LET'S EXPLORE THE DIFFERENT METHODS OF CREATING RECTANGLES.
GO TO CREATE A RECTANGE. WE'LL USE THE PICK ON CAD MODEL FIRST.
MAKE SURE YOUR CAD MODEL IS VISIBLE.
SIMPLY CLICK ON AN EDGE OF A RECTANGLE TO CREATE ONE.
BE CAREFUL TO PICK YOUR INTENDED SIDE OF THE PART (EX. TOP VS. BOTTOM OF PART).
LET'S EXPLORE THE ANCHORING METHOD NEXT.
PLACE 2 POINTS IN THE CORNER OF 1 SIDE, THEN PLACE A POINT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE.
NOTE: THERE IS A LOT OF USER DIFFERENCE WHEN USING THIS METHOD, ESPECIALLY WITH SCAN DATA.
ALSO, YOU CAN CLICK THE 'HOW TO' BUTTON FOR A VISUAL REPRESENTATION.
NEXT, LET'S USE THE NUMERICAL METHOD.
THIS IS A BIT MORE COMPLEX THAN OTHER FEATURES.
ENTER THE X,Y,Z FOR YOUR CENTER POINT, THE I,J,K FOR THE LENGTH ORIENTATION,
THEN THE I,J,K FOR YOUR AXIS ORIENTATION. FINALLY CLICK CREATE.
NEXT, WE'LL LOOK AT THE PROBING METHOD.
NOTE: MOST CUT OUT, AND CIRCULAR-TYPE, FEATURES SHOULD BE CONSTRAINED TO A PLANE.
SO, WE'LL CREATE A PLANE THAT WE WOULD USE.
IF YOU'RE CONNECTED TO A PROBING DEVICE, YOU COULD PROBE THAT FEATURE.
THEN ASSIGN THE PLANE AS THE CONSTRAINING PLANE.
NEXT, LET'S USE THE FIT METHOD.
YOU CAN CHOOSE THE FIT METHOD: BEST-FIT, MINIMUM FIT, OR MAXIMUM FIT.
THERE ARE SEVERAL SUB-METHODS YOU CAN EXPLORE AS WELL.
ALSO, YOU CAN, AND USUALLY SHOULD, CONSTRAIN THE RECTANGLE TO A PLANE.
WHEN YOU HIT CREATE IT WILL ALERT YOU TO SELECT THE DATA YOU WANT TO USE TO FIT THE RECTANGLE.
IF YOU PRE-SELCT THE DATA, THE OPERATION WILL TAKE PLACE RIGHT AWAY.
SELECT THE DATA YOU WANT TO REPRESENT YOUR RECTANGLE.
BE CAREFUL TO USE THE CORRECT SELECTION TOOLS AND SELECT
A GOOD REPRESENTATIONOF THE FEATURE.
THEN CLICK CONTINUE.
FINALLY, LET'S EXPLORE THE FROM OBJECTS METHOD.
THERE IS ONLY ONE SUB-METHOD - AVERAGE OF RECTANGLES.
WE HAVE TO HAVE MULTIPLE RECTANGLES, SO WE'LL CREATE A COUPLE.
THEN, WE'LL PRE-SELECT THE RECTANGLES AND CREATE A RECTANGLE
FROM OBJECTS, AVERAGE OF RECTANGLES.
YOU'LL NOTICE WE HAVE CREATED A DEPENDANT FEATURE.
