Add Using Selected Points

This function is used to add an inclined, free-form plane by selecting the points of its edge line. The pitch of the plane is defined with the first three points. The selected points define the elevation of either the top or bottom surface of the plane.

• Adjust Bottom Side to Selected Edges
• Adjust Top Side to Selected Edges

Adding a Plane Using Free Points in a 2D Drawing

When the 2D drawing is active, the points are selected one by one and their elevation is typed in a text box. The elevation is typed in relation to the base elevation of the floor, which is usually the same as the level of the floor's top surface.

1. Select positioning according to bottom or top surface.
2. Select combine edges, if necessary.
3. Select the first point.
4. Type the elevation of the point.
5. Select the second point.
6. Type the elevation of the point.
7. Select 3rd point.
8. Type the elevation of the point.
9. Select other points.
10. Select Confirm.

Adding a Plane Using Free Points in a 3D Model

In the 3D model, points are selected with the cursor or generic point snap functions. Wire frame can first be selected as the method of representation of the model, in which case it is easier to select points of the model. The active state can be changed while selecting the points. For example, the first three points that define the pitch of the plane can be selected in the 3D model, after which the rest of the points are selected in the 2D drawing.

1. Select positioning according to bottom or top surface.
2. Select combine edges, if necessary.
3. Select points 1—3, which define the pitch of the plane.
4. Select other points.
5. Select Confirm.
