To Configure Elevation-Based Display Components

In the Style Manager, you can change a display representation for all elevation-based display components for objects in a particular domain. However, in the Display Manager, you configure the display representation for domain objects individually.

Make sure that you coordinate the configurations of the elevation-based display components with each other (such as, contour components with insulation components), and with the display components that are not elevation-based (for example, connector display components).

  1. Select Enable Display by Elevation in the Options dialog box.
  2. Click Manage tab Style & Display panel Style Manager .
  3. Expand the desired objects folder.

  7. On the Layer/Color/Linetype tab of the Display Properties dialog box, specify values for the elevation-based display components, such as Contour, Single Line, and Hatch. Click OK when done.
  8. To configure 1-line, on the Display Properties tab, select a 1-line display representation, and click . Repeat the previous step in the Display Properties dialog box.

To activate the display range in model view

  1. Click Manage tab Style & Display panel Display Manager .
  2. On the left pane, expand Sets, and select MEP Design - Model.
  3. On the right pane, click the Display Options tab.
