DynaScape Design has a unique tool that turns groupings of specific types of figures into a tidy cluster. This feature not only improves the appearance of the finished drawing but is also an important step to enable the softscape labeling tool to Auto-count the quantity of items in the grouping.
The term ‘clustering’ refers to process of grouping or blending individual figures into one discernible object, while keeping the individual counting properties intact.
How Does the Clustering Tool Work?
The clustering tool can appear to work in two different ways. Some figures will have their overlapping segments trimmed away, while others will appear unchanged. In essence, the clustering tool will combine several figures into a single figure or ‘block’ that has quantity counting properties for labeling and estimating purposes.
