Container

Create a “structural member” of the type “container” on the basis of a respective existing template (see Template / Container)

You can create an arbitrary number of containers from one particular container template at different positions which are all linked to the same template.

To create a new container from a template

1. Select the tool Container from template.

   Note: You can also directly drag & drop the wished extraction body template from the project navigation tree into the view window.

2. Optionally, edit the name and the description in the opening input window.
3. Select the container template from the drop-down menu in the same window from which you want to create the container, and confirm the input with OK.

   A new container is created in the menu Bodies in the project navigation tree.

4. For defining the Geometric Positions 1 and 2 of the container, analogously proceed as described in Prism in the steps 4 and 5.

After creating the container, there are available numerous tools for editing and modifying via its context menu (marking in the 3D View window).

Use the Property window to edit all performed inputs. Additionally, you can adjust there the position/orientation of the container (see Prism).
