Inquire
Use this option to display the data stored in a queried block model block. The block information such as centroid details, variable information, block ID, etc., displays through the Report Window.
Prior to using this option, you will need to load a block model onto the screen by using one of the following viewing options:
-
Block > Viewing > Blocks
-
Block > Viewing > Load Dynamic Model
-
Block > Viewing > Modify Dynamic Model
-
Block > Viewing > Display Regular Model
Instructions
On the Block menu, point to Viewing, then click Inquire.
Follow these steps:
-
Select the variables to report. You can either include all of the variables contained in the currently open block model or just a specific list.
-
Click OK.
-
Click on the block you want information about.
Tip: You can use the panning and zoom tools while navigating to the desired block.
-
Right-click anywhere on the screen to cancel the operation.
After you click on the block, information about the block will be displayed in the Report Window. If the block has been removed, or if there are no variables, then only coordinate information displays.
