Isodraft allows you to exclude selected items from the material list. This facility is particularly useful for modelling items that are to be bought in as single units. For example, you could represent such a bought-in component by combining two branch members. In this case, you would want only one entry on the material list. A specific example would be if you modelled an orifice flange assembly using FTUBs as tapped connections. Here you would not want the FTUBs appearing on the material list.
The exclusion of an item is determined by the system attributes MTOC and MTOT for branch members and leave tubes, and the attribute MTOH for branch head tube. The settings you can use are:
|
ON |
Include on the material list and draw normally. |
|---|---|
|
OFF |
Exclude from the material list but draw normally. |
|
DOTD |
Exclude from the material list and draw dotted and dimensioned. |
|
DOTU |
Exclude from the material list and draw dotted but undimensioned. |
