  1. Click Create Multiple Volumes Command .

  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 the filter to use to restrict plate or grid selection in the Plate Filter box.

  6. Select the faces for the outer volume. The selected faces must define a closed boundary. Use Select Planes or Plates , Select Faces by 3D Range , or Select Any Existing Volume .

  7. Click Accept , and then click Select Inner Boundaries .

  8. If required, change the filter in the Plate Filter box.

  9. Select the faces for the inner boundaries, using Select Planes or Plates , Select Faces by 3D Range , or Select All Faces .

  10. Clear Bound if you want to modify the resulting volumes as a group.

  11. Click Finish.

    The software creates the volume.

  • If a plate contains an opening, the plate does not form a closed boundary.

  • You can click Volume Properties on the ribbon to modify the volume properties. See Compartment Properties Dialog, Ship Zone Properties Dialog, or Void Space Properties Dialog.

  • You can use Face to assist in specifying the outer boundaries and inner structure for the multiple volumes. See Add faces using the Face List. You can also click Accept or Reject on the ribbon as you select faces.

  • 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.

  • The software changes the input volume to a void space if the input volume has the same type as the output volumes. The existing, parent volume is not deleted, but the volume is changed to a void space if the parent is the same type as the children volumes.
