Solids Builder - Expose Curve

Expose Solid - exposes a curve created on the model, so that it is actually drawn in the project:

This activity is not essential, however it will be possible to draw in Model Space, curves (line, polyline, etc.) that can represent devices in other ways, other than the standard plan projection. For example: if Nodes only want the outer outline of a linear device, without the inner lines.

The Expose Curve activity has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name - name of the activity
    The solid name must follow the naming rules
  • Expose Geometry - name of the curve to expose
  • Style Component - Name of the style component
    If empty, it will be the name of the geometry
  • Object Visible - indicates whether or not the point should be drawn in the preview
    
    

If the text gets too big/small, or the sphere that represents the point gets too big or small, use the buttons ( A, a, , ) at the top of the screen to change the preview

Note, a device can be composed of more than one exposed solid! A manhole, for example, may have:

• Lid (cast iron)
• Chimney (reinforced concrete tube)
• Slab or cone (reinforced concrete)
• Body (masonry, concrete, structural block)
• Floor (reinforced concrete)

Therefore, these components can be drawn with different styles:

For the style to be effectively applied to the component, make sure that the Name property of the Expose Solid activity is the same as the name of the component. component in the style (use the button Copy in the image above).
