From Panel

Purpose

To create an RSO from existing panels.

Prerequisites

The involved panels must exist.

Instructions

This function, is used to create or update an RSO from existing panels in cases where no internal surfaces are already available.

1. First a number of panel instances are picked.

2. Then the name of the RSO can be defined in a dialog together with an option to update the involved panels to depend on the RSO for their location.

   The extension of the RSO is fetched from the panel boundaries.

The RSO is composed of a number of connected, limited subplanes. It can also contain references to plane panels. From the other end a plane panel can refer to an RSO for its position in space. This makes it possible to refer to the RSO rather than the panel in a number of cases. The advantage of referring an RSO is that the reference is stable even if the RSO initially contains jumbo panels that are later subdivided into panels for detail design.

Options

Not available.

Result

The RSO is created.
