Figure 19.49
Clearance space reference planes in an equipment family
Once you have modeled a clearance space extrusion, there are properties
that you can apply to it for visibility, as shown in
Figure 19.50
.
In the panel
example, a unique material type was created and applied to the extrusions
for their semitransparent display. This keeps them from blocking out the
actual equipment when shown in a model view.
Figure 19.50
Associating material for the clearance
A subcategory was created for the clearance space extrusions so they can
be turned off in model views without turning off the equipment category.
The subcategory is given a color for the edge lines of the clearance space
extrusions to stand out from other solid geometry, as shown in
Figure 19.51
.
