Graphic Replacement for Openings

This task explains how to generate graphic replacement for openings.
 

The sample XML file provided with this application is Structure_GVS.xml.

This file is located in ../OS/resources/standard/generativeparameters.

Customizing parameters in this file affects the appearance of your drawings and is an administrator task.

The reference planes that will be used for a given project are defined in an XML file pointed by a PRM resource:

ProjectReferencePlanes.

For more information, see Project Reference Planes.

Appropriate application licenses including one for Generative Drafting are required.
For information on how to create views using generative view styles, how to set view style parameters or more generally on administering generative view styles, see the Generative Drafting User's Guide.
 

For graphic replacement for reference plane systems, see Graphic Replacement for Reference Plane Systems.

In the sample XML file, generative view style parameters for openings are located towards the bottom of the file under StructureObjects.

  ViewType

There are two view types for openings: SideView and AnyView.

If the Opening geometry is planar (or is lying on plane P), and if the projection vector of the view is also lying on plane P, then it is SideView. In all other cases, it is AnyView.

See SideView information and AnyView information.
