Object | Method | Description |
Point | • Finds groups of points which are within global model tolerances of each other and for each group, equivalences the points into one point. | |
Curve | • Break | • Breaks curves into n+1 curves at either a point location or at a parametric coordinate location. |
• Blend | • Creates curves from two or more curves or edges by forcing a first derivative continuity across the boundaries. | |
• Creates curves that represent a specified chained curve. | ||
• Extend | • Extends or lengthens one curve or edge or a pair of curves or edges, either through a straight line extension, or through a continuous curvature. | |
• Merge | • Creates one or more curves from an existing set of curves or edges. Some of the original curvature may be lost. | |
• Refit | • Creates Uniformly parameterized Piecewise Cubic curves from existing curves. | |
• Reverse | • Redefines the connectivity of a curve or edge by reversing the curve’s or edge’s positive parametric direction. | |
• Trim | • Shortens the length of a curve or edge at either a point location or a parametric coordinate location on the curve. | |
Surface | • Break | • Breaks a surface or a solid face into two or four smaller surfaces at either a point, curve or surface location, or at a parametric coordinate location on the surface. |
• Blend | • Creates surfaces from two or more surfaces or solid faces by forcing a first derivative continuity across its boundaries. A parametric green surface is required for this operation to work. | |
• Creates surfaces that represent the specified B-rep solid. | ||
• Recreates a specified surface either by closing a gap between it and another adjacent surface; or by creating an additional vertex and converting the surface into a trimmed surface. | ||
• Extend | • Extends or lengthens a surface: by a percentage in the U and/or V parametric directions, to its intersection with a curve, plane, point or another surface, or by a fixed length. Also extends a pair of surfaces to their intersection. | |
• Refit | • Creates a non-uniformly parameterized network of bicubic patches from existing surfaces. | |
• Reverse | • Redefines the connectivity of a surface or solid face by reversing the surface’s or face’s positive parametric directions. | |
• Sew | • Combines Edit, Point, Equivalence and Edit, Surface, Edge Match functionality to equivalence surface vertices and merge edges. | |
Solid | • Break | • Breaks a solid into two, four or eight smaller solids either at a point, curve or surface location, or at a parametric coordinate location. |
• Blend | • Creates solids from two or more solids by forcing a first derivative continuity across its boundaries. | |
• Creates surfaces that represent a specified B-rep solid. | ||
• Refit | • Creates uniformly parameterized Piecewise Cubic solids from existing solids. | |
• Reverse | • Redefines the connectivity of a solid by reversing the solid’s positive parametric directions.and moving the location of the parametric origin. | |
Feature | • Suppress | • Displays the list of CAD features associated with the geometry that can be suppressed from the geometric model |
• Displays the list of CAD features associated with the geometry that can be unsuppressed from the geometric model. | ||
• Displays the list of CAD features associated with the geometry whose parameters can be edited to be used to regenerate the geometric model based on the new parameter values. |
