Creates a Ring Wall (WALL) which is a soft type element of a Generic Section (GENSEC), used to represent a wall created by extruding a catalogue profile, spine shape which follows a circular arc (up to a full circle).
The Circle Definition part of the Ring Wall window, defines whether the wall is a full circle or a semi circle.
You must then select how the ring wall is created, from the Create Methods part of the Ring Wall:
|
|
Through 3 points |
Click to create a ring wall which passes through three defined points. You are prompted to define three points in the 3D view. |
|
|
Derived from a picked item |
Click to create an offset ring wall on a structure that already exists. You are prompted to pick an item in the 3D view. |
|
|
Fillet |
Click to create a ring wall with a specified radius between two picked tangent lines. |
|
|
Tangential to 3 lines |
Click to creates a ring wall which forms the tangents to three straight lines. |
|
|
Fixed radius, tangential to a circle |
Click to create a ring wall with a specified radius which touches another ring wall at one point. |
|
|
Fixed radius, passing through 2 points |
Click to create a ring wall with a specified radius which passes through two picked points and curves towards a picked direction. |
|
|
Tangential to a circle |
Click to create a ring wall which intersects a ring wall that already exists. |
|
|
Tangential to 2 circles |
Click to create a ring wall which touches two other ring walls tangentially. |
|
|
Derived diameter |
Click to create a ring wall from three defined points. |
|
|
Derived diameter on working plane |
Click to create a ring wall on the working plane. The wall is created irrespective of the distance above the working plane and the wall parameters are defined. |
|
|
Fixed diameter |
Click to create a ring wall with a fixed diameter around a single point. |
|
|
Fixed diameter on working plane |
Click to create a ring wall with a fixed diameter around a single point. The wall is created on the working plane irrespective of the distance the single point is above the working plane. |
|
|
Derived radius |
Click to create a ring wall to a predetermined radius. |
|
|
Derived radius on the working plane |
Click to create a ring wall to a predetermined radius. The wall is created on the working plane irrespective of the distance the predetermined radius points are above the working plane. |
|
|
Fixed radius |
Click to create a ring wall with a fixed radius. |
|
|
Fixed radius on the working plane |
Click to create a ring wall with a fixed radius. The wall is created on the working plane irrespective of the distance the fixed radius points are above the working plane. |
|
|
Define explicitly |
Click to create a ring wall explicitly. A Confirm window displays: Click OK to replace the Define Ring Section, the Create Wall (Ring) window displays. Or click No to close the Confirm window. Refer to Create Ring Wall Explicitly for further information. |
