SpatialViewDefinition Class

Defines a view of one or more SpatialModels. The list of viewed models is stored by the ModelSelector.

This is how a SpatialViewDefinition selects the elements to display:

SpatialViewDefinition

  • ModelSelector
    • ModelIds -------> SpatialModels <----------GeometricElement3d.Model
  • CategorySelector
    • CategoryIds -----> SpatialCategories <----------GeometricElement3d.Category
