View OptionsTab (Interference Style Dialog Box)

Use this tab to define the appearance of interferences in plan and model views.

Symbol Options

Specifies the marker style that will be used to visually identify interferences in 2D plan view.

Marker Style

When this option is selected, a 2D marker is used to visually identify interferences in plan view.

Solid Options

Specifies the method that will be used to visually identify interferences in model view.

Show True Interference Solid

When this option is selected, interferences appear as a solid of the true collision of the network parts. This includes solids that are created when using the proximity check options.

Show as Sphere

This is the default option. When this option is selected, interferences are identified in the drawing by a sphere that is inserted into the drawing at the location of the interference. This option can be useful for identifying interferences that are otherwise difficult to see, due to being obscured by other drawing entities.

The size of the sphere can be defined by specifying the following size (diameter) options:

• Diameter by True Solid Extents: When this option is selected, the sphere is inserted at the centroid of the interference solid, with a size equal to the extents of the true interference solid. This option may be useful to visually represent (symbolize) the severity of the collision between parts.
• User Specified Diameter: The size of the sphere is determined by the value entered in the box. When Use Size in Absolute Units is selected, the value entered in the box is calculated in feet or meters, depending on drawing settings. When Use Drawing Units is selected, the value is calculated in inches or millimeters, depending on drawing settings.
