Creating gems

Use the Create Gems tool to create a batch of gems, provided that you have already created gem vectors for each of them. When creating gems in this way, a new assembly is also created.

To create a one or more gems using gem vectors:

  1. In the Project panel, select the root Assembly or the assembly in the Project Tree with which you want to associate the new assembly and gems.
  2. Select the gem vectors for which you want to create gems.
  3. On the Gem Tools toolbar, click the Create Gems button. The Create Gems panel is displayed.
  4. To create gems for each gem vector in your model, deselect Create only selected gem vectors.
  5. In the Gem Set Name box, enter the name for the new assembly created along with the gems.
  6. In the Start Height box, specify the Z height at which you want to create the gems.
  7. If you do not want to wrap the gems around the composite relief, deselect Position Around Ring.
  8. To orientate the gems in relation to the underlying composite relief, select Lay On Composite Relief.
  9. Click to create a preview of the gems in the 3D view.
  10. To edit the gems, adjust the settings on the Create Gems panel, and then click .
  11. Click to close the panel and create a new assembly in the Project Tree along with a gem for each selected gem vector. Each gem in the Project Tree uses the name of its gem vector.
