You can create complex compartments from existing compartments by merging and subtracting them. Merge and subtract options can be combined to create more complex geometry. | ||
This task shows you how to create a complex compartment from two or more existing compartments. A complex compartment can have more than six faces. | ||
1. | With your document open, and after
creating two or more compartments: Click the Complex Compartment button . The Complex Compartment Definition dialog box displays. |
|
2. | Select
the existing compartments you want to combine.
Compartments are listed in the Geometry tab under the Compartments column. By default, compartments are merged. |
|
When creating
complex compartments, you can merge or subtract existing compartments,
combining your operations in any order.

3. | Click Preview to preview the complex compartment, then click OK. | |
The Results tab of the dialog box gives the volume, total area and center coordinates of the compartment previewed. This information can also be accessed by editing an existing complex compartment. | ||
