Create Volume Options

Volume Creation Rule

Defines the volume for the view by one of the following methods:

Create volume along surface of input parts with boundary extents

The volume follows the surfaces of the selected parts resulting from Any system, part, or reference plane. The volume depth (normal to the view) is extended by the values of Volume growth into drawing and Volume growth out of drawing. The volume area (in the plane of the view) is extended to (or clipped by) the boundaries defined by Boundary (Block, volume, or assembly). The gathering range is extended by the values defined by Extend Into and Extend Out Of.

Example: Corrugated bulkhead

Create volume along surface of input parts with boundary extents EXAMPLE

1 - Cross-section of volume

2 - Volume growth

3 - Extended gathering range

4 - Volume extended to boundaries

5 - View direction

6 - Additional part gathered into view

7 - Additional part not gathered into view

Create volume along surface of input parts without boundary extents

The volume follows the surfaces of the selected parts resulting from Any system, part, or reference plane. The volume depth (normal to the view) is extended by the values of Volume growth into drawing and Volume growth out of drawing. The volume area (in the plane of the view) is not extended to (nor clipped by) the boundaries defined by Boundary (Block, volume, or assembly). The gathering range is extended by the values defined by Extend Into and Extend Out Of.

Example: Corrugated bulkhead

Create volume along surface of input parts without boundary extents EXAMPLE

1 - Cross-section of volume

2 - Volume growth

3 - Extended gathering range

4 - View direction

5 - Additional part gathered into view

6 - Additional part not gathered into view

Create volume from range box around input parts with boundary extents

The volume is a rectangular range box around the selected parts resulting from Any system, part, or reference plane. The volume depth (normal to the view) is extended by the values of Volume growth into drawing and Volume growth out of drawing. The volume is extended to (or clipped by) the boundaries defined by Boundary (Block, volume, or assembly). See the corrugated bulkhead example below.

Example: Corrugated bulkhead

1 - Cross-section of volume

2 - Volume growth

3 - Additional part gathered into view

4 - View direction

5 - Volume extended to boundaries

Create volume from range box around input parts without boundary extents

The volume is a rectangular range box around the selected parts resulting from Any system, part, or reference plane. The volume depth (normal to the view) is extended by the values of Volume growth into drawing and Volume growth out of drawing. The volume is not extended to (nor clipped by) the boundaries defined by Boundary (Block, volume, or assembly). See the corrugated bulkhead example below.

Example: Corrugated bulkhead

Example: Non-orthogonal member

1 - Cross-section of volume

2 - Volume growth

3 - Additional part gathered into view

4 - View direction

Create oriented volume around input parts without boundary extents

The volume is a rectangular box around the parts. The box is oriented around parts to minimize the volume. The parts are typically not orthogonal, but the view direction is typically normal to the box. The volume depth (normal to the view) is extended by the values of Volume growth into drawing and Volume growth out of drawing.

  • If the view direction is not normal to the box, then the volume is extended to (or clipped by) the boundaries defined by Boundary (Block, volume, or assembly) instead of Volume growth into drawing and Volume growth out of drawing.

  • If the view direction is normal to the box, then the volume is extended to (or clipped by) Volume growth into drawing and Volume growth out of drawing. These values can be positive or negative.

Example: Non-orthogonal member

1 - Cross-section of volume

2 - Volume growth

3 - Additional part gathered into view

4 - View direction

Do not create volume

A volume is not used to restrict gathering using gathering rule. For example, a shell longitudinal profile view does not use a volume. It instead uses levels to gather secondary parts.

Depth Into

Defines a distance into the drawing to extend the depth of a thin volume. Parts within the thin volume are displayed in the view. A value for this query is optional.

Depth Out Of

Defines a distance out of the drawing to extend the depth of a thin volume. Parts within the thin volume are displayed in the view. A value for this query is optional.

1 - View plane

2 - View direction

3 - Out of drawing

4 - Into drawing

Boundary Overlap

Specifies the distance that parts extend past the view boundary.

