Color By

Set either a “label” or a “contour” to be colored on the plot item.

Label/Value

Specify which label or value (as determined by the previous setting) to display in the plot item. The options for both are shown on the following table. Some options will require additional, dynamically-provided attributes in order to complete the selection; these are indicated with notations on the table.

Color-List/Contour

The attribute appearing in this position is either a Color-List or a Contour, depending on the “Color By” selection. Refer to the standard color-list control description and the standard contour control description for details.

Excavations

Select whether blocks that have been excavated (null zones) will be displayed.

Overlap Error

Display blocks that have been tagged as overlapping more that the allowed tolerance.

Round Corners

Display blocks with rounded corners. This may be very slow in models that have a large numebr of blocks.

Map

Map the item to new model coordinates. See the standard map control description for details.

Def-fac

Set the deformation factor. See the standard def-fac control description for details.

Data Index

Select to display index numbers on blocks or zones. This may be slow for plots with a large number of blocks.

Zone Outline

Select to display outlines on zones.

Block Outline

Select to display outlines on blocks.

Polygons

Set properties of item facets. See the standard polygons control description for details.

Legend

Set item labeling in the plot legend. See the standard legend control description for details.
