DesignSeries00048.pngDisplaying 3D Objects by Class in Section Viewports

The display and pen attributes can be defined for 3D objects by class to override the section viewport’s settings for objects/hidden objects before and beyond the cut plane. These settings by class apply only to the current viewport and do not affect the appearance of the model itself or of other viewports in the drawing.

To control 3D objects’ display and pen attributes by class:

  1. In the Create Section Viewport/Create Horizontal Section Viewport dialog box or in the Object Info palette or Properties dialog box of a selected viewport, click to display the extents on the desired side of the cut plane.

  2. Click the appropriate Object Display or Hidden Object Display button.

  3. Hidden object display settings prescribe how objects that are obstructed by other objects display in the viewport.

    The Object/Hidden Object Display by Class dialog box opens.

  4. Select one or more classes to assign the same display and attributes settings, and do one of the following:

If there are many classes in the file, use the filter capability to locate the needed classes.

        To set the attributes directly, click Edit, or double-click the selected classes, and set the parameters in the Object/Hidden Object Display dialog box.

        To import class attributes from another viewport in the file, click Import, and select the viewport.

The settings are applied to the selected classes.
