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.
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.
 
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.
Redefines the connectivity of a solid by reversing the solid’s positive parametric directions.and moving the location of the parametric origin.
Feature
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.
