    Setting Display group for Detail styles in ProStructures V8i [TN]

       
      Applies To 
       
      Product(s): ProSteel
      Version(s): V8i Select Series 3, Select Series 4, Select Series 5
      Environment:  N/A
      Area:  Detailing
      Subarea:  N/A
      Original Author: Roger Belen, Bentley Technical Support Group
       

     This area gives user more options to control or add filter on how elements can be displayed in the
    2D drawing. We call it DISPLAY GROUP.

    Background

    When creating Marking plans, Engineering drawings and Elevation plans. We sometimes would like to have some of the elements showing as either Standard display, System line, as Sketch or a combination.

     

    2D drawings shown as Standard Display...

    Or sometimes we might need to have the other elements shown as Sketch and Standard display.

    (In this case the bracing is shown as Sketch and the rest are Standard display).

     

    In cases like this we need to add some Display group in our Detail Styles.

    Below you will find some information on how to do this.

    Steps to Accomplish

      

    To do this first we need to go and edit our Detail style and begin adding some Display group into it.

    1. First step is to add a Display group. You can do this by doing a right click and then Add Display groups > Add

     2. Enter a name for the display group (Bracing for this example)

     

    3. Our goal for this Display group is to limit it to a particular set of elements. To do this we need to add parts into it.

     

        To  Add parts select Bracing display group and then right click Add Parts

     

     

    4. The Assign parts Dialog box will then appear. From here you would need to set on how you want to filter the settings for the Display group.

    •  Select the main type of element. This is the area where you need to specify what kind of shapes or element you want to include in the Group Display parts. Usually when you selected the Main Shape type it will give you
      an option to choose a Sub type.

                For this exercise I am choosing SHAPES as the main type of element.

     

    • Sub type. If you have selected a main type, usually it will give you an option to select a sub type this is to furher limit the settings for your filter.

     

       For this exercise I am choosing all shape types as the sub type

     

    • Part Description. The part Description part does have 5 options. This area makes the filter more specific by making use of any of the 5 part description.

     

      • Area : All the Area Class used within the model
      • Family : All the Part Family  within the model
      • Display: All the Display Class assignment within the model
      • Description: Description File assignment used within the model
      • Name: Refers to the Shape description of the element. 

                 For this exercise I am using Display class BRACING

                             

     

     5. Once you have all the settings needed,Click the Arrow Icon at the bottom. This means that the selected      including its size range will be added to the dimension group. Then Click OK.

     

     6. After creating a Display group you may  add some more groups. Please see other example Display groups below.

     

     

    7. After Creating the Display group and modifying the 2D Display settings 

     

    From the Standard View
