Use the clipping plane to remove view blocking geometry.
-
Orient the model to make the spot projection normal to the screen.
-
On the main window toolbar, click
(Clip assembly with plane).
- Optional:
Click on a part face to orient the clipping plane (parallel to selected
face).
-
Move the clipping plane to the desired depth by doing one of the
following:
- Hold down the Control button and move the mouse
scroll wheel to move the plane faster.
- Hold down the Shift button and move the mouse
scroll wheel to move the plane slower.
-
In the Project Tree, click on
the Assembly branch.
-
In the Assembly workbench toolbar, click .
-
In the dialog, click the desired spot shape tab.
-
Specify the spot dimensions.
-
Position the spot in the modeling window by doing one
of the following:
- Right-click and drag to move the spot on the model. Left-click and drag
to rotate the spot on its center.
- Define the X, Y, and Z coordinates for Coordinates of spot
center projection. Define the Angle
to rotate the spot.
After the spot is dimensioned and positioned, it is projected on the
model surface in the view direction (normal to the screen), and the projected
domain is the actual geometry of the spot used in the analysis.
-
Define where the spot will be applied.
-
Click OK.
The spot appears in the in the Project tree.
