Use this tab to define how alignments and plot geometry should be displayed when viewed in 3D.
These settings apply only to geometry. The display properties are defined by the style that the objects reference.
3D Geometry
- Site Display Mode
-
Specifies how a site’s level is displayed in 3D:
- Use Level: Displays the site geometry at the actual level to which it was drawn.
- Flatten To Level: Displays the geometry flattened or projected to the level value specified by the Site Level property.
- Site Level
-
Specifies the level used to flatten the geometry; enabled when the Site Display Mode property is set to Flatten To Level. All site geometry will be displayed at the specified level, regardless of the existing physical level of the geometry. The object levels are not physically changed; they are only displayed at a single level.
- Curve Tesselation: Mid-ordinate Distance
-
Specifies the mid-ordinate distance for the 3D polylines, which is used to tessellate the feature line and plot line arcs from which the polyline is being created.
Construction Geometry
Specifies the layers that construction geometry uses for 3D display.
When you create plots or alignments, there may be solved and unsolved portions of the feature. The unsolved portion includes any unconnected elements of a feature.
For example, if you use the str-str method and create a number of lines, the whole feature is solved and the display characteristics are controlled by the plot style. If you create some connected lines and then add a line that is not connected, the result is a piece of ‘construction’ geometry.
- Construction Line Layer
-
Specifies the layer for line construction geometry. Click
to open the Layer Selection dialog box where you can select a layer. - Construction Arc Layer
-
Specifies the layer for arc construction geometry. Click
to open the Layer Selection dialog box where you can select a layer. - Construction Transition Layer
-
Specifies the layer for transition construction geometry. Not used.
