Solids Builder - Displacement

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

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

The Move activity has the following properties:

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

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