HD65171: BOUNDING BOX ISSUES WITH VOLUME FILTERS.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Bounding Box Issues with Volume Filters
  .
  Scenario:
  Description:
  There is an issue with the Bounding Box calculation
  such that any model marked as Representation is
  included in the Bounding Box. This is regardless of
  whether the model is flagged as Define as
  Geometry , which causes a Bounding Box
  to be created around geometry which is not sent to
  CATIA.  This leads to erroneous results when
  applying a Volume Filter.
  .
  Steps to Reproduce:
  .
  1. Login to ENOVIA using the Default
  VPMADMIN.ADMIN role
  2. Create a Configured PRC, BOUNDING_BOX_PMR
  3. Create top level assembly,
  BOUNDING_BOX_PMR_ASSY
  4. Insert Second Level
  Instance "BOUNDING_BOX_PMR_DETAIL as a
  DETAIL
  5. Right Click Instance,
  BOUNDING_BOX_PMR_DETAIL ,
  Insert Document New
  6. Create Document with the Document
  ID, DOC_NUMBER1_PRIMARY_REP_GEO , and
  attach the NUMBER-1.model (see attachment) with
  Link Type: Representation; Document Role:
  Primary, and the box Define as Geometry selected.
  7. Right Click Instance,
  BOUNDING_BOX_PMR_DETAIL , and
  Insert -> Document -> New
  8. Create Document with the Document
  ID, DOC_NUMBER2_SUPPLEMENTARY_DOC , and
  attach the NUMBER-2.model (see attachment) with
  Link Type: Documentation; Document Role:
  Supplementary
  9. Wait for File Introspection to complete.
  10. Send Instance, BOUNDING_BOX_PMR_DETAIL
  to CATIA V5, and verify that the model, NUMBER-
  1.model is the only geometry sent to CATIA.
  11. Close CATIA; in ENOVIA, Right Click the
  Instance BOUNDING_BOX_PMR_DETAIL and select
  Copy
  12. Select the PRC, BOUNDING_BOX_PMR
  13. Select the Define Filters icon on the Right
  Vertical Menu
  14. Click Volume Filter
  15. Choose the Bounding Box radial button
  16. Select the Paste Icon and validate the results:
  Xmin: 0.0 in. Xmax: 0.5 in.
  Ymin: 0.927 in. Ymax: 3.147 in.
  Zmin: 0.0 in. Zmax: 5.0 in.
  *This works as expected; the accurate Bounding
  Box for
  NUMBER-1.model is displayed.
  17. Create Document with the Document
  ID, DOC_NUMBER3_SUPPLEMENTARY_REP , and
  attach NUMBER-3.model (see attachment) with
  Link Type: Representation; Document Role:
  Supplementary.
  18. Wait for File Introspection to complete.
  19. Select Instance,
  BOUNDING_BOX_PMR_DETAIL , Right
  Click and select Copy
  20. Select the PRC, BOUNDING_BOX_PMR
  21. Select the Define Filters icon on the Right
  Vertical Menu
  22. Click Volume Filter
  23. Choose the Bounding Box radial button
  24. Select the Paste Icon and validate the results:
  Xmin: 0.0 in. Xmax: 0.5 in.
  Ymin: 0.927 in. Ymax: 13.687 in.
  Zmin: 0.0 in. Zmax: 5.0 in.
  *This Bounding Box is incorrect; it encompasses
  Models
  NUMBER-1.model thru NUMBER-3.model. However,
  when the
  instance is sent to V5, only NUMBER-1.model is
  displayed.
  .
  Expected Results:
  The bounding box for the instance only
  encompasses the geometry that is sent to CATIA.
  .
  Actual Results:
  All Geometry that is labeled as Representation,
  regardless of role or "Define as Geometry", is used
  to calculate the Bounding Box.
  .
