Note: In 3D, if the second data point is placed at a different depth than the first point, the block is rotated about the x-axis of the view such that the diagonal corner is placed at the second data point. In other words, the first data point defines the depth for one horizontal segment of the block and the second data point defines the depth for the opposite segment.
Note: MicroStation does not have a Place Square tool. However, any of these methods can be used to place a square:
- Use the Place SmartLine tool and AccuDraw.
- Use the Place Block tool and AccuDraw.
- Use the Place Regular Polygon tool with the number of edges set to 4.
