Creating gems
Use the Create Gems tool to

each of them. When creating gems in this way, a new assembly is also
created.

select the root Assembly or the assembly in the Project Tree with which you want to
associate the new assembly and gems.
- Select the gem vectors for which you want to create gems.
- On the Gem Tools
toolbar, click the Create Gems button. The Create Gems panel is
displayed.
- To create gems for each gem vector in your model, deselect
Create only selected gem vectors.
- In the Gem Set Name box,
enter the name for the new assembly created along with the gems.
- In the Start Height box,
specify the Z height at which you want to create the gems.
- If you do not want to wrap the gems around the composite
relief, deselect Position Around Ring.
- To orientate the gems in relation to the underlying
composite relief, select Lay On Composite
Relief.
- Click to create a preview of the gems in the 3D view.
- To edit the gems, adjust the settings on the Create Gems panel, and then click .
- Click to close the panel and
create a new assembly in the
Project Tree along with a gem for each selected
gem vector. Each gem in the Project Tree uses the name of its gem
vector.
