Displays properties for manufacturing plate parts. A manufacturing plate part is a two-dimensional wireframe representation of a detailed plate that has manufacturing data such as margins, shrinkage, marking lines, and beveling applied.
The order in which the properties display in your view depends on your configuration.
Approval State
Specifies the status of the selected object or filter. Changing this property sets the Status. The display depends on your access level. You might be unable to change the status of the object. The list is defined by the ApprovalStatus codelist.
Smart 3Dx saves an object to the database when you change that object's status. Use Undo (CTRL + Z) 
to reverse the status change.
You can only edit or manipulate an object with a status of Working.
Created by
Specifies the name of the person who created the object.
Curvature Type
Specifies the curvature type of the manufacturing object. The ProfileCurvature codelist defines this list.
Date Created
Specifies the creation date of the object.
Date Last Modified
Specifies the date of the last modification to the object.
Error Sequence State
Specifies the reason for a manufacturing command failure.
Hyperlink
Specifies the URL or local file path associated with the object. Click the hyperlink to open the page or object in your default browser. Point to the hyperlink to display the URL or path as a tooltip.
Description
Specifies the descriptive text associated with the hyperlink.
URL
Specifies the web address or local file name associated with the hyperlink. The URL must include the protocol, such as http: or https:, as well as the domain name. For example, https://hexagonppm.com/.
Is Panel
Specifies whether the manufacturing plate part is a panel.
Last Modified by
Specifies the name of the person who last modified the object.
Length
Specifies the length of the manufacturing plate.
Name
Specifies the name of the selected object. If the name is too long to entirely display
in the box, point to the box to display the complete name as a tool tip. If the name
is not defined by a rule, 
User Defined displays. If this name is generated by a naming rule, 
Naming Rule displays. If you type a name in this box, Smart 3Dx automatically changes the naming rule to User Defined.
Plate Type
Specifies the plate type.
Surface Type Requested for Unfolding
Specifies the surface that the software uses when computing the unfolding. Available options include the following:
Detailing Neutral Surface
This is the default option. Detailing gets the unbounded reference surface without features, and then offsets to the required location based on the rule-given neutral axis offset value. The software intersects the extended surface with the plate solid to trim the surface within the boundaries. This surface considers all the aspects such as bounding elements and bevel parameters to give the exact part length.
Detailing Part Surface
This option is implemented in Structural Detailing. The selected part surface is retrieved before any features are applied, and then the surface is offset in the required direction. In this option, there is no trimming involved. Bevel offset parameters are applied, but there is a considerable difference in part lengths because it does not trim the offset surface to lateral faces.
True Molded Surface
This option is implemented in Structural Manufacturing. It takes the immediate parent leaf plate system of the selected plate part, and gets its surface geometry. This geometry is then offset to the required surface. The part geometry is not used. The molded surface is offset according to the neutral axis ratio value. Bevel offset parameters are applied, but there is a considerable difference in part lengths because it does not trim the offset surface to lateral faces.
Shrinkage, margins, and bevels are applied as usual. The part lengths are not as
accurate for bevels as is unfolding with the neutral surface, however, because the
bevel correction is applied to the true molded surface contours. Manufacturing Service Manager 
, Marking 
, and Marking by Definition 
work as usual.
True Part Surface
This option is implemented in Structural Manufacturing. It takes the plate part surface before any features or chamfers, and then offsets that surface in the required direction. This option applies bevel offset parameters, but there is a considerable difference in part lengths because it does not trim the offset surface to lateral faces.
Detailing Molded Surface
This option is implemented in Structural Detailing. It takes the molded surface and intersects it with the part solid to give it the same shape as the part, including accounting for bounding part thicknesses. It should give the same result as Detailing Neutral Surface, except that it is computed in the molded surface instead of the neutral surface. This option fails in cases where it cannot successfully intersect the solid part with the molded system surface. Bevel offset parameters are applied, but there is a considerable difference in part lengths because it does not trim the offset surface to lateral faces.
For a plate bounded only by design or planning seams and other contours, there is no difference; the plate subsystem and the molded part surface are the same. However, if the part is bounded by any other plate systems or profiles, the surface accounts for the detailed shape and thickness of these boundaries. The plate subsystem does not. It is bounded only by the molded surfaces of its boundaries.
Imported Surface
This option is implemented in Structural Manufacturing. For this option, Manufacturing Plate 
accepts a .sat file. This imported surface is used for generating contours and specifying
the curves. All the marking lines are projected onto this imported surface, rather
than the surface inherited from the part surface. Imported surface geometry is fed
to the unfolding algorithm. Bevel corrections, margins, and shrinkages are applied
on the resulting manufacturing data.
Import Bigger Reference Surface
This option is implemented in Structural Manufacturing. For this option, Manufacturing Plate accepts a .sat file. The outer contours and markings are projected onto a larger
reference surface. Imported surface geometry is fed to the unfolding algorithm. Bevel
corrections, margins, and shrinkages are applied on the resulting manufacturing data.
This option is similar to Imported Surface without using the boundary contours of the imported surface.
For non-planar surfaces, the software first tries to unfold the neutral surface by
default. If there is a failure getting the neutral surface and its contour data, the
software uses the molded side of the object and puts the object on the To Do List with a warning indicating that the unfolding used the molded side for processing.
This process is followed for both planar and curved geometry.
Surface Type Used for Unfolding
Specifies the surface type that was used to generate the unfolding data. This property is read-only.
Survivability Status
Specifies the status associated with the manufacturability object. The list is defined by the MfgState codelist.
Generated State
All the steps and rules were successfully applied, and the manufacturing part was generated based on the steps and rules.
Partial State
Not all steps or rules were applied successfully. The information is not complete and you must add information to pass the manufacturability check. After the check passes, the step moves to Modified State.
Modified State
You have provided additional information that could lead to acceptance of the manufacturability check. The part remains in a warning state on the To Do List. You can refresh the part so that it is regenerated. If the check is successful, it gets a new status.
Width
Specifies the width of the manufacturing plate.
