Adding a Part

The Part object is used to add various simple 3D pieces that can be used alone or as part of a custom model. Available parts include cones, boards, and spheres. Custom parts can be imported to the part library by using the Model Creation Wizard.

To add a Part:

1.   Click the Add Part button that is found near the top of the screen under the Modeling tab.

2.   Click the picture of the default part that appears to the right of the screen, and then select the part you would like to use.

3.   Click on your design where you wish to place the part.

The picture below illustrates several different parts shown in the Perspective view.

Tips:

•      There are many different sizes of boards included in the library of parts. The boards are sized using accurate dimensions, meaning that a “4x4” will measure 3.5 by 3.5 inches.
