Sets options for placing a volume defined by three planar points and an elevation point.

Volume Properties

Displays the Properties Dialog, which allows you to set properties for the volume that you are placing.

Volume Point 1

Sets the first point for the definition of the volume.

Volume Point 2

Places the second point for definition of the volume, which determines the length of the volume along the X-axis.

The Place Volume by Four Points command supports rotated views, which you can use with volume drawing types in the Drawings and Reports task to create a rotated view on a drawing. The first and second points specified in the command determine the X-orientation of the view on the resulting drawing.

Volume Point 3

Defines the third point for the space to be created, which determines the length of the volume along the Y-axis, and defines a horizontal plane of the surface.

Volume Point 4

Sets the elevation of the new volume along the Z-axis.

Name

Displays the default name for the space (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.

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.
