Use the Create Gem Vector tool to create a gem vector with or without the vector artwork already drawn as part of your model. A gem vector is needed to add gems to your project.
When creating a gem vector without using another vector, it is created in the origin of the model area according to specified gem properties.
When creating a gem vector using a vector, the gem vector adopts the size, shape and position of the vector as its properties.
To create a new gem vector:
- On the
Gem Tools toolbar, click the
Create Gem Vector
button. The
Create Gem Vector panel is displayed.
- Click the gem shape you want to associate with the gem vector. This displays the colour options for the gem associated with the gem vector.
- Select the colour you want to apply to the gem. This displays the name and size boxes.
- In the Name box, enter a name for the gem setting.
- If you selected a
Box Radiant,
Heart,
Marquise,
Oval,
Pear,
Princess or
Round gem, click the
Standard list, followed by the standard that you want to use. If you select:
- Custom, enter the gem's dimensions in the Width , Height, and Depth boxes. The Size list is unavailable.
- Carat, click the Size list followed by the size you want to use. The Width , Height, and Depth boxes display the dimensions of the selected size.
If you selected a Brilliant, Emerald, Hexagon, Triangle or Trillion gem, enter its dimensions in the Width, Height, and Depth boxes.
- Click
Accept
to close the panel and create the gem vector. The gem vector is drawn on the
Gem Vectors vector layer. You are now able to create a gem from this vector.
