Smart 3D Version
12.1 (2019)

Sets the general properties of the selected grid plane.

Standard

Coordinate System

Specifies the name of the coordinate system associated with the object.

Naming Rule

Displays the available name rules for the selected object. Specify the naming rule to use to name the object. You can select one of the listed rules, or you can select User Defined to specify a custom name in the (Name) box.

Name

Specifies the name of the selected object. If the name is too long to entirely display in the box, point to the box to display the complete name as a tool tip. If the name is not defined by a rule, User Defined displays. If this name is generated by a naming rule, Naming Rule displays. If you type a name in this box, Smart 3D automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.

Nesting Level

Specifies the nesting level for the object plane. You can select Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary. Between two adjacent planes, a difference of only one level is allowed. Therefore, secondary planes are only allowed between two primary planes. Similarly, tertiary planes are only allowed between two secondary planes. The list is defined by the NestingLevelType codelist.

Axis of Placement

Specifies the object as a radial grid plane R or a cylinder C.

Type

Specifies the type of grid plane. Examples of grid plane types are: E-W Grid Plane, N-S Grid Plane, and Expansion Joint Plane. Examples of Ship plane types are as follows: MidShip or Centerline. You can define grid plane types in the reference data.

Offset

Specifies the offset value for the landing curve from the base curve. This option is only available for radial arcs.

Radial Angle

Specifies the position of the radial plane in degrees with respect to x-axis. This option is only available for radial grid lines.

Start Extension

Specifies the distance that the grid line for this plane extends beyond the intersecting start grid-plane. Extend grid lines when you are working in congested or confined model areas to select the grid plane more easily. This option is only available for radial grid lines.

End Extension

Specifies the distance that the grid line for this plane extends beyond the intersecting end grid-plane. Extend grid lines when you are working in congested or confined model areas to select the grid plane more easily. This option is only available for radial grid lines.

Drawing Style

You can use the Drawing Style property to suppress or include user-selected grid entities in a drawing document. When you create a drawing view style in the Drawings and Reports task, you can specify a filter that looks for the Drawing Style and uses that property to specify how the grid entities are symbolized in the drawing document.

Drawing Style 1

Specifies the drawing style in which grid entities display in your drawings.

You can add your own custom drawing styles by adding them to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsDrawingStyleIntf.xls. You must also add the property values to the codelist defined in [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsCodelist.xls. The modified workbooks must to be bulkloaded for the changes to display.

Drawing styles for grid entities are not available for hanger drawings.

Drawing Style 2

Specifies the second drawing style in which grid entities display in your drawings.

You can add your own custom drawing styles by adding them to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsDrawingStyleIntf.xls. You must also add the property values to the codelist defined in [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsCodelist.xls. The modified workbooks must to be bulkloaded for the changes to display.

Drawing styles for grid entities are not available for hanger drawings.
