Inserting a Body into an Ordered Geometrical Set

You can insert a body into an ordered geometrical set.

Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing an ordered geometrical set with geometric elements.

  1. Select Insert > Body in a Set... from the menu bar.

    The Insert Body dialog box is displayed.

  2. Enter the name of the body you wish to insert into the ordered geometrical set.

  3. Use the Father drop-down list to choose 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 specification 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. 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.
