Details

A detail is a generated 2D plan.

Editing of detail views is described in the chapter EDIT VIEWS.

Context menu of a detail view

If you right-click on a created view, the following options are available:

Show view in a new window

Details in OUTPUT > VIEWS > FUNCTIONS IN VIEWS.

Float view window

Details in OUTPUT > VIEWS > FUNCTIONS IN VIEWS.

Rename

Details in OUTPUT > VIEWS > FUNCTIONS IN VIEWS.

Delete

Details in OUTPUT > VIEWS > FUNCTIONS IN VIEWS.

Create copy

Details in OUTPUT > VIEWS > FUNCTIONS IN VIEWS.

Separate view (only available in ELITECAD Mechanics)

Details in OUTPUT > VIEWS > FUNCTIONS IN VIEWS.

Refresh view

This function refreshes the detail. Innovations that have been created in the original view are taken into account. When refreshing, all data that was rendered from the original view is first deleted and then the newly rendered data read in. Newly drawn 2D objects are retained.
Modified or deleted elements of objects being refreshed are returned to the state in which they were created in the original view.

Tip

When working with the classification structure group/class/level care has to be taken that newly drawn 2D data is not added to an object, which will be updated. For instance, the hatch should not be added to the contour model, because it will be deleted when updating the view.

Export view

Details in OUTPUT > VIEWS > FUNCTIONS IN VIEWS.

Save PDF file

Details in OUTPUT > VIEWS > EXPORT VIEWS AS PDF/DWG/DXF.

Navigate to origin

Clicking this function switches to the view in which the detail was defined. The visible cut-out is set to the detail contour.

Modify view

Details in OUTPUT > VIEWS > FUNCTIONS IN VIEWS.

Create new detail

	Views manager > New detail
	Insert menu > Detail

The detail view allows you to define cut-outs of your design model, cut-outs from the floor plan (normal case) and from the section or a view.

A new detail can be generated using the corresponding header function or from the context menu of the details if a model view is selected.

The desired settings have to be entered in the settings dialog window of the view. By clicking on , the settings are saved and the view is created. The function MODIFY VIEW allows you to change the settings of the view after creation.

Tip

In ELITECAD Mechanics, a detail view can be defined directly in the plot view. You have to activate the desired sub view in the plot view. After defining the detail contour, the position of the detail label has to be indicated. Afterwards the detail view is placed in the plot view.

Settings of a detail view

While drawing the detail contour the pen and line type for the contour can be selected in the property bar.

General parameters

Name

Details in OUTPUT > VIEWS > GENERAL VIEW PARAMETERS.

Type

The type of detail depends on the type of the original view.
If it was generated from a design model or design model view, it can be defined with the types "design model", "view" or "plan".
A detail is generated from a view, a plan, a section or a detail and may only have the type "plan".

Entry mode

The area of the data that is to be transferred into the detail can be determined with four different options.
There are two pre-defined shapes, rectangle and circle, as well as the polygon, which can be used to define any outline.
The option SELECTION creates a detail from the objects visible on the screen. The detail is set automatically to "Offline" and can no longer be refreshed.
