Select
Selects an existing geometric construction object, such as a curve or surface, to edit or delete.
Add
Selects geometry that defines a new geometric construction. Used with the numbered options listed below.
Delete
Deletes a selected geometric construction.
Cancel
Cancels the macro, closes the geometric construction ribbon and the Geometric Construction Palette Dialog, and then returns to the main command ribbon.
Close
Verifies the validity of values selected for the options, closes the geometric construction ribbon and the Geometric Construction Palette Dialog, and then returns to the main command ribbon. The selected values are still available when you click again on the main command ribbon.
Geometric Construction
Displays the current geometric construction interface. You can also select a different, recently-used interface or More.
More
Opens the Select Geometric Construction dialog. For a new geometric construction, all interfaces delivered with the software are available. For an existing geometric construction, only similar interface types are available.
Geometric constructions displaying only in the Select Geometric Construction dialog are not intended for general usage. You should first consult your Hexagon support representative before using these geometric constructions.
1
Specifies a coordinate system used to orient the line.
Specifies a starting point for the line. If no starting point is selected, the origin of the coordinate system is used. This value is optional.
Reject
Clears the selections for the current step.
Accept
Accepts the current selections and displays a preview.
Continue
Completes the geometric construction definition. The ribbon continues to display so that you can define parameters for additional geometry.
The geometric constructions are not created and saved to the model until you click Finish on the main command ribbon to create the model object.
Looking Axis
Specifies the coordinate system axis of the line. The line is place in the direction of the axis. Select X, Y, or Z.
Length
Defines the length of the line.
Orientation
Specifies the direction of the line from the starting point. Select Direct to place the line in the positive axis direction. Select Indirect to place the line in the negative axis direction.
Orientation is ignored if Centered is selected for Justification.
Justification
Specifies the placement of the line relative to the starting point. Select Centered to center the line on the starting point. Select Not Centered to place the line according the value selected for Orientation.
