This tool places a construction point on a selected face by defining horizontal and vertical distances. It is intended to be used for creating setting out reference points, particularly on faces that is not vertical or horizontal.
Divide – divide selected edge with different setting out options
The divide tool creates a series of construction points along the selected edge. There are different setting out options to place the construction points.
Align selected entities
This tool allows for aligning any group or component instance by defining 3 basepoints and 3 target points. This is particularly useful for accurate placement of elements on non flat planes, for example placing a car on a slope, or placing
a hatch opening onto a sloping roof surface.
Perpendicular line
This tool draws an edge perpendicular to another edge, or a face.
Face on plane defined by 3 points
This tool draws a face on a plane defined by 3 points. This is useful in tracing a profile projected to a target plane, or creating a face by tracing along minor non-coplanar points.
Best fit face
This tool creates a face from a series of non-coplanar points. This is useful when patching up models with minor non-coplanar points.
Extrude along sloping curved path
This tool is specially meant for extruding a profile along a sloping curved path;
for example,car park ramp, railing of spiral staircase, etc. The tool will maintain vertical profile along the slope.
Extrude maintaining taper
This tool extrudes a selected face while maintaining any tapering tendency that is associated with the face.
Revolved surface
This tool creates surface by revolving along a selected profile along a defined axis. It has an added feature to scale profile as it’s being revolved. The scale factor refers to the ratio of the final distance of a point to the axis over its original distance.
Move vertex
This tool allows for flexible editing of individual vertex of a model.
This tool creates a radius fillet between 2 edges.
(note that the edges has to intersect)
Chamfer
This tool is similar to fillet tool except it creates chamfered corners.
Extend
This tool extends an edge to a face or another edge.
Offset
This tool offsets an edge at a distance from the edge.
Horizontal slice selected face
This tool slices faces connected to the selected face /faces at a horizontal level.
Slope selected edges
This tool allows the user to change the selected edges into one with continuous slope. It comes with a slope calculator that allows for calculation of gradients between degrees and ratio as well as actual height in relation to the length of the edges.
Linear array
This tool creates an array of group/component instance along a straight line.
Rectangular array
This tool creates 2 dimensional rectangular array of group and component instances.
Polar array
This tool creates array of group/component instance rotated around a center axis.
Path array
This tool creates array of group/component instance along a path
(a series of connected edges).
The groups/component instances are rotated to follow the direction of the path.
