Create a parting plane positioned relative to a volumetric box around selected surfaces or meshes. VisualCAD creates a volumetric box around the surfaces and/or meshes. The box is oriented to either the Construction Plane of the World Coordinate System (your choice). The parting plane will then be created at the top, middle, or bottom of that volumetric box (your choice).

Step 1
|
|
|
Step 2
|
|
Enter 'C' or 'W'.
'C' orients the parting plane parallel to the Construction Plane.
'W' orients the parting plane parallel to the World Coordinate System.
|
Step 3
|
|
Enter X and Y offsets into the Command Input Bar. These are incremental offsets that will enlarge the parting plane in the X and Y directions respectively. Negative values are not allowed.
|
Step 4
|
T  
M  
B  
|
Enter 'T', 'M', or 'B'.
'T' creates the parting plane at the top of the volumetric box.
'M' creates the parting plane at the middle of the volumetric box.
'B' creates the parting plane at the bottom of the volumetric box.
