Defines rectangular volumes based on a plane and offsets from that plane. When using this command, you identify one or more planes, and then specify two offset values from the plane. Finally, you drag a fence to define the limits of the volumes to be created. The software creates a volume for each selected plane.

This command is useful if you want to create drawings at periodic locations, for example, at the intersections of columns along a beam or at platforms along a distillation tower.

You cannot move or rotate volumes placed with this command.

By default, the software uses the global coordinate system to orient the rectangular volume relative to the placement points; however, you can use the Coordinate system list on the PinPoint ribbon to select a different active coordinate system. After the space object is placed, it maintains a local coordinate system that is used in future edits of the space object. The orientation of the space object does not change if the active coordinate system changes. See the Common Help.
