Projection and Crossing Output Display Options Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to configure settings for each object type that you are projecting to multiple section views.

Note: You can access this dialog box from the Project Objects To Multiple Section Views dialog box.

• To specify the same setting for all of the objects, you can use the <set all> option.
• To specify the same setting for a selection of objects, you can select the objects using Shift+click or Ctrl+click and then click in one of the selected cells to change the setting.

Object Type

Lists each object in the object type that is in the selection set to be projected.

Draw Crossings

Specifies whether a marker is added to the section view to indicate where an object crosses a sample line. If a selected object does not actually cross the sample line, or is not within the specified crossing tolerance value, a crossing is not drawn on the section view.

Crossing Marker Style

Specifies the crossing marker style. Click <set all> for a category to specify the style for all objects of the category.

Note: When you project AutoCAD solids to section views, and choose to display crossings, the solid can be drawn so that it represents the actual position of where the sample line crosses the solid. To display this type of crossing for a solid, select <Section> as the crossing marker style. You can control the appearance of 3D solid crossings that use the <Section> style option by modifying the properties of the 3D solid layer.

Crossing Label Style

Specifies the crossing label style. Click <set all> for a category to specify the label style for all objects of the category.

Crossing label styles are specific to section views and can be found in the Section View Label Styles Crossing collection on the Settings tab in Toolspace.

Draw Projections

Specifies whether projections are added to the section views.

Note: 3D polylines, feature lines, and survey figures can be displayed as crossings, but not as projections. The Draw Projections, Projection Style, and Projection Label Style columns in the dialog box are grayed out for these object types.

Projection Style

Projection Label Style

• Use Object: The elevation is read from the object properties.
• Surface: The object is set to the elevation of a selected surface.
• Manual: The object is set to the elevation specified in the Elevation Value column.
• <set all>: Used at the category level to specify the elevation option for all projected objects in the category.

Elevation Value

Specifies the actual elevation of the projected object when the Elevation Options property is set to Manual. Click <set all> for a category to specify an elevation for all objects of the category that are set to the Manual Elevation Options property.

Displays the elevation value for the object when the Elevation Options property is set to Use Object or a surface.
