Members and Export List

The Members pane allows you to navigate around the database hierarchy.
Though AVEVA E3D 2.1™ creates only GENSEC elements, old models might still contain SCTNs as well. The interface will still find SCTNs and export them. If a model is being imported and there are pre-existing SCTNs, these will be preserved, but all new members will be created as GENSECs.
If you add something to the Export list and has the item on display in a 3D Volume View it will be enhanced by changing its colour. The Export list is managed such that duplicate elements are removed and that items are exported only once.
Note:
Partial model transfers are supported by the interface, however, you must be aware
of how the Import process handles partial model transfers. Refer to Comparison and Merging Processes.
There are several methods of adding elements to the Export list:
|
Add CE |
Adds the current element to the list. This also implies all items below the current element in the database hierarchy. The WORL can not be added to the list. |
|
Add by Pick |
Allows you to select an item from the 3D Volume View. It is similar to other pick functions. Selection of this option brings up a Status window and puts you into a mode where an item from the 3D Volume View can be picked. You can also pick a sequence of items in succession to add to the Export list. Press Esc when complete. If you do not want to continue, press Esc. |
|
Add Structure |
Attempts to climb to the Structure owning the current element and add that to the Export list. A warning is displayed if there isn't an owning Structure. There is also a set of methods by which you can remove items from the Export list. These options work only on entries in the Export list, rather than in the model. As with adding to the Export list, removing from the Export list will cause the item or items removed to be returned to the default colour as defined by this interface. Note: |
|
Remove CE |
Looks for the name of the current element in the list and removes it if present. |
|
Remove by Pick |
Allows you to select something from the 3D Volume View and, if it is present in the Export list, the name will be removed. As with the Add by Pick option, you may select a series of items to attempt to remove from the Export list until Esc is pressed. |
|
Remove Selected |
Is a means by which the item selected in the Export list is subsequently removed. Select the item first in the list, then click Remove Selected. |
|
Clear |
Removes everything from the list. |
You may find that items are shown in the Export list do not exist, or have been renamed. The Export process will determine all the valid entries in the Export list and prepare the data accordingly. Clearing the list, or removing individual items will be performed as expected.
