2D RESTRICTION

Purpose:

To modify the 2D restriction settings for a view.

Instructions:

1. In the Tools menu, click Model View, then 2D Restriction.

2. Indicate the view to be modified. The 2D restriction dialog is displayed.

3. Modify the view frame: either key in the coordinates or click the Modify Frame… button. Then it is possible to indicate the corners of the view frame on the screen.

4. Delete the 2D restriction frame: click the Delete Frame button.

5. Define whether the view should be clipped or not. If the view frame is defined and either clipping is requested or has been turned off, then the program will ask OK to Update Design?. Answering Yes to the question will yield an Update Design.

   Note: If the view is not persisted (like Shell Expansion, Bodyplan view), the program will ask OK to delete the geometry outside the view frame? Answering Yes to this question will just trim away geometry outside the view frame. Apply clipping will also set a clipping attribute in the view which activates clipping in the update design/update all operations.

6. Define whether the 2D restriction window should have a fixed position or if it should adjust to a new position of the view when it is moved. If you choose the fixed position, by checking Fixed Position, the restriction window stays in the same position when you move the view. If you then move models outside the restriction window when clipping is activated they will disappear (outfitting models) when you do an update design. If the restriction window does not have a fixed position it will follow when you transform the view. However it will not adjust to scaling, the size of the restriction window remains the same.

Options:

None.

Result:

The 2D restriction settings for the view will be modified.
