For example, you can pick
â– either edge or the centerline of a wall segment to constrain.
â– the object edge, X or Y axis, or bounding box edge of a mass element to
constrain.
â– the object edge, centroid, or bounding box edge of a structural member
to constrain.
As you select the AEC object to constrain, press TAB to cycle through your
options. Valid selectable object entities are highlighted with a red line.
Working with the Coincident constraint
The Coincident constraint constrains 2 points to coincide. The constrained
points can lie directly on an AEC object, or the extension of an AEC object.
The Coincident constraint also works between appropriate AEC objects and
AutoCAD objects, such as a wall segment and a line.
Use a Coincident constraint to anchor 2 column grids together.
1 Select a column grid.
2 Click Column Grid tab ➤ Parametric panel ➤ Coincident .
3 Select a corner point on the first column grid to constrain.
The selected point is shown with a red circle and X through its
center.
