Global CAD Operations Examples
 
 

Split: Curve

1.  Pick a curve and any number of points on that curve.  Click .

2.  Select a curve and any number of points not on that curve, and click .

3.  Select a curve and click .  NOTE: The curve will only split at discontinuities with turn angles of 30 degrees or more.

Split: Surfaces

Select any number of points on or close to a single boundary of a surface.  Select the surface and click .  NOTE:  Although difficult to see, a point just below the second is selected just to the left of the bounding curve, on the interior of the surface.

 
 
 

Union

1. Pick two surfaces and click .

2. Pick two curves and click .

 
 
 

Curve-Curve Intersection

1. Select two curves and .

2. Select two curves that do not intersect and .  The curves are split at the closest points.

Curve-Surface Intersection

Select a surface and any number of curves and .

Surface-Surface Intersection

Select the flat surface and then all of the cylinders and .  NOTE:  Two parametric curves (one for each surface) are generated at each intersection.  Also, the quality of the intersection is dependent on the resolution of the surfaces.

Group-Group Intersection

Select two groups and .  Each group is denoted by a different color.  The results are the same as above.

 
 
 

Project/Form

1.  Pick a curve and a surface and .  NOTE:  The quality of the projection is dependent on the resolution of the surface being projected on.

2.  Pick a curve, vector, and any number of surfaces.  Click .
