Description |
The REPRESENTATION PROFILE commands allow structural steel profiles to be represented by a single centreline or by a 2D outline. In some cases, it helps to switch between the two representations to simplify an otherwise complicated view. Changes to the representation are not instantly updated on the screen. To see the effects of a representation change, it is necessary to replace the affected item in the Draw List by Removing and Adding it. |
Examples:
|
REPR PROF ON PROF CL OFF |
Sets profile representation as 2D outline |
|
REPR PROF CL ON PROF OFF |
Sets profile representation as centreline |
|
REPR PROF ON PROF CL ON |
Sets both types of representation on |
