REPRESENTATION LEVEL
Description
This command enables individual drawing levels to be specified for the display of Catalog elements. Every basic primitive shape has an associated drawing level range attribute stored in the Catalog. If the specified drawing level coincides with this range, the 3D object will be drawn when it is added to the Draw List.
The practical effect of this facility is that it allows you to minimize visible detail when representing Catalog items. For instance, at level 3, steelwork may be represented as single line only, whereas at level 1 the full detail may be visible. Level 3 may well be adequate for design purposes.
LEVEL manipulation is not instantly updated on the screen. To see the effects of a level change, use the REPR UPDATE command.
Examples
|
REPR LEVEL PIPE 5 |

|
REPR LEVEL 2 |
Set level for all other Component types to 2 |
