Give each subassembly a specific, meaningful name to make it easy to identify
when you are assigning targets. Meaningful names also help you identify
subassemblies in the Subassemblies collection in Prospector.
This exercise continues from
to a Corridor Assembly
Omit the daylight link from the cut conditional subassemblies
NOTE This exercise uses Assembly-2a.dwg with the modifications you made in the
previous exercise, or you can open Assembly-2b.dwg from the
folder
(page 819).
1 In the top viewport, select the DaylightBasin subassembly that is attached
to the Cut 0.00 : 10000.00 conditional subassembly. Right-click. Click
Subassembly Properties.
2 In the Subassembly Properties dialog box, on the Parameters tab, for
Daylight Link, set the Default Input Value to Omit Daylight Link. Click
OK.
If you attach a ConditionalCutOrFill subassembly to a standard daylight
subassembly, omit the daylight link in the host subassembly. If the
daylight link is included in the host subassembly, then daylight links will
be created for both the host subassembly and the attached subassembly.
Rename the subassemblies
1 In the top viewport, select the red assembly marker. Right-click. Click
Assembly Properties.
2 In the Assembly Properties dialog box, click the Construction tab.
Notice that the subassemblies you added to the left side of the assembly
display the default names followed by the side to which they were added.
When you build a complex assembly, you should assign meaningful
names to the subassemblies so that you can easily identify them when
setting corridor targets. This is also a good practice when a drawing
contains multiple assemblies.
For more information, see the
(page 430) exercise.
In the following steps, you will give the subassemblies more meaningful
names.
