Editing an auto hybrid object

The properties and 2D appearance of an auto hybrid object can be edited from the Object Info palette. You cannot edit the 3D geometry contained in the auto hybrid geometry directly; use the Edit Auto Hybrid command to edit the geometry.

To edit an auto hybrid object:

Select the auto hybrid object and then select the command.

Alternatively, double-click the auto hybrid object.

The item displays in object editing mode (see Object editing mode).

Reshape the geometry, change the attributes, and perform solid operations as needed.

Exit object editing mode to return to regular drawing mode and update the auto hybrid.

On the Object Info palette, the elevation of the cut plane can be easily changed, and the auto hybrid can be set to display in 2D views only, or in both 2D and 3D views. Only auto hybrids with 3D geometry are exported to IFC.
