It does so by filling out a position in the three "Position" text boxes. To figure out how high up we'll be putting the box, or rather, the box P0, we expect a little math: Big box height / 2 + pyramid height + new box height / 2, which gives 200 / 2 + 50 + 170 / 2 = 235 To complete the 235 "position"-up text box and the [OK] [O K]

New small cylinder

large cylinder. Start by creating a new cylinder inside the large diameter of 50. You can either use the Create> Copy> Offset or Command Line> > New copy pre-cyl dia 50 Then we move up the small cylinder, then move up the new cylinder so its center lies in the surface of the large cylinder.

Copy Rotate Hi hli ht the narrow c linder Copy and Rotate dialog box, open the Create> Copy> Rotate. It has a lot in common with Copy> Offset Help Graphics in the form of a rotation axis plotted. To move it you use Cursor> Element or> P, the shoulder sho ulder.. Then you can as the Copy window, use the Offset menu to move the axis of rotation as you want. Intersection menu is also used to move the axis of rotation, this may be choosing two latter elements brypunkt. Although this is "wrt" which works just like the Copy> Offset. Select, Cursor> Element Click on the large cylinder.

Remember Remember to ad ust the camera so ou have a good view of your model before you press [Apply] because you can not rotate or zoom the Confirm window is up. Angle is the angle between each copy center. Number of Copies, is of course, the number of copies.


New box, with position Create a new box from the menu. ”X-length” 130 ”Y-length” 400 ”Z-length” 100 This time, we specify a location for the box when we create it. Fill in the "Position" ”West” 500 ”North” 0 ”Upp” 590

This means of course, that the new box P0 will be placed in the specified position, which is derived from the element that is in the "WRT" text box. Nothing we change to this because it is equipmentets ref code.
