11 Press OK to exit the Model Parameters dialog box. Save the part. The part updates to reflect any dimension changes. If desired, change your view to isometric, and your visual style to conceptual, to see how the part is progressing. 12 Change the Autolayout location to the center of the Rim circular profile. This ensures that the structure is inserted properly into your drawing. Select Layout Data, right-click and then click Select Placement Point. The command line prompts you to Select a Placement Point. 13 Use your node OSNAP to select the point at the center of the Rim work plane circular profile. A small, cyan marker is displayed at that location. This marks the structure insertion point. 14 Save the part. To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 4: Verifying the New Part (page 673). Exercise 4: Verifying the New Part In this exercise, you will verify that the new part reacts as expected in a drawing by opening a drawing, regenerating the structure catalog, and accessing the new part from a Part List. For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Understanding Part Builder. This exercise continues from Exercise 3: Matching Offsets and Dimensions to Parameters (page 669). 1 At this point, it is important to determine how the new part reacts in a drawing situation. Exit the Part Builder utility by clicking the small X in the upper right corner of the Part Browser. (The Part Browser is the left pane portion of the Part Builder application window.) If you are prompted to save the part, click Yes. Part Builder closes. 2 Open the tutorial drawing called Part Builder-1a.dwg, and enter PartCatalogRegen in the command line. Enter S to indicate you want to regenerate the structure catalog. Press Enter. Click OK, and then press ESC to exit the PARTCATALOGREGEN command. A drawing opens with a sample surface, and the part catalog regenerates. 3 Create a new Parts List called "Test Parts List". The Parts List dialog box is displayed.
