Sets options for the surface styles and aspects used in 3D Model Data. This tab is only available when you are looking at the properties for a 3D Model Data document.

You can perform the following operations on this tab:

  • Select an existing surface style rule from the library and add it to the workspace.

  • Modify an existing surface style rule in the library and add it to the workspace.

  • Create a new surface style rule and add it to the library and the workspace.

  • Delete a surface style rule from the library or the workspace.

  • Rearrange the style rules in the workspace box of the Surface Style Rule Properties Dialog by using the Move Up and Move Down commands.

  • Import surface styles from the session file.

  • Set the aspects for the 3D Model Data.

Surface style rules

Style rule library

Specifies the current surface style rules in the Site database.

Selected rules

Specifies all the names for the surface style rules currently assigned to the workspace.

Add

Adds the selected surface style rule to the workspace.

Remove

Removes a selected surface style rule from the workspace. To remove a surface style from the workspace, select the style in the Workspace list and click Remove.

Move Up

Moves the selected style rule up one step in the Workspace list.

Move Down

Moves the selected style rule down one step in the Workspace list.

New

Activates the Surface Style Rule Properties Dialog on which you can create a new surface style rule and add it to the database. This button is available only if you have write permission to the surface style rules.

Modify

Activates the Surface Style Rule Properties Dialog to modify an existing surface style rule and add it to the database.

Copy

Creates a copy of the selected rule on the Clipboard. You use Copy to create a copy of a surface style rule in the Model database so you can modify the rule rather than create a new one.

If you try to copy a style rule associated with a deleted filter, the style cannot be copied. A message box displays.

Paste

Pastes the copied rule from the Clipboard so it can be modified.

Delete

Removes the selected Surface Style Rule from the database.

Apply

Applies changes in surface style rules to the workspace.

Double-clicking a surface style rule also activates the Surface Style Rule Properties Dialog on which you can create or modify a surface style rule if you have permission.

Import from Session

Imports session surface style rules for the selected 3D Model Data component.

Aspects

Select Aspects

Opens the Select Aspects Dialog so you can specify the aspects to use for the 3D Model Data component.

When publishing 3D Model Data documents, the Simple Physical aspect is used by default if no other aspects are specified.

When exporting to a CAD (.sat) file, the software only supports the Simple Physical aspect.
