Prism

Copy a structural member of the type prism to a certain position

Depending on the type of definition of the prism to be copied which is automatically detected by the program, there are different respective input procedures. Moreover, when copying a prism, certain parameters can be modified, depending on the type of definition.

The transformations of the prism defined automatically and by the user can optionally be taken over when copying. The settings for the Position/Orientation defined in the property window of the prism are always taken over. Also, all docking points are taken over.

Boolean operations with other prisms defined for the prism are not considered when copying.

5. Confirm the input with OK.
