Offset Alignment Point for 3D Export

The Offset Alignment Point for 3D Export command can be used to specify the origin when exporting a drawing to 3D for collision detection. By default, the alignment point acts as the origin. Use this command if having the alignment point as the origin causes problems in the 3D export.

To offset the origin from an alignment point, go to
Ribbon: DM HVAC→Alignment Points→  Offset Alignment Point for 3D Export
Pulldown Menu: DM HVAC→Alignment Points→Offset Alignment Point for 3D Export

You will be prompted to specify the offset relative to the first alignment point inserted on the drawing.

Specify origin for 3D export / <Reset origin to alignment point location>:

Specify a point on the drawing to act as the origin when the drawing is exported. Press ENTER to reset the origin to the location of the alignment point.
