Selection of Views

When generating a panel in a Planar Hull Modelling view, Planar Hull Modelling examines the position and orientation of the panel relative to the plane of the view. Two possibilities exist:

• The panel is, at least roughly, in the plane of the view. Planar Hull Modelling projects, if necessary, the picture of the panel onto the plane of the view and selects viewing direction (affecting line types for stiffeners).

• The panel is intersecting the plane of the view. Planar Hull Modelling intersects the panel with the drawing plane and the generated components occur on the screen when they are generated, if they pass the plane of the view.

When generating in a view, a panel should normally be generated in the plane of the view. In certain update situations, however, it might be interesting to generate also in an intersection.

TBGD views always just project the panel as no specific view plane is defined for them.
