X - Where will the balcony face begin along the X Axis? (enter 100’)
Y - Where will the balcony face center along the Y-Axis? (leave at 0)
Z - How high will the balcony be at its front edge on the Z-Axis? (enter 25’).
Note that the offset in the Z axis is based on height of the previous surface.
Since we raised our main surface on the Z axis by 3.5’, the cloned surface will
also be increased by a further 3.5 feet to whatever value we enter. If we enter
25’, the balcony will raise 28.5’.
Hit the OK button and the Balcony will be added to the model.
2. Define the Properties of the cloned surface.
You will notice in the model that the Length of the balcony is still 200’ which is
not what we want. Select the new surface in the Project Explorer window which
will reveal all the data of that surface in the Properties pane.
We should be happy with the name and origin of the surface because we defined
these when we made the balcony, but you are able to alter them if needed.
Length - Reduce the length of the balcony to 100’
Width - The width can remain the same.
Inclination Angle - Set the inclination angle to 10 degrees.
You can now choose to Hide and / or Lock the balcony.
