Shortened view:

Shortened view is a special feature for catalogs which may look bad in the 2D derivation due to their proportions. This may happen with very long cylinders, for example. The 2D derivation would then appear to look more like a line than a cylinder.

If the part has an additional shortened view, then it is used (if activated).

Example: Checkbox "Shortened view" activated

Example: Checkbox "Shortened view" deactivated
