Smart 3D Version
13.1

Displays properties for elevation planes. Elevation planes define the elevation, or height, of the grid line with respect to the origin of the coordinate system and are used in both rectangular and radial grid systems. Elevation planes are always parallel to the X-Y plane of the coordinate system.

The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.

Approval State

Specifies the status of the selected object or filter. Changing this property sets the Status. The display depends on your access level. You might be unable to change the status of the object. The list is defined by the ApprovalStatus codelist.

Smart 3Dx saves an object to the database when you change that object's status. Use Undo (CTRL + Z) to reverse the status change.

You can only edit or manipulate an object with a status of Working.

Class

Displays the object class defined by the software.

Coordinate System

Displays the name of coordinate system to which the elevation plane belongs. You cannot edit this value.

Created by

Specifies the name of the person who created the object.

Date Created

Specifies the creation date of the object.

Date Last Modified

Specifies the date of the last modification to the object.

Drawing Style 1

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

SHARED Tip 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.

SHARED Tip 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.

Global Position

Displays the location of the elevation plane relative to the global coordinate system origin.

Last Modified by

Specifies the name of the person who last modified the object.

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 3Dx 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.

SP3D_SHOW_hierarchy_CreateGridElevate

Parent System

Displays the name of the axis to which the plane belongs. You cannot edit this value.

Permission Group

Specifies the permission group to which the object belongs. You can select another permission group, if required. Permission groups are created in Project Management.

Position

Specifies the intersection point of the object to the axis. Use the East, North, and Elevation properties to change the position.

Spacing

Specifies the spacing between planes for a project to monitor the relative location of these planes. The first plane is always set to 0.00 and cannot be edited. For each subsequent plane, the Spacing value is its relative distance from the previous plane. This is a read-only value when creating a new coordinate system but can be modified in an existing coordinate system.

If you edit the Spacing value of an existing plane, the plane shifts to the new location as required. In addition, the remaining planes along that axis will also re-locate relative to the new location of the edited plane to maintain their existing Spacing values.

Status

Specifies the location of the object in the workflow process. Changing the Approval State sets this property. The list is controlled by the ApprovalReason codelist in the ApprovalReason.xls file. You must bulkload this file.

Type

Specifies the type of elevation plane, such as top-of- steel. The elevation plane types are defined in the reference data.
