Project2

Anonymous — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:14:52 GMT

I am using the project command for my 2d display which is below. I have 2 projects because I want a fill inside the object. and the second one displays the outline. this is exactly what I want.


project2{3} 3, 270, 3 + 32, 4, 91  ! adds fill
project2 3, 270, 2 !adds outline

I now want to display this object differently one story below (a beam for example) I would like the beam to only show the outline of the object but I would like the outline be a hidden linetype not solid.

Can I do this using project command or is there a different command I should be using? I know I can just do a polygon or lines but if I tilt the beam the display will not be a rectangle.

If you can give me an example that would be great.

Thanks,
John

Only the "system" linetypes will work with project comands unfortunately ;-(

Try this:

	LINE_TYPE dash_line

	PROJECT2{3} 3, 270, 3 + 32, 4 ,91
	PROJECT2{3} 3, 270, 3 + 32, 8

If you use a dashed Line for "dash_line", a dashed line is shown in 2D.
