Special drawing rules - openings, storeys, another PSE and linegrid

2D opening, 2D opening – edge

These two rules have been developed for drawings of openings in 2D members. Rule “2D opening” generates all types of opening in the 2D member and rule “2D opening – edge” controls only openings on the edge of the member so at least one side of the opening matches with a 2D member edge or is even behind the edge.

Rule “2D opening” generates all types of openings (inner and outer) if it has higher priority than rule “2D opening – edge” or if it is the only rule for openings in the drawing rules.

Rule “2D opening – edge” generates only outer openings (openings located on the edge) and it must be placed with higher priority (above “2D opening” rule).

When rule “2D opening – edge” is the only rule for openings it generates only edge opening and the inner openings are displayed without intersects lines. Edges of inner openings are generated according to the rule for 2D members.

Rule “2D opening” and “2D opening – edge” are not part of rules All structure and All 2D members.

Storeys

The rule for storeys generates similar mark for storeys we have in the 3D model. It is placed out of structure. Displaying of complete drawing for the storeys is composed of the rule for lines and the rule for Auto labels.

Drawing rule for Storeys generates horizontal and vertical lines.

The rule for autolabels generates triangle marks for levels and text labels with Z-bottom value from Storey manager:

Plane section entity

The drawing rule for Plane section entity generates a line in the intersection of two Plane section entities. This line can be labelled by name, type or description of drawing style name.

2D linegrid

The 2D linegrid rule generates Free lines, 2D rectangular grids and 2D circular grids. The 2D rectangular and circular grids have also autodimensions and autolabels. The dimension style can be selected and edited in the autodimension properties. Dimensions and labels are not generated during auto-refresh of the drawing view, manual refresh is requested. The colour of autolabels and autodimensions is controlled by Palette settings/Colours&lines/2D labels, Dimension lines. The font for autolabels is controlled by Palette settings/Fonts/2D labels. The font for autodimensions is defined in the dimension style. If the dimension style is not defined in the properties, the size is defined in Palette settings/Fonts/Dimension lines.

Free lines:

2D rectangular grid:

2D circular grid:

The 2D linegrid and its autolabels and autodimnesions are generated only by rule “2D linegrid”.
