Display Model Manager

Use the display model manager to create and edit display models, display model maps, and layers.

You can provide display models per industry model, and per extension, and then combine them as needed, for example Land + Water + COGO + Plot. See also Setting up Display Models.

The Display Model dialog box provides different areas, depending on the context.

Display Deleted Features

This option is available only if the industry model is job enabled, and this option applies only if the display model was created using the Display Deleted Features option.

For display models created using the Display Deleted Features option, clear this option to display only the existing features of the currently selected job. Features deleted in the current job are not displayed. With this option enabled, the Display Manager uses the text function TB_SQL for TB_JOB_OPERATION_ID.
