  • All aspects are selected by default after creating a new project database.

  • All geometry published by Smart 3D is placed in an aspect, including MicroStation data imported into Smart 3D.

  • You can select any combination of aspects on the Aspects Tab (View Settings Dialog Box). If you do not select an aspect, then nothing is displayed in the view windows. Aspect display is the same for all views: Main, Plan, or Elevation.

    Aspect selection does not override elements hidden due to the current level or display set settings.

  • The current aspect selections are saved to the project database when you close the project or click File > Save. The saved aspect settings are recalled when the project is re-opened.

  • You can undo and redo changes in the aspect selections using the Edit > Undo and Edit > Redo commands.

  • Only the visible elements of the currently selected aspects can be located and/or highlighted. Aspects are component elements of complex elements. Use the Motion > Mouse Drag Modes > Auto-Highlight Elements option to locate a specific component element in the graphic object's aspect.

  • Surface and snaplock measurement can be taken with any located visible aspect component element. The "shortest distance between two objects" measurement cannot be taken between two component elements of the same object. However, the command does measure only between the displayed aspects of two selected objects.

  • Collision detection tests only those elements of the currently selected aspects.

    The collision detection Use Hidden elements option does not apply to aspects. If an aspect is not selected, its elements are not used for collision detection, even if this option is enabled. This option applies only when an element is hidden by level settings or display set settings.

  • Raytracing renders only the visible elements of the currently selected aspects.

  • Display set resolution is not affected by the current aspect selections. There is no display set definition support for querying for elements of a specific aspect.

  • No aspect-specific information is given for the object data in the Text view for selected elements of an object.

  • Saved views, such as those in the View > Save and Recall command do not support saving or recalling aspect selections.

  • The Edit > Find Object command returns objects based on display set definitions, not based on any current aspect or object visibility settings. Turning aspects on/off does not change the Find Object behavior.

  • All Fit commands honor the total range of all aspects for a graphic object. Turning aspects on or off does not change Fit behaviors.

  • The rendering of the Insulation aspect geometry is simplified in shaded model views when it is transparent by removing geometry end caps and back faces.
