Block - Edit

Purpose:

To create, modify, recreate, copy or delete Design and Production Blocks.

Prerequisites:

None.

Instructions:

All existing blocks are presented in a tree-like dialog. An existing block can be selected and modified. Properties that can be modified are the nominal limits and the offset value at each limit. Limiting Objects, Stored Planes, Reference Surface Objects and Surfaces, can be given to get the exact shape of the block. If a limiting object is selected, the nominal limit is adjusted based on the extents of the generated block volume. Finally, colour, symmetry and type of block can be updated. The changes are applied by using the function Save Block Data within the dialog.

The functions New, Copy, Recreate and Delete are activated by the right-button on the mouse. When recreating blocks, the user can select to recreate only the currently selected block or all blocks.

Options:

Not available.

Result:

Blocks may have been created, modified, recreated or deleted.
