6 Expand Modeling. Right-click Work Planes, and then click Add Work Plane. The Create Work Plane dialog box is displayed. 7 Click Top, and then click OK. The Top work plane is created. 8 Expand Work Planes. Right-click Top Plane and then click Rename. Change the name to Rim. This work plane will become the rim elevation of the new structure. 9 Click Save Part Family. Click Yes. Stay in the Part Builder environment for the next exercise. The part is validated and saved. To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 2: Defining the Vault Top Section Geometry (page 707). Exercise 2: Defining the Vault Top Section Geometry In this exercise, you will build the top portion of the vault. This is a rectangular frame with a rectangular opening. You will build this portion with dimensions that can be modified from within AutoCAD Civil 3D when the part is in use. For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Understanding Part Builder. This exercise continues from Exercise 1: Defining the New Part in the Structure Catalog (page 706). 1 Expand Modeling ➤ Work Planes, right-click Rim ➤ Set View. The current view and UCS is set to match the work plane. 2 Right-click Rim ➤ Add Profile ➤ Rectangular. Click two points to draw a rectangle in the drawing area. A rectangular profile object is shown in the drawing. 3 Expand Rim, right-click Rectangular Profile in the Content Builder window and then click Rename. Enter Frame Outer Edge as the name. This name makes it easier to identify the component. 4 Repeat these steps to create another rectangular profile within the first one. Name it Frame Opening. Next you will establish some construction geometry and constraints to keep the opening positioned at the center of the box. Rectangular profiles representing the outer edge of the frame and the opening have been created. Exercise 2: Defining the Vault Top Section Geometry | 707
