Displaying Objects in a Viewport
The display configuration, the current viewport, and the object interact in
the following manner to determine what is shown in a viewport:
â– The active viewport has a current view direction and a current display
configuration. For example, the view direction is Top, and the display
configuration is Medium Detail.
â– The display configuration has one or more display sets and uses the display
set that is assigned to the current view direction. For example, in the
Medium Detail display configuration, the Plan display set is assigned to
the Top view.
â– The display set has associated display representations and it selects the
representation(s) associated with the object that needs to be shown. For
example, in the Plan display set, doors, windows, and walls use their Plan
display representations.
â– The object is shown in the active viewport using the appropriate display
representation(s) and display properties.
Examples of View Directions That Use Different Display Sets
A display configuration assigns display sets to specific view directions. When
a view direction is selected, the display representations in the display set
determine how each object is displayed in the viewport.
For example, the following illustration shows a viewport assigned the Plot
display configuration and the Top view direction. In this illustration, the
objects are shown with a Plan display representation.
