Modeling Opening Trims
You should take the following things into consideration when
modeling opening trims:
- The origin of the bottom trim must be at the lower left corner
of the opening.
- The origin of the top trim must be at the upper left corner of
the opening.
- The origin of the side trim must be at the bottom right corner
of the opening (automatically mirrored when used as the left-side
trim).
- LENGTH is the length variable, which is either the width or the
height of the opening, depending on the trim type.
- The end overlap variables for the side trim are OVL_SILL and
OVL_TOP, and for the other trims OVL_LEFT and OVL_RIGHT.
- The width variable of the trim is WIDTH and the depth variable
DEPTH.
- The trim may not move in relation to the origin when the
dimensions change.
- The material category of the trim is TRIM.
Defining the Cutting Shape of a Trim
You can define a cutting shape for a trim to cut a wall in the
building model.
- Create the trim as an assembly model.
- Create a part of its own for the cutting shape.
- When you extrude the sketch defining the shape, select the
check box Tool in the extrusion properties.
The program highlights the cutting shape in
color.
Note
- You can show and hide the machining features in the model (also
in the building model) by pressing the M key.
