Sets the general properties of the selected elevation plane.

Standard

These properties are read-only if the selected plane was created using GridCSByPoints using Insert > Coordinate System by Points in Geometric Constructions in Molded Forms.

Coordinate System

Specifies the name of the coordinate system associated with the object.

Naming Rule

Specifies the name rule used to specify the default elevation plane name.

Name

Specifies the name of the elevation plane. Type a new name if needed.

Nesting level

Specifies the nesting level for the object plane. You can select Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary. Between two adjacent planes, a difference of only one level is allowed. Therefore, secondary planes are only allowed between two primary planes. Similarly, tertiary planes are only allowed between two secondary planes. The list is defined by the NestingLevelType codelist.

Type

Specifies the type of elevation plane, such as top-of- steel. The elevation plane types are defined in the reference data.

Elevation

Specifies the elevation of the elevation plane with reference to the coordinate system origin.

Drawing Style

You can use the Drawing Style property to suppress or include user-selected grid entities in a drawing document. When you create a drawing view style in the Drawings and Reports task, you can specify a filter that looks for the Drawing Style and uses that property to specify how the grid entities are symbolized in the drawing document.

Drawing Style 1

Specifies the drawing style in which grid entities display in your drawings.

You can add your own custom drawing styles by adding them to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsDrawingStyleIntf.xls. You must also add the property values to the codelist defined in [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsCodelist.xls. The modified workbooks must to be bulkloaded for the changes to display.

Drawing styles for grid entities are not available for hanger drawings.

Drawing Style 2

Specifies the second drawing style in which grid entities display in your drawings.

You can add your own custom drawing styles by adding them to the [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsDrawingStyleIntf.xls. You must also add the property values to the codelist defined in [Product Folder]\CatalogData\Bulkload\DataFiles\GridsCodelist.xls. The modified workbooks must to be bulkloaded for the changes to display.

Drawing styles for grid entities are not available for hanger drawings.
