Converting a Mass Element to a Space
Use this procedure to convert mass elements to spaces. Depending on whether
the converted mass element shape is an extrusion- type shape (box, cylinder,
extrusion) or a non-extrusion-type shape (pyramid, gable, freeform, etc.),
either an extruded 3D space or a 3D freeform space is generated by the
conversion.
1 Select the mass element to convert.
2 Click Mass Element tab ➤ Convert To panel ➤ Space .
3 When prompted to erase the original geometry, press ENTER to
keep the mass element, or enter y (Yes) to erase it.
Converting an Object to a Mass Element
Use this procedure to convert objects to Free Form mass elements. The resulting
Free Form mass element is a faceted approximation of the object. The
smoothness of curved edges is controlled by the FACETDEV variable.
This variable specifies the number of facets to display on curved AEC objects.
For more information, see Specifying the Display Resolution of Objects with
Facets on page 208.
1 Open a tool palette that has the Convert to Mass Element tool
and select the tool.
Alternatively, you can click Home tab ➤ Modify panel ➤
➤ Convert To Mass Element .
2 Select the object(s) that you want to convert to a Free Form mass
element, and press ENTER.
