Modify a volume by points

This animation hides the dimension and length labels. You can show or hide these labels on selected objects in your model using the ALT+D graphic view Keyboard Shortcuts.

  1. Select an existing volume in the graphic view or from a Space Folder in the Space Hierarchy Explorer to open the Modify Volume By Points Controls.

  2. Click Volume Manipulator to display handles, dimensions, and the association status on the selected volume.

    ModifyTwoPoints_Placement Inputs

    • Because the selected volume was placed without using Assoc Enabled Com_Link ICON, each point that defines the volume shows that the association is not enabled. If you place a volume using Assoc Enabled Com_Link ICON, you need to break the association for each point that defines the volume before modifying it.

    • You can define the dimensions for the modified volume using the Modify Volume By Points Controls, or type the values in the dimension text boxes in the graphic view.

  3. Click the handle that corresponds to the part of the volume to manipulate.

    The handle displays in a magenta color, and the corresponding volume face highlights. The volume face is dynamically attached to your cursor.

  5. Click to release the handle.

    The software displays a green wireframe around the modified volume, and the handle is no longer attached to the cursor.

  6. Complete the placement:

    • Select Finish (CTRL + ENTER) to save your changes and exit the command.

    • Select Finish and Modify Finish Modify ICON (CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER) to save your changes and then start the modification of that object.
