Override Rib Hatching dialog box

For any section, broken-out section, or revolved section view, you can use the Override Rib Hatching dialog box to selectively identify individual cut ribs for display using the hatch style.

To learn how to generate the list in the dialog box, see the Help topic, Set rib hatching in section views.

Hatched ribs

Lists the cut ribs in the selected section view, for example, Rib 1, Rib 2, Rib 3.

Selecting a rib name in the list highlights the corresponding rib in the drawing view. (The rib names are for review only and are not related to the part file.)

Selecting the check box preceding a rib name displays hatching on the cut rib when the dialog box is closed and the drawing view is updated.

Note:

Following are some rules that control the results of rib hatch processing. These are based on view type and how the cutting plane line is drawn.

  • Section views

    At least one segment of the cutting plane line must intersect the rib, and the normal cutting of the rib must produce a hatched face in the section view.

  • Broken-out section views

    The broken-out section profile must be drawn on the same view where the cut is applied, or the resulting view must have the same view direction as the source view.

  • Revolved section views

    With a multi-segment cutting plane line, each cut in a revolved section view can be controlled separately through the segments list on the Display page of the Drawing View Properties dialog box. Similarly, you can fine-tune the hatching of each revolved section segment in the Override Rib Hatching dialog box.
