HoleDef Element

The HoleDef element defines a hole shape. Each standard hole type has its own element containing the characteristic dimensions as attributes. For a more detailed explanation see the Hull Standards. The example below is a definition of a manhole.

<HoleDef HoleDefId="HO800*600">

<Manhole Height="800" Width="600"/>

</HoleDef>

The holes can be defined either via a HoleDef element and a reference to it or directly via the HoleType attribute and the Parameters element in the HoleShape element under the HoleGroup element. When defining via a HoleDef element the HoleDefId of this element must match the HoleDefId of the HoleShape element.
