Specifying the Top and Bottom Faces of Design Space References

Top and Bottom Faces lets you specify the top and bottom faces of a design space reference using surfaces.


Before you begin:
  1. Create design space references.
  2. Create surfaces in contact with the top and bottom faces of the space references.
  1. Click Top and Bottom Faces .
  2. In the Top and Bottom Faces panel,
    1. Under the Design Space References area, select the space references.

      Tip: You can select a physical product to select all design space references available under it.

    2. Under the Floor Surfaces area, select the surfaces.

      Notes:
      • You can select 2D features such as surfaces, planes, cutting elements, and so on.
      • The selected surface must be in contact with the face of the space reference.



        • : Top surface
        • : Space reference
        • : Bottom surface

      • Only the face that is in contact with the surface is considered as the bottom or top face of the space.



        • : Design space reference
        • : Surfaces
        • : Bottom face
        • : Top face

  3. Click Apply.
    • The surfaces are set as top and bottom surfaces to the corresponding space references, and are listed in the Top Surfaces and Bottom Surfaces columns.
    • The top and bottom surfaces are saved as attributes in the space reference and are used to recognize the top and bottom faces of the space reference.
