Create component model objects

• Start the component modeler as described in Start using the Component Modeller and select the type of the component to create if needed.
• Set the origin of the component (local origin) as described in About the local coordinate system. If you are modeling the component in Plant Modeller, do not set the origin near the limits of the design area.
• Edit the attributes as described in Attributes.
• If you are creating a component with parameters, define parameters as described in Parameters.
• Build the model using primitives and/or 3D shapes, as described in Primitive and Shape, respectively.
• For some primitives you have to define Sections.
• Add nodes as described in Node (excluding Structural Components).
• Save the component.
