Modify building object properties

You can modify the drawing properties of the building objects (parts, bolts, reinforcement, surface treatment, welds, pour breaks, pour objects, reinforcement) in an open drawing. For example, you can change the color and how different kinds of lines are shown, or use fills in parts and cross sections.

Limitations: The color of the center lines can be changed only on the drawing and view level, not on the object level. For center lines, you can only adjust the color in object properties dialog box. You can adjust the line type of part center lines with the advanced option XS_​CENTER_​LINE_​TYPE.

To modify the properties of a building object in a drawing:

  1. Double-click a building object, for example a part, reinforcement, surface treatment, or bolt.
  2. Switch all the check boxes off in the dialog box by clicking the on/off switch at the bottom of the dialog box.
  3. Select the check boxes of only those properties that you want to modify.
  4. On the Content tab, select the part representation, whether to show hidden lines, center lines and reference lines, and which additional markings to show.

    Note that the center line is only shown for assembly primary parts and not for secondary parts when looking from the cross section direction. If the part is viewed from the side, the center line is also shown for secondary parts.

  5. On the Appearance tab, select the color and type of the lines.

    It is easier to adjust the center line color, if you hide the hidden lines on the Content tab first.

  6. On the Fill tab, set the part and section fill options and add hatches.
  7. Click Modify.
