To place a workframe

To place a new workframe into your 3D model, use the following steps.

  1. Select (Workframe).

    Click the point of origin.

    or

    Type the origin coordinate values

    or

    Click the right mouse button to accept (0,0,0) as the origin (default)

    The Workframe dialog opens.
  2. Indicate the spatial position by specifying the X-axis of the work frame. Pressing the right mouse button causes the current UCS X-axis to be accepted as alignment.
  3. Select one of the different work frame types.

Example

With asymmetrical length division

  • L=15000, B=8000,H=5000
  • X-axis: axis 1
  • Y-axis: axis A
  • Z-axis: perpendicular to axis A/1
  • Origin: Axis A/1, Height H=0

The entries of the dialogs above result in the following display of a ProStructures work frame (no additional rotation):
