Level and Obstruction for PDMS Primitives

Level

Level Attribute is specified as two Numbers, representing the inclusive range in which that element will
be drawn or shown.

In Design, Only Primitives whose Level included by REPRESENTATION Command will be shown.

For Nozzles and Piping Components Level Ranges are specified in Catalogue.

If range Level specified by Representation command is 0 6 then all primitives whose Range Level is 7 or
more to 10 will be not be shown or drawn.

Normally we specify, Level range 7-10 for Insulation while Level 8-10 for Obstruction. Because of which
we don't see Insulation and Obstruction in Display.

To see Insulation or obstruction, we need to force system to override current representation setting and
show Insulation and Obstruction.

Level range may vary from company to company depending their own set standard.
