Manipulate a volume

After creating space objects, you can modify or delete them. You can also merge several space objects to create a single and larger space object.

Modifying volumes

In general, you can move a volume's location in the model and change the placement points and faces of a volume. In some cases, movement and rotation can cause distortion in the volume's shape. When the points of the volume are associated to points in the model, such as grid intersections, it might not be possible to move or rotate the volume. You can drop the associative points of many types of volumes. Then you can move, rotate, and change the size and dimensions of the volume.

When you edit a space volume using PinPoint Command with relative tracking on, the software sets the PinPoint origin to the location of the selected handle. For volumes created using Place Volume by Two Points Command , you can modify the common faces between the volumes using Handles or by typing the Offset value.

Deleting volumes

You can delete volumes and other related objects. In some cases, deleting an object causes other objects to be deleted. For example, when you delete a drawing volume, the associated views are deleted.

Object status and your permissions affect whether or not you can modify or delete an object. A volume that is set to Approved cannot be modified or deleted. However, you may be able to modify or delete a volume that is set to Working.
