VM Construct (Quest only)
Simulation»Construct Entity»Cube: Creates a cubic entity, given an XYZ origin and
the width, length and height of the cube. Once created, the cube can be further rotated to
the required orientation.
Simulation»Construct Entity»Cylinder: Creates a cylindrical entity, given an XYZ
origin and the radius and height of the cylinder. Once created, the cylinder can be further
rotated to the required orientation. The starting and ending radii can also be modified.
Simulation»Construct Entity»Cone: Creates a conical entity, given an XYZ origin,
base radius and height of the cone. Once created, the cone can be further rotated to the
required orientation. The starting and ending radii can also be modified.
Simulation»Construct Entity»Sphere: Creates a spherical entity, given an XYZ origin
and radius of the sphere. Once created, the sphere can be further rotated to the required
orientation. The “number of subdivisions” controls the smoothness of the sphere, with a
value 0 producing a (20 face) icosahedron, and increasing subdivisions increases the faces
by a factor of 3. A maximum of 6 subdivisions is permitted (very CPU intensive).
Simulation»Construct Entity»Revolved: Sweeps a 2D profile over a complete or partial
arc to produce a surface of revolution. The profile is defined as a series of (radius,
height) pairs of coordinates, which is swept around the Z-axis. Once created, the surface
can be further rotated to the required orientation.
Simulation»Construct Entity»Extruded: Sweeps a 2D closed profile along a vector to
produce an extruded surface. The profile is defined as a series of (x, y) pairs of coordinates,
joined at the start an end, which is extruded along a vector (positive Z by default)
for a specified distance. Once created, the surface can be further rotated to the required
orientation.
Simulation»Construct Entity»Mesh: Imports an STL mesh into the model. Once imported,
the mesh surface can be further scaled and rotated to its required size and orientation.
Simulation»Construct Entity Picture: Loads a bitmap image, given the point in the
model for the lower left corner of the image, and the X-axis width and Y-axis height of
the image in model coordinates. The picture can be rotated to the required orientation.
Simulation»Construct Axis»Linear Axis: Creates a linear axis, given a point of origin
and the direction and range of motion.
Simulation»Construct Axis»Rotary Axis: Creates a rotary axis, given a point of origin,
the rotation axis and an optional range of motion.
Simulation»Construct Axis»Curve Axis: Creates a curved axis, given a point of origin
and an open or closed 2D profile. The profile is defined as a series of (x, y) pairs of coordinates.
The curved axis can be further rotated the required orientation.
