Brick Creation Mode
Shapes Brick
In this mode, you may interactively define a brick by double-clicking
its corners in the currently active coordinate system.
Creation steps
When you first enter the mode, you will be asked
to double-click to mark the first corner of the brick. The cursor’s
location will be projected onto the currently active to define the corner (always
remember to release the mouse button after double-clicking, before dragging
to the next point).
After the first
point has been set, you may specify the opposite corner by again double-clicking
at a location on the working plane. During this operation, a rubber band
rectangle will be displayed indicating the current size and location of
the brick’s ground plane.
If the rubber-band
rectangle is degenerated to a single line (for example, if you have pressed
the SHIFT key), you are able to
define a brick with a symmetric width according to this line.
In the third step,
you may specify the height of the brick by double-clicking a distance
perpendicular to the working plane. During this operation, a rubber-band
brick will be displayed indicating the size and location of the currently
defined brick.
Finally, a brick
dialog box appears where you may check your settings and assign a
, a
and a material
for the new brick.
SHIFT key
If you press the
SHIFT key after the first point has been set, the cursor movement will
be fixed in one coordinate and can only be moved in the other and vice
versa.
Display of locations
Throughout this mode, the current mouse location
will be displayed in the lower right corner of the .
Snap mode
All positions will be adjusted to the snap
grid when active.
Cancel interactive mode
You may cancel this interactive mode at any
time by pressing the ESC key. Pressing ESC again in the following dialog
box will terminate the brick creation.
Undo last double-click
You may go back to the last step by pressing
the BACKSPACE key. Pressing this key in the interactive mode will undo
the last double-click.
Numerical specification of coordinates (TAB key
and SHIFT+TAB key)
To precisely specify the shape coordinates,
you may press the TAB key whenever a point must be double-clicked. A small
coordinate dialog
box will open in which you may specify the shape coordinates numerically.
The dialog entries take over the coordinates
at the cursor position on the .
However if the SHIFT+TAB key is pressed the coordinates are always set
to zero.
Pick tools to specify coordinates
You may snap the location to a previously defined
shape’s corner, cylinder radius etc., by activating a point
pick tool, at the moment when the next point has to be specified.
The double click will be processed by the pick functionality in order
to specify the location of a point. The picked point will then be taken
as the selected location.
