Moving Either Side of an Intersection

Model Reference Manual

Equipment and Primitives : Moving Through Defined Intersection Planes : Moving Either Side of an Intersection

This command moves the Current Element until its origin intersects the Reference Plane a given distance either side of a fixed 3D point.


Examples:
MOVE N30W DIST 30 TO(or FROM) /BOX	Move the Current Element N30W until its origin intersects a Reference Plane 30 before (or beyond) the origin of /BOX (see Figure 7:19.: Moving either side of an intersection).
MOVE E DIST 1000 FROM /VESSEL5	Move the Current Element East until its origin intersects a Reference Plane 1000 beyond the origin of /VESSEL5 (see Figure 7:20.: Moving either side of a plane specified relative to another element).
MOVE ALONG N45E DIST 20 TO /COL8	Move the Current Element along N45E until its origin intersects a Reference Plane 20 before the origin of /COL8 (see Figure 7:21.: Moving either side of a plane specified relative to another element).

Note:

The Reference Plane is perpendicular to the movement direction.
