This option enables the system to offset what it can and approximate the surface for areas it cannot offset. There is also an option for Approximate Offset within the Special Handling dialog box. The Special Handling dialog box provides you with the option of excluding failing surfaces from the offset operation.
Controlled Fit – Enables you to select a coordinate system, and manually control whether the surface is translated in the X, Y, and Z axes.This fit type is useful in cases where the Normal to Surface fit type fails. Automatic Fit – Automatically determines a coordinate system and offsets the surface along its axes as necessary to create the offset approximately in shape to the original.Normal to Surface – Offsets the surface normal to the reference surface or quilt.Fit type – Enables you to specify how the surface is offset.When offsetting surfaces, the following options are available: In addition to specifying the offset distance, you can flip the direction the surface is offset. The offset surface remains dependent on the original surface. Exclude – You can exclude individual surfaces from sets by pressing CTRL and de-selecting them.Ģ.Ĝreate a surface quilt by offsetting a value from another quilt or solid surface.Single – Press CTRL to select multiple surfaces.
You can select any surface or surface set (e.g., quilt or solid) to copy and paste.
How to effectively copy and paste surfacesĬopying and pasting a surface creates an overlay copy of the surface which you can then manipulate. Here is what you should know to master working with surfaces:ġ. How can designers create a manufacturable model when there’s no mass? Typically, you use tools and various editing techniques to thicken or otherwise create the solid model from the surface. In fact, surface design is generally what gives most consumer products their aesthetic appeal. In CAD, a surface is an infinitely thin feature used to define complex shapes (think the curvy front end of a sports car).
