Specifies all the display aspects that can be applied to the selected interference volume. The available aspects are listed below.
Simple physical
Includes primitive shapes. This aspect creates a less cluttered view of the object, showing only the body of equipment or a simplified cross-section for structure, as shown below.
Detailed physical
Provides a more detailed view of an object. This aspect shows all the graphical details associated with the equipment or structure. For example, certain types of equipment may include legs and lugs. For marine structure, this aspect uses all geometry in the cross-section, as shown below.
Insulation
Shows an area around a piece of equipment indicating the presence of insulation. This aspect is also used to display structural fireproofing insulation. For example, a 4-inch pipe with insulation might look like an 8-inch pipe when this aspect is used.
Operation
Includes the area or space around the object required for operation of the object. This space shows in the model but not in drawings. For example, this aspect leaves enough space around a motor for a person to operate the motor or the overhead space needed for someone to walk up a stairway.
Maintenance
Includes the area or space around the object required to perform maintenance on the object. This space may appear in the model but not in drawings. For example, this aspect leaves enough space around a motor to perform maintenance on a motor, including space to remove the motor.
Reference Geometry
Allows you to construct or add graphical objects that do not participate in interference checking. For example, a reference geometry object could be a spherical control or the obstruction volume for a door. For marine structure, this aspect allows you to control the display of landing curves for design seams, profile systems, reference curves, and knuckle curves.
Centerline
Displays objects as a single line representation. For example, this aspect is useful for when you want to display handrails or structural members as a single-line on drawings. For structure, the centerline is determined from the cardinal point used to place the member. That cardinal point is not always the center of the object.
EndCutType
Displays glyphs for the type of end cut defined for Start Connection and End Connection of stiffener profile systems in Molded Forms.
By Rule
The connection is determined by assembly connection rules defined for Structural Detailing.
No glyph displays.
Welded
Places a welded web and flange cut.
Cutback
Places a web and flange cut that are straight (not snipped) but are cut back from the bounding object.
Clip
Places a welded web and a snipped flange cut.
Snip
Places a snipped web and flange cut.
Lug
Places a specialized welded end cut.
Bracketed
Places a bracket as a child of the assembly connection.
No glyph displays.
Auxiliary Wire
A part wire representation used internally by the software. Do not turn on this aspect unless requested by Hexagon Support.
Auxiliary Solid
A part solid representation used internally by the software. Do not turn on this aspect unless requested by Hexagon Support.
Molded Forms
Displays plate, profile, and beam systems for marine structure.
Equipment Hole
Displays holes for marine structure created by Hole Management.
EndCutType
Displays the connection type as a wireframe geometry in the graphics view. The available end cut types are shown below.
Welded/Lug
Cutback
Clip
Snip
