AlanW Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 In Advanced section properties you can have separate fills for each type Structural and non-structural ie, Building and furniture. Where is each component defined? or is it by default and can you change the definition of each item say furniture make it structural???? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Hans-Olav Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Hi Alan I believe it is the "Merge with Structural Objects in sections" Check box that controls this Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Yes, Hans-Olav is correct. It is also pretty well described in the VW Help. Search for Advanced Section Viewport Properties an excerpt: Quote Certain 3D objects can be designated as structural, allowing their appearance to merge with other structural objects on the section plane. Merged objects display as a single unit with one continuous fill. The following objects can be designated as structural by selecting Merge with Structural Objects in Sections from the Object Info palette. ● CSG solids (add/subtract/intersect/section) ● Deforms (generic solid) ● Extrudes ● Multiple extrudes ● Extrude along paths ● Chain extrudes ● Tapered extrudes ● Cylinders (extrude) ● Extruded rectangles (extrude) ● Extruded polygons (mesh) ● Meshes ● Subdivisions ● Solids (sphere/cone/hemisphere) ● Sweeps ● Stair structures (top face, bottom face, front face, inside/outside) ● NURBS surfaces Quote Link to comment
markdd Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I suppose the question is: what is a structural object? Quote Link to comment
