View Dress-up parameters  

View dress-up parameters are located in the Drafting > ViewDressup node of the generative view style XML file (available via Tools> Standard> generativeparameters category > *.XML file).

These parameters define the style of the various parameters which deal with the dress-up of the view.

This section deals with the following subjects:

   
All generative view styles apply to views generated in exact mode. On top of that, some generative view style parameters also apply when creating other view types (CGR, Approximate and Raster), as specified for each concerned view dress-up element.

How are dress-up parameters computed?

  Dress-up parameters are computed according to the following process and cases:

 

 

Dress-up parameters computation process

  When computed, dress-up parameters are either retrieved from the 3D graphic attributes, or depend on the type of projected element. The graph below explains this in detail:
