Grids naming rules - Intergraph Smart 3D - Update 1 - Help - Hexagon

The software provides several options for naming the elevation planes, grid planes, radial cylinders, and radial planes.

Index

The Index Net name rule uses the position of the plane relative to the other planes to assign the name. The first plane is given the name 1, the second plane 2, the third plane 3, and so forth. The secondary planes are suffixed with an additional decimal indication of the sequential order, and so forth for tertiary planes.

Position

The Position Net name rule uses the physical position of the plane for the name of the plane. The position is relative to the origin of the coordinate system to which the plane belongs. The position is always displayed in meters, regardless of the session working units.

Imperial Position

The Imperial Position Net name rule uses the physical position of the plane for the name of the plane. The position is relative to the origin of the coordinate system to which the plane belongs. The position is always displayed in feet and inches, regardless of the session working units.

Global Position

The Global Position Net name rule uses the physical position of the plane for the name of the plane. The position is relative to the origin of the global coordinate system. The position is always displayed in meters, regardless of the session working units.

Imperial Global Position

The Imperial Global Position Net name rule uses the physical position of the plane for the name of the plane. The position is relative to the origin of the global coordinate system. The position is always displayed in feet and inches, regardless of the session working units.

Index and Percent

The Index and Percent Net name rule uses the position of the plane relative to the other planes to assign the name. The first primary plane is given the name 1, the second primary plane 2, the third primary plane 3, and so forth. The secondary planes are suffixed to the primary plane with a decimal indicator. The number to the right of the decimal indicator is the relative position between the previous primary plane and the next primary plane, expressed as a percentage. For example, if the secondary plane is directly between the two primary planes, .5 is the suffix. The locations of the tertiary plane are suffixed to the secondary plane location using the same method.

Alphanumeric and Percent

The Alphanumeric and Percent Net name rule uses the position of the plane relative to the other planes to assign the name. The first primary plane is given the name 1 or A, the second primary plane 2 or B, the third primary plane 3 or C, and so forth. The secondary planes are suffixed to the primary plane with a decimal indicator. The number to the right of the decimal indicator is the relative position between the previous primary plane and the next primary plane, expressed as a percentage. For example, if the secondary plane is directly between the two primary planes, .5 is the suffix. The locations of the tertiary plane are suffixed to the secondary plane location using the same method.
