Creating the Ground Block

You use the Box tool to create a ground block. The ground block represents the surface on which the hook slides. By default, Adams/View creates the block with a depth that is twice the length of the shortest dimension of the block. You can also specify the length, height, and depth of the block before you draw it.

To create the ground_block:

1.	Select the Box tool , and change its construction method from New Part to On Ground.

2.	Click at location (-2, 1, 0) and drag to (-18, -1, 0). Alternatively, you can click at the start location and then click again at the end location.

3.	Rename the part ground to ground_block.
