### Quick Start: Construct Toolbar

Quick Start Construct toolbar

When constructing elements, instead of processing picked points, PC-DMIS processes the characteristic points of already measured elements or elements you will measure.

The range of elements that you can construct is identical to the range of the elements that you can measure using the Quick Start Measure toolbar. The most frequent application is the construction of the circle passing through the centers of a circular pattern of holes or bosses.

Typically, the elements used to construct other elements are points and circles (or spheres) which you may or may not been measured and stored already. If you have not already measured a needed feature, you can measure it during the construction procedure.

The features you can construct are:

Point Features | Line Features

- Intersect Point

- Mid Point

- Projected Point

- Best Fit Line

- Intersect Line

- Mid Line

Plane Features | Circle Features

- Best Fit Plane

- Mid Plane

- Alignment Plane

- Best Fit Circle

- Intersect Circle

- Height Circle

- Diameter Circle

Slot Feature | Cylinder Feature

- Slot Feature
