Moving Through an Intersection

Model Reference Manual

Equipment and Primitives : Moving Through Defined Intersection Planes : Moving Through an Intersection

This command moves the Current Element until its origin intersects with the Reference Plane through a fixed 3D point.


Examples:
MOVE N30W THR /BOX	Moves the Current Element along the given direction until it ‘intersects’ the Reference Plane through the origin of the named element (see Figure 7:16.: Moving along a given direction through an intersection).
MOVE E THR XE3000	Moves the Current Element along the given owner axis until it ‘intersects’ the Reference Plane through E3000 N0 U0 (see Figure 7:17.: Moving to intersect a plane through a given point).
MOVE ALONG N45E THR IDP@	Moves the Current Element along the given direction until it ‘intersects’ the Reference Plane through the picked p-point (see Figure 7:18.: Moving to intersect a plane through a given point).

Note:

The Reference Plane is perpendicular to the movement direction.
