Modify Primitives

In Equipment Editing mode, individual member primitives (including negative primitives) can be modified graphically using the standard movement handles.

Note: You do not need to be in the Equipment application to be able to use the graphical equipment editing facilities.

1. To enter equipment editing mode and edit an equipment primitive, enter Model Editor mode by selecting the Model Editor icon from the Model Editor Toolbar.

   

2. Right-click on the equipment and from the pop up menu and select Edit Equipment.

   Notice how all other elements except the selected Equipment become translucent in the display.

3. If the Equipment is built up using sub-equipment, then right-click on the equipment once again and from the pop up select Edit SubEquipment.

   

4. To leave equipment editing mode, right click on the active equipment and from the pop up select Exit Equipment Editor.

   

   Whilst in the equipment editing mode and primitive selected will display the Model Editor Modification handle. This modification handle works on the individual primitives in the same way as it worked on the equipment element, allowing linear, planar and rotational movements for each individual primitive.
