Solids Builder - Displacement

Displacement - creates a clone of anything drawable at another position:

Note, the source item will not be modified. The geometry will be cloned and then moved to another position. This activity is for, for example, duplicating a model step into a staircase:

The Displacement activity has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name - name of the activity
    The activity name must follow the naming rules
  • Geometry to Transform - name of the geometry to be transformed
  • Vector - name of the displacement vector
    In AutoCAD, the MOVE command creates a vector from Base point (source) to Destination Point (destination). use the activity Vector Point to Point if needed
  • Object Visible - indicates whether or not the geometry should be drawn in the preview
    
    
• Dimension Displacement
  • Dimension Offset - VB expression that distances the dimension line
  • Dimension Displacement - indicates whether to draw a dimension on the displacement vector
  • Dimension Template - a text template that provides the dimension
    Use <> for the dimension (Example: Displacement = <>)

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
