Create Primitives - worked example

After creating an equipment item, the 3D graphical representation needs to be created using primitives.

1. Using the Design Explorer, navigate to the equipment element and select Create > Primitives from the main drop-down menu.

   

   The Primitives form appears.

2. If the Parameters option is clicked this displays the attribute that can be applied to the primitive element (that is, Height and Diameter).

3. To close the form select the X icon in the top right hand corner of the form.

   

4. Key in the Height 500 and the Diameter 250 and click the Create option.

   The Primitives form now expands to display the Datum, Position, Rotate, and Align with P-Point functions and the cylinder is displayed in the graphical view.
