The sample XML file provided with this application is Structure_GVS.xml.

This file is located at ../OS/resources/standard/generativeparameters.

Generative view styles are defined by an administrator and specify the appearance and behavior of a generated view. Generative view styles are defined in an XML file. For more information on GVS, refer to Generative Drafting User’s Guide: Generative View Style: About Generative View Styles.

The reference planes that will be used for a given project are defined in an XML file pointed by a Project Resource Management resource, Reference Plane System. For more information, please refer to Reference Plane System.

For more information about how to create views using generative view styles, how to set generative view style parameters or more generally on administering generative view styles, please refer to the Generative Drafting User's Guide: Generative View Style.

You can customize generative view style parameters for the reference plane system. These parameters are shared by all structure applications.

Sample XML File

In the sample XML file, generative view style parameters for openings are located towards the bottom of the file under StructureObjects.

Opening

GraphicReplacement
To use graphic replacement. Yes or No.
ViewType
There are two view types for openings: SideView and AnyView.

If the Opening geometry is planar (or is lying on plane P), and if the projection vector of the view is also lying on plane P, then it is SideView. In all other cases, it is AnyView.

See SideView information and AnyView information.
