Creating Constructed Geometry

You can create constructed geometries automatically.

  • Creating an automatic constructed geometry allows you to create associative wireframe geometry according to the context or represented geometry.
  • The life cycle of an automatic constructed geometry is managed by the app.
  • To customize the constructed geometry options.
  • The constructed geometries are grouped under the construction geometries section in the Annotation Set section.

See also Constructed Geometry preferences.

Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape.

Managing Constructed Geometry
  1. From the Annotation section of the action bar, click Constructed Geometry Creation .
  2. Select the surface as shown.


    The Constructed Geometry Creation dialog box appears.
    Tip: Double-clicking any automatic constructed geometry displays this dialog box.
  3. Select Axis and Plane as geometries to be generated and click OK in the dialog box.
    The axis and the plane are created in the geometry.

    In the tree, Cone Axis.x and Gage Plane.x representing the created axis and plane geometries are added to the Construction geometries section.
  4. Click Constructed Geometry Management
  5. Select the surface as shown.


    The Constructed Geometry Management dialog box appears and displays the two created geometries and their creation mode, where User Surface.x1 and User Surface.x2 are representing geometry elements of the axis and the plane respectively.
  6. Click OK.
