Usage

Command flow

YY is the main command and starting point of the workflow.
It provides access to all modules and ensures consistent behavior.

The general sequence is:

• A temporary UCS is defined for positioning
• A profile or shape is selected
• Parameters are entered
• The geometry is created
• Optionally: position, region, or solid

Positioning (UCS)

Positioning defines the reference for creating geometry in 2D or 3D.

A temporary UCS controls:

• origin
• orientation
• extrusion direction

If the current UCS is already correct, press Enter to continue.

Basic controls

• Click: set origin
• Enter: accept current UCS
• X: define X-axis direction
• 3P: define UCS using three points
• F: align to a face and set origin

Axis tools

• ZX: map Z to X
• ZY: map Z to Y
• FXY: flip X and Y
• FZ: flip Z

Shape selection

After positioning:

• YP: parametric shapes (e.g. flat bar, box)
• YS: standardized profiles (e.g. HEA, UNP)
• YM: mathematical shapes
• YG: gears

Transform

After creation, choose:

• Enter: finish
• Position: move / rotate / flip
• Region: create region
• Solid: extrude to 3D solid

Position mode

• Move: L / R / U / D
• Rotate: P / N (15° steps)
• Flip: X / Y
• Enter: continue

Tips

• Relative input works inside positioning (e.g. @10,0)
• Face selection depends on view direction
• Adjustments can always be done afterwards
