The reference plane browser lists the reference planes coming from:
- Plane systems aggregated
under the active 3D shape representation.
- The reference plane system
specified in
Common Geometry Resources in
Data Setup.
The same reference plane system must be available under the root product.
Using the reference planes browser, you can select reference planes directly from the
Selection List or create formulas for the selection of planes
under Formula.
Under
Selection List, you can sort the reference planes
and grid sets in alphabetical order. It is also possible to filter the required
grid sets and subsets.
Under
Formula, create formulas for the selection of
planes.
Grid set
|
Lets you select one of the grid sets.
|
Start
|
Lets you select one of the reference planes
from the selected grid set. It is mandatory to select the start reference
plane.
|
End
|
Lets you select one of the reference planes
from the selected grid set. It is not mandatory to select the end reference
plane.
|
Offset
|
Lets you enter a positive or negative offset
value.
|
Step
|
Lets you enter a positive or negative value
if both start and end planes are selected.
- Positive value: The start plane and every third
plane until the end plane will be selected.
- Negative value The start and end planes, and all
planes between them excluding each third plane will be
selected.
If you have specified an offset value, the offset will be
applied to each selected plane.

Generate
|
Click
Generate to create a formula from the
selected inputs. The created formula appears in the dialog box and is stored in
the repository. You can double-click the formula to edit it or click
to remove it.
You can create multiple formulas.
The repository stores the last 10 formulas for reuse.