Offset

Specifies the distance from a reference plane used to create the view plane. A positive value offsets the view plane out of the drawing. A negative value offsets the view plane into the drawing. This value can be used in combination with Volume growth into drawing and Volume growth out of drawing to create a thin volume. A value for this query is optional.

1 - Reference plane

2 - View direction

3 - Offset out of drawing (positive value)

4 - Offset into drawing (negative value)

5 - View plane offset out of drawing

6 - View plane offset into drawing

Extend Into

Specifies the distance that the gathering range box extends into the drawing. You can display parts that are outside of the thin volume and in the extended gathering range box. A value for this query is optional.

Extend Out Of

Specifies the distance that the gathering range box extends out of the drawing. You can display parts that are outside of the thin volume and in the extended gathering range box. A value for this query is optional.

Clip to Volume

Clips part visibility in the graphic view to the boundaries of the volume.

Gather Objects Options

Gathering Rule

Specifies the type of parts gathered in the drawing view. The rule provides a definition of the objects to be gathered and drawn in a view. Select a rule that supports the type of drawing view you want to create.

Steel Order Drawings Gathering Rules

Assembly

Gathers objects in an assembly for assembly drawings. This is the default value in the software.

Pipe Supports

Gathers pipe supports and their connected parts for pipe support drawings.

Piping

Gathers pipelines and their components for piping drawings.

Steel Order - RefPlane - Preview

Gathers target plates on a reference plane for the preview of steel order drawings.

Steel Order

Gathers plate, profile and member parts by object type for steel order drawings. Adds other objects, such as seams and openings, based on their relationships.

Volume

An empty gathering rule for pure volume drawings. The software gathers all the objects through the range of the volume input. With this gathering rule, some custom tests might not work because all the objects are gathered through range without considering object relations.

Generic Drawings Gathering Rules

Assembly

Gathers objects in an assembly for assembly drawings. This gathering rule is used for generic assembly drawings that use the Assembly (Generic) view style.

Hull Lines

Gathers the plate and profile systems connected to input hulls. Also gathers seams and reference curves connected to the hull. This gathering rule is used in Generic Hull Lines view styles.

Pipe Supports

Gathers pipe supports and their connected parts for pipe support drawings.

Piping

Gathers pipelines and their components for piping drawings.

Steel Order - Extended Volume

Gathers the same parts as the Steel Order gathering rule. Also gathers objects connected to the gathered objects but are not in the volume.

Steel Order - Member Part

Gathers member parts and parts connected to the member parts. This gathering rule is used for generic rule set steel order drawings which use the Member Part (Generic) view style.

Steel Order - RefPlane - Preview

Gathers target plates on a reference plane for the preview of steel order drawings. This gathering rule is used for generic rule set steel order drawings that use the Steel Order - RefPlane - Preview (Generic) view style.

Steel Order - Structure

Gathers plate, profile and member parts and excludes non-structural object by internal class IDs for steel order drawings. Adds other objects, such as seams and openings, based on their relationships. Excludes equipment from gathering; however you can manually select equipment to include.

Steel Order

Gathers plate, profile and member parts and excludes non-structural objects by internal class IDs for steel order drawings. Adds other objects, such as seams and openings, based on their relationships.

This gathering rule is used for generic rule set steel order drawings that use the Steel Order (Generic) view style.

Volume

An empty gathering rule for pure volume drawings. The software gathers all the objects through the range of the volume input. With this gathering rule, some custom tests might not work because all the objects are gathered through range without considering object relations.

Include all objects in volume

Defines how gathered parts are included in the drawing view.

Clear Include all objects in volume to gather only the selected parts and parts connected to the selected parts.

In the example below, the gathering rule selected plate 1. Plate 2 is in the volume but has no relationship to plate 1. The software does not draw plate 2.

Select Include all objects in volume to gather all parts in the volume even if they are not connected to the selected parts.

In the example below, the gathering rule selected plate 1. Plate 2 is in the volume but has no relationship to plate 1. The software includes plate 2 and draws it above plate 1 in the view.

Show Objects Gathered

Highlights the gathered parts.
