Sets options for placing a drawing volume. Drawing views must be placed for drawing volume components before drawing volumes can be placed. The Place Drawing Volume by Four Points command uses a component and its view as input to determine a volume's maximum size, orientation, and name.

Volume Properties

Displays the Drawing Volume Properties Dialog, which allows you to set properties for the drawing volume.

Lock Plan Plane

Locks the second and third points on the plane as determined by the Z-elevation of the first point, thereby allowing you to place the first three volume points in the same elevation plane. You can disable the lock to place a volume with a bottom face that is not flat.

First Point

Places the first point of the drawing volume. You can place multiple volumes. Each time that you start a new volume with a first point click, the software stores the previous volume in the model. Before placing the first point, you can use the left and right arrows on the keyboard to move the pointer to any of the nine points on the footprint. You must move the pointer away from and then back to the footprint to see the new location.

Second Point

Places the second point of the volume. This point determines the length of the drawing volume along the X-axis.

Third Point

Defines the third point for the volume. This point defines a plane and determines the length of the drawing volume along the Y-axis.

Fourth Point

Sets the elevation of the new drawing volume along the Z-axis. After you place the fourth point of the drawing volume, you can continue to define points to place additional volumes.

Drawing Type

Displays a list of drawing volume components. You can define volume components in the Drawings and Reports task. Only those volume components to which you have access permissions higher than read-only appear for selection.
