The axis interval that shall be shown in the axis section drawing can be defined using a static or a dynamic axis interval. No matter which features or views are bound to the drawing definition only elements that are located within this interval will be drawn.

A static axis interval is simply defined by providing two offsets in the axis reference system of the drawing.

A dynamic interval is specified by referencing a feature of type Axis location, specifying a time stamp and specifying two offsets. The basic location reference is the axis location recorded for the selected feature that nearest to the passed timestamp. If no timestamp is given, the latest observation is used. From this basic location reference the interval is calculated by adding offset 1 and offset 2. Table 1 gives some examples.
