Drawing Entity Concepts - Rectangle

Rectangles are drawing entities used to create a background or present information in the graphics area or in Reports. As drawing entities, they do not participate in the lighting calculations. Rectangles do not contain any surfaces.

Rectangles are drawn by specifying the opposing corners of a four-sided polygon with orthogonal sides. They may be specified in any view (Plan, elevation or isometric) in Model Mode or on the media in Reports.

Technical Details

Straight line segments make up the lines, and their relationship is maintained during modification. That is to say, rectangles can be copied, moved, rotated, etc. and the lines will remain intact. To modify an individual segment, explode the rectangle.

Rectangles are created using the current color and line type on the Properties toolbar.
