Moving Either Side of a Fixed Object

Model Reference Manual

Equipment and Primitives : Moving In Front of or Behind Items : Moving Either Side of a Fixed Object

This command moves the Current Element until its origin is a specified distance one side or the other of a fixed geometric object. This takes into account the volume of the referenced element but not of the Current Element. Therefore it is applicable to, say, spacing the centreline of a vessel or column a certain distance from the surface of a wall.


Examples:
MOVE E DIST 1000 BEH /WALL10	The Current Element is moved East until its origin is 1000 beyond the far side of /WALL10 (see Figure 7:24.: Moving either side of a fixed object).
MOVE N45E DISTANCE 20 INFRONT /EXCH5	The Current Element is moved until its origin is 20 to the near side of /EXCH5 (see Figure 7:24.: Moving either side of a fixed object and Figure 7:25.: Moving either side of a fixed object in a specified direction).
