New Assembly (3-D)

3-D Standard > New > Assembly

Use this function to create a new 3-D assembly. Assemblies are used in 3-D to add further structure to the model drawing. Parts of the type Assembly are dummy parts with isolated points and a special ID. They consist of precisely one main part – the so-called main assembly part - and the sub-parts assigned to this part.

For further specification of an assembly, you can assign particular part types to it, e.g.:

general assemblies,
bolted assemblies,
welded assemblies,
mullion assemblies,
glass assemblies,

etc.

If you want to fit the part as sub-part, click and select Sub-part . In this menu you will also find the Main assembly function. A main assembly is a special assembly to which all other assemblies and parts of the drawing are subordinated. A drawing can only contain one main assembly.

Please note:

Extensive information on assemblies, main parts and sub-parts can be found in the topic Drawing Objects of the HiCAD Basics Online Help chapter.
Before creating any 3-D parts we recommend that you read the information given in the topic Hints on Part Creation.
A drawing can contain only one main assembly.
