Sets options for creating multiple volumes at one time.

Volume Properties

Displays the Volume Properties dialog, which allows you to set properties for the volumes that you are placing.

Select Grid and Elevation Planes

Allows you to select grid and elevation planes from the Workspace Explorer or the graphic view.

Finish

Generates the defined volumes and exits the command.

Reject Boundaries

Rejects the selected planes and allows you to continue the selection step.

Accept for Preview

Accepts the selected planes and graphically displays the resulting volumes.

Name

Displays the default name for the volumes (as dictated by the active name rule), and allows you to type a different name, if needed.

Type

Specifies the type of volume. Selecting More from the list opens the Select System Dialog from which you can select a volume type. The Type list is populated by the reference data and can be customized on a model-by-model basis. See the Space Management Reference Data Help.

Space folder

Specifies the space folder in which to place the volume. You can create new folders using Create Space Folder Command. Select More from the list to open the Select Space Folder Dialog from which you can select an existing folder that is not currently listed.

Enable Assoc Point Creation

Specifies that the points of the volume are associative points, if the software detects constraints for the points. Associative points affect the behavior of the volume during modification such as movement or rotation.

Disable Assoc Point Creation

Specifies that the points of the volume are not associative points, even if the software finds constraints. You can click this button during or after volume placement. For example, during placement, you can use the default behavior at first (associative), and then click the non-associative option part-way through the construction process. When you specify the non-associative option, the software switches its behavior from associative to non-associative. The points that you created earlier retain their associativity.

  • To indicate that the volume has associative points, the Enable Assoc Point Creation button is indented on the ribbon SP3D_BTN_volume_points.

  • To indicate that the volume has no associative points, the Enable Assoc Point Creation button is not indented on the ribbon, and the Disable Assoc Point Creation button is unavailable SP3D_BTN_volume_nopoints.

  • If multiple volumes are selected, the Enable Assoc Point Creation button is not displayed. However, if at least one associative point exists, the Enable Assoc Point Creation button displays on the ribbon SP3D_BTN_multiple_volumes.

Break Association

Deletes the relationship between the volume and an object. Objects associated with a volume highlight when the volume is selected. This option is only available when modifying a selected volume that has an object associated with it.
