Drawing a Rectangle
Draw a rectangle (or square) by selecting two diagonally opposite corners.
- Click Draw > Rectangle.
- Select the first diagonal corner in one of the following ways:
- Click the point.
- Type the point’s coordinates in the text boxes in the status bar.
- Select the second corner of the rectangle in one of the following ways:
- Click the point.
- Type the coordinates of the point relative to the first diagonal corner in the dX, dY, and dZ boxes, where d is the distance from the previously selected point.
- Click OK.
To delete the selected point and start over, press Esc or click Escape Draw Mode on the shortcut menu.
If the Modeler option for editing properties of new primitives is checked, the Properties window appears, in which you can modify the object’s properties.
If the Automatically cover closed polyline option is selected in the Modeler Options window, the rectangle will be covered, resulting in a 2D sheet object. Otherwise, it will be a closed 1D polyline object.
