Block
Menu access: Shape | Block
Description:
Allows you to create a parallelepipedic block primitive using an alignment point and three lengths.
General philosophy:
Enter the length along X direction (of the current coordinate system).
Enter the length along Y direction (of the current coordinate system).
Enter the length along Z direction (of the current coordinate system).
Select the alignment point.
Available option(s):
You can also create a block by directly
clicking the two diagonal points (not in the same plane).
The positioning modification allows
you to locate the block relatively to its alignment point.
The ENCLOSING
BLOCK button
allows you to create a bloc enclosing one or more element(s).
In this mode, you can
choose between Follow=
SUBSEQUENT OPERATIONS /
EXISTING
OPERATIONS
The option Minimal
box= YES /
NO
allows
you to define if the enclosing box is created according to the axis of
the current coordinate system or according to the global bulk of the selected
elements.
The following dialog box appear after the selection of the elements to enclose:
|
|
The enclosing box is oriented according to the axis of the current coordinate system.
The button Identical values allows to apply to all the margin, the value set in the X- . |
The button NEW
BLOCK allows
you to define new dimension for the block to position.
Specific point(s):
The block sides will always
be parallel to the X, Y and Z axes of the current coordinate system.
Available modification(s):
By using the icon 
,
you can change:
the alignment and the X, Y and Z length of an aligned bloc,
the reference coordinate system and the margins of an enclosing bloc.
