Orientation (Override)

Select a value if you want to override the computed view orientation (Orientation condition of the Custom Test)

(None) - No override

Treat as Target - irrespective of the computed direction

Treat as Non-Target - irrespective of the computed direction

If the plate is a shell plate, always select "Treat as Non-Target" to draw the cross-section of the plate.

  1. When a plate orientation is overridden, all profiles and seams on the plate are drawn based on the plate's new orientation.

  2. A knuckled plate, because of its natural non-orthogonal orientation, is frequently given an Orientation of Non-Target, even when selected as part of the query as Level 0. In this case, an Orientation (Override) of Treat as Target should be selected.

In automated views, the CollationForSteelOrder rule separates flat, curved, and knuckled plates into separate drawing views. The view for each knuckled or curved plate projects the view along the closest major axis of the global coordinate system. For manual views, flat, curved, and knuckled plates can be selected for a single view. In this case, you must choose the coordinate system and view direction as part of the orientation rule.
