Activating a New Work Plane
Activate a new work plane as follows:
- Activate the model window.
- Select Modeling | Connection | Distance > Activate New Workplane.
- Select a building component, such as a wall or a truss volume.
- If necessary, rotate the model until the work plane is perpendicular. For example, select Select From Model from the tool strip, and click a surface of the building component.
- Do one of the following:
- Frame modeling
Model the frame parts on the work plane. You can add and delete profiles, joints and geometric constraints.
- Shaping a wall volume
Add constraints between the edges of the wall volume.
- Frame modeling
- Then, close the work plane. Select Modeling | Connection | Distance > Close Workplane.
Note:
- To edit frame parts, reactivate the work layer by selecting Modeling | Connection | Distance > Activate Work Plane.
