[CIM/Sys. Definition] What is the origin point when creating a coping and basic model during copying a pier?

Question 

I don't understand the process of defining the Origin Point when creating a coping and foundation model while T-shape Pier Tutorial.

 

Answer 

In order to create a General Member or Path Linked Entity using User Section, it is necessary to set the origin point and axis direction where the origin of User Section will be located.

 


As a setting method, you can set by clicking the origin / X-axis / Y-axis once with the 3 Points function, or you can directly input the origin and axis direction vector.
(It sets the X-axis and Y-axis of the User Section. The input value is meaningless, and it is important to select the appropriate direction.)

In Follow-Up, the final position is set by directly inputting the origin after setting an arbitrary origin (0,0,0 in Follow-up) and an axis direction by utilizing the 3 Points function.

If there is a specific criterion for the origin of 3 Points and can be selected directly, you can select the position as the origin of 3 Points.

Additionally, please note that objects can be created only when the Assign button is clicked after the user section's origin and axis direction settings are complete.
