0.000mm Detail Callout Masking, Power-Law Hatch Scaling & Multi-Scale Sheet Packing
Create 1:10 and 1:25 construction details non-destructively from your master model with exact boundary clipping and automated 2D A-series sheet layout.
Executive Technical Takeaways
- Drag a callout frame to generate an isolated orthographic [Detail] scene without duplicating or slicing your model
- Liang-Barsky & Sutherland-Hodgman hard clipping guarantees 0.000mm parity across Viewport, DXF, and PDF
- Non-linear power-law hatch damping prevents dense black hatch blobs at 1:10–1:25 while preserving master scene scales
1. Non-Destructive Quad Masking & Master Annotation Isolation
Framing a joinery or facade node spawns a dedicated orthographic detail scene that automatically hides master-plan dimensions while protecting detail-specific callouts and maintaining crisp 2.5mm paper text height.
2. Power-Law Hatch Damping & Automated 2D Sheet Packing
Instead of linearly shrinking hatches into solid black ink at 1:20, SU·CAD Pro applies a power-law damping curve for balanced visual density, then packs multiple multi-scale details onto standard A0–A4 sheets with detail index bubbles.
