- QENT Menu: (WALLS) WEDIT / INFO
- ==============================================================================
- Queries the attributes of an entity and types them in the prompt line of
- the screen.
-
- 1.* (IND) entity to be queried
- 2.* (Y/N) confirm choice
-
- Description
- This command informs you of the current attributes of an indicated entity.
-
- Indicate and confirm the entity to be queried. The requested information
- will be displayed in the prompt line of the graphic screen. The message
- will remain displayed until you press any key or mouse button, or until you
- enter another command.
-
- If there are more attributes than can be contained on the message line,
- "MORE . . ." will appear at the end of the line and the next line will be
- displayed when you press any key or mouse button. If you want all the
- attributes to be displayed on one screen, use the \QENT1 command.
-
- The system attributes are presented in the following formats:
-
- surface polygons:
- * ar = area
- * p = perimeter
- sn = 2D library entity
- solid entities:
- * vo = volume
- * ar = area of faces
- nu = complex solid
- axial walls:
- ww = left width
- right width
- wz = height at 1st end point
- height at 2nd end point
- * wa = volume
- area of left face
- area of right face
- area of wall base
- * h = maximum height
- multi-layer walls:
- wn = wall name
- wz = height at 1st end point
- height at 2nd end point
- (heights to which wall will be restored if 3D
- model of wall is erased (\mw2d) and
- recreated (\mw3d))
- * wz = updated heights after sectioning (ONLY for areas
- and `irregular walls')
- * wa = volume
- area of left face
- area of right face
- area of wall base
- * h = maximum height
- ws1 = 1st wall end status j-joined
- 1st wall end status c-closed
- ws2 = 2nd wall end status j-joined
- 2nd wall end status c-closed
- off = offset distance
- * mwe = layer widths
- aln = alignment by: 1 first layer
- alignment by: -1 last layer
- alignment by: 0 center
- cln = indication of wall refinement
- $seg = no. of segments in 3D multi-layer wall arc
- multi-layer wall openings
- * wz = updated heights after sectioning (ONLY for areas
- and `irregular walls')
- * 3dsn = name of predesigned opening
- * oz = height of predesigned opening
- * ol = length of opening
- * ov = volume of opening
- * ora = area of right face opening
- * ola = area of left face of opening
- * orl = length of right side of opening
- * oll = length of left side of opening
- sn = name of opening or 2D library entity
- con1 = end condition attached to 1st end point
- con2 = end condition attached to 2nd end point
- con = end condition (not opening)
- ecn = end condition name
- conl = end condition attached to left of opening
- onr = end condition attached to right of opening
- ofz = height of opening above floor
- oz = height of 3D opening or name of solid linked to opening in
- predefined opening
- scz = scaling along z of predefined opening
- 3D placed entities:
- * scl = factors (x y z)
- text, dimension entities and linear patterns:
- ta = text attributes in old database
- tb = text attributes in new database - 11 values
- text size (meters), 0, color, 0, 0, font no.,
- justification, 100, X of text plane,
- Y of text plane, 0
- dimension size (meters), edit code, color, 0,0
- font no., justification, 100, X of
- plane, Y of plane, 0
- t = text string or pattern code
- $tf = text font name
- $lh = linear pattern font name
- $wnh = multi-layer wall fill patterns
- staircases:
- rise = rise
- tread = tread
- 2h+b = controlling formula
-
- NOTE 1: In addition to the system attributes, the non-geometric
- attributes added by the user are also displayed.
- NOTE 2: The order of the attributes may be changed if the entity is updated.
