|
Used to create a rectangular
object.
You determine the edges by clicking the two
diagonally opposed corner points or by entering their coordinates. In case the
volume cannot be determined by using the points you entered (maybe you clicked
on two points on a UCS plane), the program prompts you to enter the missing
dimensions.

|
Sphere
|
Used to create a sphere.
First, you have to enter the central point of
the sphere and then the diameter of the sphere or click it.
|
|
Cylinder
|
Used to create a cylinder.
First, you have to enter starting and end point
of the cylinder and then the radius or click it.
|
|
Cone
|
Used to create a cone or
truncated cone.
First, you have to enter starting and end point
of the cone axis or click it and then the starting and end point radius.
|
|
Extrude
|
Used to create a volume by
extruding a poly-line, which you have drawn beforehand. You first click the
poly-line and then enter the desired height. The poly-line is then extruded
along positive Z-direction of UCS.
|
|
Rotate
|
Used to create a rotational
solid from within any poly-line. This requires that you first click the
poly-line and then on the rotation axis. You can also indicate a rotational
angle, around which the poly-line is rotated. Another option is that the
poly-line can also rotate around the last drawn line segment, if you press the
ESC-key when prompted for the ‘Rotation Axis’.

|
Conical Pipe
|
Used to create a pipe that is
conical on the inside and outside. First, you have to enter or click the
longitudinal axis. Then you can enter the outer and inner radius at the
respective starting and end point.
|
|
Torus
|
Used to create a torus.
This requires that you first click or enter the
rotation axis and then enter the outer and inner radius.
|
|
Pipe>Rectangle
|
Used to create a transition
from a circular to a rectangular cross-section.
First, you have to enter or click the lower left
and upper right point of the rectangle and then click the circle.
|
|
Enveloping Solid
|
Used to create an enveloping
solid formed by any points.
This requires that you click the points that are
to form the envelope. Using this command, you can create almost any shape
(without arcs).
