Graphical Representation in Drawings

The insulation components do not contain information on how they are graphically represented in drawings. This is defined separately as described below. The insulation assigned to space faces can be represented in drawings by a selected line type (cross sections) and hatch pattern (plane view). The setup is made by using a control file which Inithull program uses to create a control object named __SPACE_INSULATION__. The insulation component and the statement that defines the graphical representation should be named exactly the same.
Layout of the File
The control file may contain a number of different statement types as specified below.
The INS Statement
The statement is used to define the graphical representation of insulation in symbolic views.
Syntax
|
INS,<Name of insulation component>, [ /LT_SECTION=<line type in section views> ] [ /COL_SECTION=<colour in section views] ] [ /LT_PLANE=<line type in plane views> ] [ /COL_PLANE=<colour in plane views] ] [ /HATCH_ANGLE=<angle of hatching in plane views> ] [ /HATCH_DIST=<distance between hatch lines in plane views] ] ; |

|
/LT_SECTION |
Line type in section views. Parameter is the name of a line type. |
|
/COL_SECTION |
Color in section views. Parameter is the name of a color. |
|
/LT_PLANE |
Line type in plane views. Parameter is the name of a line type. |
|
/COL_PLANE |
Colour in plane views. Parameter is the name of a color. |
|
/HATCH_ANGLE |
Hatching angle. Parameter is the angle in degrees. |
|
/HATCH_DIST |
Hatching distance. Parameter is the distance in mm between the hatching. |
