Geometry

Source file: query-geometry.htm

The geometry query measures the angles and distances between primitives (points, lines and facets). The first primitive selected is the reference against which all subsequent selections are measured. Measurements can be made between different primitive types and results reported depend on the combination of primitive types:

  Point Edge Facet
Point Distance    
Edge Distance Distance and angle  
Facet Distance Angle and intersection coordinates Angle

  1. On the Query ribbon tab, go to the Geometry group and select Geometry to launch the query geometry dialog in the status bar.

  2. From the drop-down menu, select the type of primitive to be used as the reference.

  3. Select the reference primitive.

    Note:  Snap modes are available for selecting primitives.

  4. From the drop-down menu, select the next primitive type.

  5. Select the next primitive, which will be measured against the reference.

    6. The measurement is displayed in the view window and measurement data are displayed in the report window.

  6. Continue selecting primitives to be measured. Results will be added to the report window.

  7. When finished, click to complete the operation.
