Description
Changes the scale of the view as it appears on the drawing sheet. Select a scale value
from the list.
Defines a custom scale value. This property is enabled when Custom is selected for
View Scale.
Hides the model in detail view. The Normal setting displays all elements normally. It
is intended for all non-detail views. The Do Not Display setting shows only detail-
view–specific elements. These elements include lines, regions, dimensions, text, and
symbols. Elements in the model do not display. The As Underlay setting displays all
detail-view–specific elements, while model elements appear dimmed. You can use
the underlay model elements as references for tracing lines, dimensioning, and
aligning.
Applies a detail level setting to the view scale: coarse, medium, or fine. This setting
overrides the automatic detail level setting for the view. When you apply a detail level
to a view, you enable the visibility of certain types of geometry:
The compound structure of walls, floors, and roofs displays at medium and fine
detail levels.
Family geometry changes depending on the detail levels.
Structural framing changes depending on detail level. At coarse levels, it appears
as lines. At medium and fine levels, it appears with more geometry.
Click Edit to access the Visibility/Graphics dialog.
Changes the display to Hidden Line, Wireframe, Shading, or Shading with Edges. See
Model Graphic Styles on page 201.
Click Edit to access Advanced Model Graphics, which controls shadows and silhouette
lines. See Model Graphic Styles
Displays another slice of the model under the current plan view. That slice of the
model can be from above or below the current level. The underlay appears dimmed
and is visible even in hidden line. The underlay is useful to understand the relation
of components on different floors. Normally, you would turn off the underlay before
exporting or printing the view. You set an underlay by specifying a level. The slice of
the model between that level and the next level up displays. Three of the underlay
options (Current Level, Level Above, and Level Below) are relative to the current level.
All other choices are absolute.
TIP A level that is actually higher than the current level can be the underlay view.
For example, the basement level could have Level 2 as its underlay.
