The GTYPEs supported for structural single line representation are:
|
GTYPE |
Representation |
|
ANGL |
Basic rectangle with one extra front face or back face line along one side to indicate the orientation. |
|
PFI and TFI |
Two front face lines along both sides (side on) or two back face lines near the middle (above or below). |
|
PFT, TFT, and TFTW |
Either one front face line along one side (side on), or two lines near the middle in the back face (above) or front face (below). |
|
PFC and TFC |
Either one back face line along one side (above or below) or two lines along both sides in the front face (right, towards) or back face (left, away). |
|
RTUB and CTUB |
Two back face lines along both sides. |
|
Other |
Basic rectangle. |
The widget representation also depends on which of the four orientations the GENSEC is viewed from (above, below, left or right) to indicate an appropriate representation of the flange or web position and thickness (and in front face or back face style). The position of the widget, with respect to the single line, can change depending on the relative positions of the MEML and JUSL attributes.
The examples display front face lines as solid lines and back face lines as dashed lines.
