Inserting a solid, defining geometric constraints
The box was selected and transformed into the current location. Instead of the definitive insertion, a geometric constraint definition was selected. The box will be added to a selected root solid. Geometric constraints can be defined only within a Boolean tree. Constrained location is the location of element’s insertion point.
Selecting an axis the constraint is defined for
Selecting a type of constraint
Selecting a patch - this type of constraint fixes the movement of objects along the corresponding axis. The object is fixed at the intersection of the axis and the selected patch. The rest of axes are constrained similarly in the next step of this example.
All defined constraints are confirmed. In the upper part of the Constraint panel there are icons displaying constrained movements relative to axes X, Y and Z.
