Pos point top opening

The opening is created on the right side from the component insertion point.

Bottom panel

The opening is created from the startpoint of the wall.

Top panel

The opening is created from the endpoint of the wall.

Middle panel = bottom opening

The center of the wall is referencepoint. The opening is created to the left side.

The default material is defined in the Part material box in the Components settings in File menu > Settings > Options.

Name

Define a name that is shown in drawings and reports.

Class

Enter a number to group the parts that the component creates. By default, the class number affects the color in which the part is shown in model views.

Parameters tab
