Question

unable to remove quilts in a section view

I am trying to see if anyone knows how to remove quilts from a drawing view, when you add in a section view.

I have the option to turn the quilts off as "yes" so they are suppose to not be shown. If the view is a full view it works, but as soon as I add a section to the view, the quilts are turned on in the view and I cannot turn them off.

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Dennis

Do you have your settings so that you get layer properties for each view? If so you may need to select the view in the layer tree and hide the layer that contains it or put it on a layer if it's not already.

Kevin,

Thank you for the reply. I have gone into the drawing and changed the model tree area from the model tree info to the Layers info, and have the view listed in the line where the arrow is, to have this be what the layer info is about. Now I am not sure how to proceed from here. I do not know what layer this info is on.

The part file that has the geometry that I cannot hide has its model tree looking like this:

  • DTM2
  • DTM3
  • External Copy Geom id 21
  • External Copy Geom id 2295
  • External Copy Geom id 2230
  • (continues with all the external copy geom id's)
  • External Copy Geom id 32397
  • A_1
  • Grooves (datum plane)
  • (continues with remaining added geometry)

So in the drawing if I do not have a section, I can pick the option under the View Display category for "Hidden line removal for quilts" to be YES and in a non-section view the representation for these External Copy Geom features are not displayed. But as soon as I add a section, I cannot get rid of the quilts as i did in a non section view.

I hope this might explain more what my situation is.

You can remove quilts by creating a new layer and hiding it, or by currently using the Surface layer. Go to the layer menu, click on the surface layer-then layer properties-add-include and select the quilt you want to hide. Then turn that layer off or hide it.

Ed,

Thanks for your response to this question.

The best result for me, and the one that worked the best was from TPI 102781.
