Choose between <code>Projection lines<\/code>, <code>Projection patterns<\/code>, <code>Cut lines<\/code> or <code>Cut patterns<\/code>. The interface was designed to resemble the <em>Visibility &amp; Overrides<\/em> dialog box in Revit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use patterns<\/strong>: Now you can choose to display the patterns set in the filters for both lines or fills. If this checkbox is unchecked, a solid line or a solid fill pattern will be applied.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Custom dims<\/strong>: A textbox allows you to enter a measurement in millimeters that will become the length of the line or the width of the rectangles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More info<\/strong>: New information shows you the name of the generating view and the name of the generated legend.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Upgrades overview\" src=\"https:\/\/camilion.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/en_legenUp_01.png\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-upgrades-in-detail\">The upgrades in detail<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"setting-up-the-filters\">Setting up the filters<\/h3>\n<p>To demonstrate the new functionalities, we&rsquo;ve set up some filters with Projection lines <code>(a)<\/code> and Cut patterns <code>(b)<\/code> overridden. As you can see in the image below, both colors and patterns have been overridden.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Upgrades im2\" src=\"https:\/\/camilion.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/en_legenUp_02.png\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"create-a-legend-from-patterns\">Create a legend from <strong>patterns<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If the <code>Use patterns from filters<\/code> checkbox is activated <code>(c)<\/code>, and the <code>Cut Patterns<\/code> radio-button enabled <code>(d)<\/code>, the resulting legend will show both the colors and the patterns for each entry.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Upgrades im3\" src=\"https:\/\/camilion.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/en_legenUp_03.png\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>If, on the other hand, the <code>Use patterns from filters<\/code> checkbox is <strong>not<\/strong> activated <code>(e)<\/code>, the resulting legend will show the colors and a solid fill pattern for each entry.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Upgrades im4\" src=\"https:\/\/camilion.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/en_legenUp_04.png\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"create-a-legend-from-lines\">Create a legend from <strong>lines<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The same logic described above applies for line overrides. In this example, the <code>Projection Lines<\/code> radio-button <code>(f)<\/code> is activated and the <code>Use patterns<\/code> checkbox ticked, this results in a legend with lines as keys. Each line has an overridden style that matches the filters overrides.<\/p>\n<p>Also, now you can customize the length of the lines by modifying the textbox shown in section <code>(g)<\/code>. The length is measured in millimeters and if the keys are patterns, this will affect the rectangle&rsquo;s width.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Upgrades im5\" src=\"https:\/\/camilion.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/en_legenUp_05.png\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"changing-the-legends-size\">Changing the legend&rsquo;s size<\/h3>\n<p>To make your legend larger or smaller, you simply need to change the size of the <em>CML Textnote type<\/em> created upon creating the legend (select any of the text notes created and edit it&rsquo;s type).  Once this is done, simply re-run the LeGen plugin and the legend will adjust to the new size of the text.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>It&rsquo;s been almost a year since LeGen has seen the light and little by little we keep on making improvements based on our users feedback and the evolving industry needs.
