existing layer. The Layer Properties Manager also allows you to create new layers by using the New
button in the Layer Properties Manager dialog box. You can also select a particular layer and make it the
current layer by clicking the Current button.
Lineweight Settings
Lineweight Settings are useful for increasing the thickness with which lines are drawn in 2D Wireframe
and other wireframe views. It is not common to use the 2D Wireframe view; the Flat Shaded, Edges On
view is more commonly used, as it has filled in walls that provide a more realistic 3D appearance.
However, when in 2D Wireframe mode, thicker lines can help make the walls of a building stand out
over a bitmap background.
To use typical settings for displaying lineweights, check the Display Lineweights checkbox in the
Lineweight Settings dialog box, and choose 0.30mm from the Default combo box. Make sure that your
Lineweights list box has ByLayer selected. Click OK in the Lineweight Settings dialog box to close it and
display the increased lineweights. Note that the lineweights will only be visible in wireframe modes.
Lineweights do not affect RF propagation simulation.
Prune Overlapping Partitions
This command process the design removing overlapping partitions to prevent double/triple attenuation
of partitions. Overlapping partitions are lines that get drawn directly on top of each other. Because
Summit WMScanner treats each line as a wall, the effect of overlapping lines is that two walls are
recognized where there should only be one. Prune overlapping partitions removes the duplicate lines so
long as they are the same partition type and drawn with the same start and end point.
Break/Ungroup Entities
This command ungroups individually selected grouped blocks in the current viewport. This means that
any grouped blocks that are currently being displayed will be separated (ungrouped) if you select them.
