Background

Grouping elements together within Prostructures is an important procedure. This will come handy when you are generating your 2D Structural drawings needed for fabrication.

 

Steps to Accomplish

   1. To create a group. Open the Administrate group command, then go to the Verify TAB.

• • Icon:

• • Command Line:  PS_GROUP

 

    The model is finished and you would like to proceed and position the all the members. Before you proceed you need to verify if you have all the elements properly grouped together. Below are different scenarios and settings when using the Verify Tool Command.

 

• • Verify using  Main Part as filter  - By using the Verify command and  the settings below. What we expect to see are all the main parts that are part of a group will be hidden. While the Main parts that are not part of the group will be displayed under the orphan layer. The single parts will still be displayed since the settings will only apply to Main Part.

 

  

• • Verify using Single Parts as filter  - By using the Verify command and  the settings below. What we expect to see are all the Single parts that are part of a group will be hidden. While the Single parts that are not part of the group will be displayed under the orphan layer. The Main parts will still be displayed since the settings will only apply to Single Parts.

 

 

• • Verify using  All Parts  as filter  - By using the Verify command and  the settings below. What we expect to see are all the Main parts and Single Parts  that are part of a group will be hidden. While the Main parts and Single parts that are not part of the group will be displayed under the orphan layer.
