      Product(s): OpenBuildings Designer
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Area: Electrical Annotation and Design


    Problem Description

    How can I change to a 2D display for electrical components in my design model?

    Steps to Accomplish

    Please refer to the below mentioned steps.

    1. First place some electrical components in your design model (in this case Raceway was placed).

     

    1. Then from the Electrical tab > Symbols tool group, click on the drop-down arrow next to the "eye" icon (View tools) as shown in the image below.

     

    1. From that list select the Display 2D Only option and click on the desired electrical component.  You should now see that the element is displayed in 2D only as shown in the image below.
