Drawing preferences

Version française

How the various components drawn are depicted can be set in the preferences section. Each surface can be assigned to a particular preference. The first part of this preferences section applies mainly to the "Drawing" interface. It should be noted that "Color by Scale means" applies only to lines and not to text. The buttons are used to change the color, style, and layer that will be used when drawing in CAD.

Section	Option	Description
Drawing Parameters	Triangles	Used to choose the type of line for triangulation.
	Breaklines	Used to choose the type of line for breaklines.
	Outline	Used to choose the type of line for the surface outline.

Color by Scale means	Color By Elevation	Used to draw the elements in a different color depending on elevation. Color ranges must be set. If an elevation falls outside the listed ranges, the element will not be drawn.
	Automatic	When "automatic" is checked, the software calculates the difference is elevation, divides it into fifths, and assigns a color to each level.

	Max Length segment for line approximation	Value for approximating a contour segment when picking them on screen.
