for views.
Front/Back Enter the view depths Front and Back, which have to be used for the views.
Advanced view depth Provides an extended view depth for the purpose of identifying bracings (where these are controlled via a separate structural element). See also “View depth” in this chapter. If the structural element is located within this area, all parts it contains will be affected provided that at least one part falls within the normal view depth.
Front/Back Used to specify the visual depths Front and Back to be used for the extended view depth.
Max. Distance Enter the maximum distance another work frame is allowed to be removed from the current view to be interpreted there as construction axis for axis display and dimensioning.
View Offset

Enter a displacement the plane used for the view has to have from the actual work frame (in view direction).

If the view plane doesn’t have to be exactly in the work frame plane, this will save you an additional view.

Concrete reinforcement Here you specify which reinforcement objects are to be represented in the view if a component contains reinforcing objects.
  • Do not display – no reinforcement is used.
  • Entire object –all reinforcement objects of the component are used, even if these already are outside of the field of vision.
  • Use view depth – only those reinforcement objects of a component are used which are also within the field of view.
Note: This only pertains to a preselection which you can additionally limit. Further details are found in ‘ProConcrete`.
Symbol dimensions If you use the ‘Single Line’ part display mode, specific object groups can be displayed in the form of symbols. See also under “Displaying as symbols” in the “Displaying parts” chapter.
Symbol size The size of the symbol for moment connections. (A)
Extents The maximum extension for symbols for bracings, where symbol type ‘A’ has been selected. (B)
Length/Gap The line length for symbols for bracings. Negative values determine the spacing between two symbol lines. (C)
Offset horizontal The inward horizontal offset when bracings are displayed as symbols. (D)
Offset vertical The outward vertical offset when bracings are displayed as symbols. (E)

The dimensions given for bracings always pertain to the insertion lines of the structural element (at bracing level), so bracings located off-center are displaced accordingly in the display.
