LOD (Level of detail) adjustment

Sara_Davoudi

I'm trying to make plots and drawings from a steel structure. In my 3D model, I use mostly customized components as well as standard components from Bricscad, including bolts and nuts. Now I want to have my drawings show the model differently in the level of details based on the scale of the drawing.
In most BIM software (Revit, Archicad,..) I could easily change the detail level displayed on the screen or the drawings, but in BricsCad so far I could only find THREADDISPLAY to reduce the thread details of screws (it only works on newly inserted parts even after BMUPDATE but that's another story).
I want to know if this LEVELOFDETAIL system variable is in anyway possible to be customized so there is a middle ground between having full detail and having only a boundry box.
Or maybe there is another function I don't know of, that reduces the details of the model based on viewport scale.
Thanks

Hi Sara, the only way I can think of is to crete both low and high LOD geometry and put them on different layers and then turn of the according level.

In BricsCAD, achieving varying levels of detail in drawings based on the viewport scale involves leveraging several key features and settings. While BricsCAD lacks a direct LEVEL OF DETAIL system variable, you can effectively manage detail through the PROXYGRAPHICS setting, which simplifies the display of complex 3D geometry at smaller scales.

Could you explain a bit more please?
Because on the Bricscad reference ( https://help.bricsys.com/en-us/document/system-variable-reference/p/proxygraphics-system-variable?version=V22&id=16507925401045 ), I only found a short description which is not clear to me. And in my file it doesn't change anything when I toggle the variable.
