Inserting a Body into an Ordered Geometrical Set

You can insert a body into an ordered geometrical set.

Note: Depending on your role, you may not have access to this functionality.

Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing an ordered geometrical set with geometric elements.
  1. From the Structure section of the action bar, click Body in a Set .
    The Insert Body dialog box appears.
  2. In the Name box, enter the name of the body you want to insert into the ordered geometrical set.
  3. In the Father list, select the body where the new ordered geometrical set is to be inserted.

    All destinations present in the document are listed allowing you to select one to be the father without scanning the tree. They can be:

    • ordered geometrical sets
    • 3D shape representations.

    By default, the destination is the father of the current object and the body is created after the current feature.It is possible to select elements of the ordered geometrical set to put these elements inside the body when creating it. Only consecutive elements can be selected. Volumes and bodies cannot be selected. In case of selection of elements, the destination became automatically the father of the selected elements and cannot be changed any more.

  4. In the Features box, select Split.1 and Offset.1.
  5. Click OK to confirm the operation.
    The result is immediate.

    You can create the features you need in the new body inserted into the ordered geometrical set.
