Primitives

To create a equiment and installations for a digital twin you can either import an existing model from a CAD or BIM system, or you can create a model from scratch by using the solid modeler. With the solid modeler, you can create complex objects and parts by dragging blocks that represent 3D objects and transformations. To create a new solid select the menu option Solids and select the Advanced mode. In the Advanced mode, you can set the color and material of primitives. The default grey color can be changed by inserting a color statement and picking a color from the palette. Instead of separate move commands for the direction you can now move directly in 3D by entering X, Y, and Z coordinates. The X corresponds to the red direction, the Y to the green direction, and the Z to the blue direction. The X-, and Y-movements are in the plane showing the grid and the Z-direction is upwards from the plane.
