Description

Describes the key plan style.

Key Plan Type

Specifies a type for the key plan. The properties displayed depend on the key plan type you select. Select one of the following options:

  • One Volume with Plant View - Shows the full plant view with a "you are here" representation for the associated volume, as shown in the example below.

  • Natural Volumes Only - Specifies a key plan which displays the volumes by natural size. The key plan layout is based on the size of each volume, which can be irregular if the volumes are of different sizes, as shown in the example below.

  • Normalized Volumes Only - Specifies a key plan that is arranged in a normalized manner. Each volume has the same amount of space in the key plan, as shown in the example below. The Default key plan that is delivered with the software is an example of this type of key plan.

One Volume with Plant View Properties

  • Coordinate System - Provides a list of all coordinate systems in the model. It also includes the value Use the Coordinate System of Related View. Selecting this value will cause the key plan to use the same coordinate system as the associated drawing view.

  • Range Filter - Specifies the range to display beyond the associated volume. The range filter determines the range and what objects can be displayed in the key plan view. For example, if you want to have equipment and grids shown in the key plan view, both must be included within the range filter and not only in the filters that are used in the volume view style associated with the key plan view style. Click More to display the Select Filter dialog box. For more information, see Select Filter Dialog Box.

  • Orientation - Provides a list of orientations available for the key plan type.

    The Orientation value in the key plan view style overrides the Look Direction setting in the key plan graphic drawing view properties.

  • View Style - Specifies the style used to display the key plan graphics. Click More to display the Select View Style dialog box and select the view style type and a view style. The selected view style type filters the available styles found in the [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Drawings\Catalog\Rules folder.

Natural Volumes Only Properties

  • Coordinate System - Provides a list of all coordinate systems in the model. It also includes the value Use the Coordinate System of Related View. Selecting this value will cause the key plan to use the same coordinate system as the associated drawing view.

  • Search Range in X direction (Multiple of volume width) - Specifies a search range as a multiple of the volume width. This width defines the horizontal extents the software uses to locate another drawing volume with the same parent as the current drawing.

  • Search Range in Y direction (Multiple of volume height) - Specifies a search range as a multiple of the volume height. This height defines the vertical extents the software uses to locate another drawing volume with the same parent as the current drawing.

  • View Style - Specifies the style used to display the key plan graphics. Click More to display the Select View Style dialog box and select the view style type and a view style. The selected view style type filters the available styles found in the [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Drawings\Catalog\Rules folder.

Normalized Volumes Only Properties

  • Coordinate System - Provides a list of all coordinate systems in the model. It also includes the value Use the Coordinate System of Related View. Selecting this value will cause the key plan to use the same coordinate system as the associated drawing view.

  • Search Range in X direction (Multiple of volume width) -Specifies a search range as a multiple of the volume width. This width defines the horizontal extents the software uses to locate another drawing volume with the same parent as the current drawing.

  • Search Range in Y direction (Multiple of volume height) -Specifies a search range as a multiple of the volume height. This height defines the vertical extents the software uses to locate another drawing volume with the same parent as the current drawing.

  • Alignment in X direction (Multiple of volume width) - Specifies an alignment tolerance as a multiple of the volume width. This tolerance determines whether to align the vertical sides of volumes within the key plan. The larger the tolerance, the more likely the vertical sides will align.

  • Alignment in Y direction (Multiple of volume height) - Specifies an alignment tolerance as a multiple of the volume height. This tolerance determines whether to align the horizontal sides of volumes within the key plan. The larger the tolerance, the more likely the horizontal sides will align.

  • Normalized in X direction (Multiple of volume width) - Specifies a resizing tolerance as a multiple of the volume width. This tolerance determines whether to represent volumes within the key plan with the same width as the volume of the current drawing. The larger the tolerance, the more likely the volumes will be resized.

  • Normalized in Y direction (Multiple of volume height) - Specifies a resizing tolerance as a multiple of the volume height. This tolerance determines whether to represent volumes within the key plan with the same height as the volume of the current drawing. The larger the tolerance, the more likely the volumes will be resized.

  • View Style - Specifies the style used to display the key plan graphics. Click More to display the Select View Style dialog box and select the view style type and a view style. The selected view style type filters the available styles found in the [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Drawings\Catalog\Rules folder.

  • To apply a style to the volume of the current drawing in the key plan, use the term KEY PLAN FOCUS ELEMENT in the Filter column of the key plan view style and then assign a graphic rule. You must use uppercase letters for the term.

  • Normalized key plan types do not support the use of graphic modules in their key plan view styles.

  • One Volume With Plant View key plan types do support the use of graphic modules in their key plan view styles. For example, you can use the VolumeWireFrame.dll graphic module to prevent the volume of the current drawing from obscuring objects within it.
