Solids Builder - Connector

Connector - creates a point given X, Y and Z ordinates, which can be read by OSNAP NODE:

The Connector activity has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name - name of the activity
    The point name must follow the naming rules
  • Show on Point - the connector must be associated with a point, choose it from the list
  • Object Visible - indicates whether or not the point should be drawn in the preview
  • Directional Vector - an vector that indicates the direction of the connector, or the vector normal to the plane where other devices will connect
    For example, a pipe, when connecting to the manhole, does not necessarily do so orthogonally, in this case, it may be necessary to "cut" the end of the pipe so that it fits better in the structure. In this case, use this property to calculate the cut angle
  • Connector Filter - text that will be used to filter the connector when choosing the closest one
    Use simple words, which efficiently indicate what type of linear device the connector should serve, for example:
    • ditch - for ditches or gutters
    • Pipe - for Pipes
    Consider that a collection box can connect with pipes, ditches, drains. Pipes are buried and trenches are not. The connector appropriate should be selected.

If the text gets too big/small, or the sphere that represents the point gets too big or small, use the buttons ( A, a, , ) at the top of the screen to change the preview

Below, an example of using OSNAP NODE in the created solid:

When launching the net, when approaching the insertion point of the structure to the beginning or end point of the pipe, the program shows that it can connect:
