Compartment Editor

This dialog allows you to create or edit the definition of any compartment, whether it is of a basic or merged type.

The mode of operation for the dialog is set using the appropriate option, Create or Edit. Depending on the mode, various options will be disabled as appropriate.

The Compartments: list is used to hold the compartments to be considered during an editing session. When editing, the Apply button and information displayed, acts on and refers to, respectively, only the currently selected items in this list.

Note
That for merged compartments, only the editing of a single compartment at a time is appropriate.

To populate the Compartments: list either, (a) select Get (from the pop-up menu) to interactively pick the required objects via the cursor in any of the views (use the space bar to end the selection process), or (b) drag the items from a tree view and drop them into the list.

Pop-up Menu

A pop-up menu is available in the compartments list with the following options:

• Get - used as described above to populate the list.

• Clear - used to clear the list.

• Compartment - create a new compartment via the interactive selection cycle of the constraining surfaces.

• Merged Compartment - create a new compartment via interactive selection of the compartments to be merged (using the SHIFT key when picking denotes a negative component).
