Specifying the correct location for the default insertion point is a requirement for all items and sub assemblies. If the default insertion point is not configured or applied correctly, the item or sub assembly insertion point may not match the insertion point of the cursor location in the model as expected. This can produce undesired results. It is important to plan the precise insertion point location so that items, including sub assemblies, are inserted as expected when used for design or coordination purposes within a building information model.
The Edit Sub Assembly dialog displays.
To locate the required default insertion point, the basic principle is to select and move the item to specify a co-ordinate location (@ X=0 Y=0 Z=0).
For this example shown below (Transfer Grille Box Inc Plenum Box Top Entry), the default insertion can be located on the face node of the Transfer Grille item.
This moves the selected item(s) to the appropriate relative coordinate location.
