Set object to solid or void

You use this function to set all trisolations in an object to a consistent direction. Before running SET OBJECT DIRECTION, you must validate the trisolations.

To run this function: Choose Solids > Validation > Set object to solid or void, or...

  • In the Function Chooser, type SET OBJECT DIRECTION, and press ENTER.

Fields on the Set triangle directions for objects form

Field Description
Layer name The name of the active layer.
Object The number of the object that contains the trisolations that you want to set direction for. If you leave this field blank, all the objects in the current layer are processed.
Solid
  • Selected: The trisolation direction is set to solid.
  • Cleared: The trisolation direction is set to void.

Output

The specified trisolations have their direction set to either solid or void.

Note: If you have defined a range of trisolations to be processed, or you are processing all the trisolations in an object, and you have not input an Object 1 in the current layer, you might receive a warning that Object 1 does not contain any trisolations. You can ignore this message (Surpac creates an Object 1 as a default object).
