Add Structured Item

Building a part’s specification tree by hand gets old fast, same Bodies, same Geometrical Sets, same naming, click after click. Add Structured Item skips the repetition: pick a predefined structure and it lands in your tree fully built, named, colored, and organized in one shot, the exact same way, every single time.

What it does

• Inserts nested hierarchies, Bodies, Geometrical Sets, and Ordered Geometrical Sets are created together, in the right order, at the right levels.
• Applies graphical properties automatically, color, opacity, line width, line style, and point style are set the instant each element is created, not patched in afterward.
• Updates instead of duplicating, re-running a structure recognizes what’s already there and reuses it, so your tree never ends up with three “Machining” bodies.
• Wires up Boolean operations, Add, Assemble, Remove, and Intersect come pre-configured into the hierarchy, no manual setup required.
• Keeps naming under control, the one renameable element in each structure enforces your naming convention, with automatic case formatting on the fly.
• Standardizes every part, automatically, same structure, same context, every time, whether it’s your own project or your entire team’s.

How it works

Pick a structure from the list, rename the key element if needed, optionally point it at an existing parent in the tree, and hit OK. The whole hierarchy, bodies, sets, colors, Booleans, and all, appears exactly where you told it to.

Where it fits

Included in the Professional tier. The value compounds with scale: once every part follows the same structure, nobody has to guess how it was put together, a freelancer keeps their own work tidy, and a full team stays on the same page without a single conversation about it.
