Sets options for placing a drawing volume. Drawing views must be placed for drawing volume components before drawing volumes can be placed. The Place Drawing Volume by Two Points command uses a volume component and its view as input to determine a volume's maximum size, orientation, and name.

Volume Properties

Displays the Drawing Volume Properties Dialog, which allows you to set properties for the drawing volume.

First Depth Point

Places the first point of the volume. You can place multiple volumes. Each time that you start a new volume with a first point click, the software stores the previous volume in the model. Before placing the first depth point, you can use the left and right arrows on the keyboard to move the pointer to any of the nine points on the footprint. You must move the pointer away from and then back to the footprint to see the new location.

Second Depth Point

Places the second point of the volume. After you place the second depth point of a volume, you can place another volume.

Handles

Allows you drag the volume surface to a new location. This step is optional. When you select a volume surface, the current surface location is used as the "from" point. When the "to" point is selected, the surface is moved to a projection of the "to" point along an axis normal to the surface being moved.

Drawing Type

Displays a list of drawing volume components. You can define volume components in the Drawings and Reports task. Only those volume components to which you have access permissions higher than read-only appear for selection.

Drawing View

Displays a list of drawing views in the template for the volume component. 

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.
