BLC5
BLC5, XCENTER, YCENTER, WIDTH, HEIGHT, DEPTH
Creates a rectangular area or block volume by center and corner
points.
XCENTER,YCENTERWorking plane X and Y coordinates of the center of the rectangle or block face.
WIDTHThe total distance on or parallel to the working plane X-axis defining the width of the rectangle or block face.
HEIGHTThe total distance on or parallel to the working plane Y-axis defining the height of the rectangle or block face.
DEPTHThe perpendicular distance (either positive or negative based on the working plane Z direction) from the working plane representing the depth of the block. If
DEPTH= 0 (default), a rectangular area is created on the working plane.Note: If you are working with a model imported from an IGES file (import option set to DEFAULT), you must supply a value for
DEPTHor the command is ignored.
Notes
Defines a rectangular area anywhere on the working plane or a hexahedral volume with one face anywhere on the working plane by specifying the center and corner points. A rectangle will be defined with four keypoints and four lines. A volume will be defined with eight keypoints, twelve lines, and six areas, with the top and bottom faces parallel to the working plane. See the BLC4, RECTNG, and BLOCK commands for alternate ways to create rectangles and blocks.
