The user can create a distance sensor as follows.

•     Point, Direction, Distance

•    Point: Selects a point on a body to define the center of distance sensor.

•    Direction: Defines a direction of distance sensor.

•    Distance: Defines a range of region to measure output.

•    Note: The user should define the sensing target entity by using Distance Sensor property page.

•     Body, Point, Direction, Distance

•    Body: Selects a body to define the parent body of distance sensor.

•    Point: Selects a point to define the center of distance sensor.

•    Direction: Defines a direction of distance sensor.

•    Distance: Defines a range of region to measure output.

•    Note: The user should define the sensing target entity by using Distance Sensor property page.

•     Assembled Body, Point, Direction, Distance

•    Assembled Body: Selects an assembly as a target entity.

•    Point: Selects a point to define the center of distance sensor.

•    Direction: Defines a direction of distance sensor.

•    Distance: Defines a range of region to measure output.

•     Body, Assembled Body, Point, Direction, Distance

•    Body: Selects a body to define the parent body of distance sensor.

•    Assembled Body: Selects an assembly as a target entity.

•    Point: Selects a point to define the center of distance sensor.

•    Direction: Defines a direction of distance sensor.
