  1. Click Place Volume by Select Set Command on the vertical toolbar.

  2. Specify a name for the volume in the Name box.

  3. Select a volume type from the Type list.

    The list in the Type box provides only the last few volumes selected from the catalog. Choosing More displays the Select Volume Dialog, which allows you to select any type of volume found in the catalog database.

  4. Select a folder from the Space folder list.

    • The default folder is the last folder used when creating a volume. In a new session file, the default is the model (the root level of the space hierarchy).

    • Assigning volumes to a space folder organizes volumes in the current model. See Create Space Folder.

  5. Select one or more linear objects in the model, such as grid lines, edges, or connections. Multiple linear objects must also be coplanar. You can select the objects using a filter if necessary.

  6. Type a value in the Volume Height box.

    A preview of the volume displays.

  7. Click Finish.

    The software creates the volume.

  • The Type list is populated by the reference data and can be customized on a model-by-model basis. For more information on customizing compartmentation reference data, see Compartmentation Reference Data.

  • By default, the global coordinate system is used to orient the rectangular volume relative to the placement points; however, you can use the Coordinate System list on the PinPoint ribbon prior to placement to select a different active coordinate system. A placed volume object maintains a local coordinate system that is used in future edits of the volume object. The orientation of the volume object does not change if the active coordinate system changes.
