Common Functionality
Design Aids : Reference Grids : Create Cylindrical Reference Grid
Creates a cylindrical reference grid which contains multiple cylindrical, grid and elevation planes.
You are prompted to pick the Grid origin or
Input values in the dimension fields and press Enter or click to identify the grid origin position.
You are then prompted to Radius or
Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify a cylindrical plane.
You are then prompted to Radius or <Next>
You are then prompted to Angle or
Input a value in the angle field and press Enter or click to identify a grid plane position along the sweep axis.
You are then prompted to Angle or <Next>
You are then prompted to Specify bottom elevation or <Next>
Click the sphere grip and input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the bottom elevation of the grid.
You are then prompted to Specify tower height or
Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the grid height.
You are then prompted to Specify plane along Z axis or <Finish>
Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify a plane position along the Z axis. All elevation plane positions along the Z axis are measured from the grid origin.
Input F at the prompt and press Enter to end the command. A grid is created with specified planes and displays in the 3D view.
Throughout the grid creation process you can press ESC to cancel the command. Additional functionality is also available.
