To Change the Display of Graphic Subdivisions in a 3D Section

Use this procedure to change the display of subdivisions in a 3D section by changing its display properties.

You create the subdivisions by adding them to the section line. You can then change their length using grips or by editing the values in the section line properties.

Each subdivision in a 3D section is assigned to a numbered subdivision display component in the display properties of the 3D section. You can control the visibility, layer, color, linetype, lineweight, and linetype scale of each subdivision by changing the display properties of each component. You can apply these changes to the selected 3D section or to all 3D sections in the drawing.

  1. Select the 3D section in the drawing, right-click, and click Edit Object Display.
  2. Click the Display Properties tab.
  3. Select the Sub-divisions display representation.
  4. Check the Object Override box.
  5. If necessary, click .
  6. Click the Layer/Color/Linetype tab to list all the components that contribute to the display of the object.

    The defining line represents the cutting plane of the section line. The numbered subdivision components correspond to subdivisions added to the section line. For example, the display component Subdivision 1 corresponds to the subdivision closest to, but not on, the cutting plane of the section line.

  7. Turn the visibility on or off, and change the layer, color, linetype, lineweight, or lineweight scale as needed for each subdivision component.
  8. Click OK twice.
