The plane views of plane panels contain:
-
Outer contour of the panel, cutouts and notches excluded.
-
Cutouts and notches.
-
Holes.
-
Seams in the panel with bevel symbols along the seams. Parts of seams within holes are not drawn.

-
Bevel symbols along the outer contour.

-
Stiffeners. Each stiffener is represented by a mold line, end cut symbols and a material symbol showing the material side in relation to the mold line. The mold line and the end cut symbols will be drafted in accordance with the rules given in Design Standards.
-
If defined, the position number of the stiffener will be set as a text in a layer, normally not displayed.

-
Brackets, not lying in the same plane as the panel, are represented by mold lines and material symbols. The mold lines will be drafted in accordance with the rules given in Design Standards.
-
If set, the position number will be drawn (the "short part name" - normally not displayed).

-
Flanges will be drafted in different ways depending on the type of flange. A flange can either be a welded or a bent flange.
-
If a flange is welded, the position number of the flange is also drafted, if set.

-
Clips. The clips are calculated according to the rules in Design Standards.
-
The dimension of the clips is given as a text in a layer that is normally not displayed. Can be controlled via the default file.

-
Brackets lying in the same plane as the drawing will be located and drafted in plane views.
-
The position number (short part name) of the bracket or the bracket designation will be stored as a text in a layer, normally not displayed.

By means of default parameters to the program Planar Hull Modelling it is possible to control whether a type of component should be drafted or not.
