Checking for Free-standing Objects

At any point in the modelling process you can quickly search for and select any CAD representing free-standing objects in your model. You may have forgotten to remove these or you may wish to move them to a particular layer which is excluded from auto-navigation.

Such objects are easy to miss and they may adversely affect Entities' journey through accessible space. There are two commands which can identify these objects and move them if you wish. The commands are 'identifyfreestandingobstacles' and 'movefreestandingobstacles'. You will not have to type the commands in full.

To check for free-standing objects:

  1. Type identify (the command bar will auto-complete the command) and press Enter.

    After a moment or two any free-standing obstacles in the model are selected and highlighted. The Output Bar indicates how many objects were found.

  2. You can now right-click to Cut, Copy or Delete these objects.
    Note: Before following the next procedure you may need to create a new CAD layer.

To move free-standing objects to another layer:

  1. Type movefree (the command bar will auto-complete the command) and press Enter.

    After a moment or two any free-standing obstacles in the model are selected and highlighted (they appear composed of dotted lines). The Output Bar indicates how many objects were found and prompts you to 'Select additional small object CAD to move to a new layer'.

  2. Select any other small object CAD to move if required, or proceed to the next step.
  3. Press Enter.
  4. From the 'Move to Layer' dialog box, select the CAD layer onto which you would like to move these objects.
  5. Click OK.
