Volume objects define 3D entities by extending surface objects. To create a volume object, you need to connect two or more surface objects that have the same number of points.
Example Syntax:
| Code Block |
|---|
|
...
<O T="Volume"
...
...
</O> |
There are three methods to create a volume object:
By specifying a thickness value for a surface object
By connecting a line object and a surface object
By connecting two different surface objects.
Example:
| Code Block |

| <O N="VolumeObject1" T="Project" Category="3D Geometric Objects" TransAlignRule="Right">

<O N="Prsm1" T="Surface" Thickness="20" Y="80">
<O T="Point" X="0" Y="0" Z="0" />
<O T="Point" X="20" Y="0" Z="0" />
<O T="Point" X="20" Y="20" Z="0" />

<O T="Point" X="-w/2" Y="w/2" />
</O>
