in the process of creating VAV Box mvparts manufactured by PRICE. I've created
3d representations for the 6",8",10",12",14" VAV boxes. I have the boxes layed
out in a table fashion. Top row has the 6",8" & 10" boxes. The 2nd row has
the 12" & 14" boxes which sit directly below the 6" & 8" boxes
respectively. This layout is done for clarity purpose if needing to modify the
file. However, when I create my blocks and then mvparts, leaving the BASE
POINT X,Y,Z values at 0,0,0 as stated in the tutorial, when entering the
mvparts my origin/entry point is some distance away from my actual part. This
may be due to my initial spacing layout of my VAV boxes. I tried Moving the
actual origin of the drawing before creating each VAV block, but that causes
another problem when creating the mvpart. My connection vectors could not be
placed at the actual duct connector points for some reason. I've opened some
catalog files where the objects are actually sitting on top of one another,
but then they seamed impossible to edit. What is the best way to create a
series of parts in ONE file and still have them come in properly? Do these
parts have to sit directly on top of each other in the file, which then makes
it difficult to edit them in the future?
Regards,
