Part Builder
Description
A tool to create more complex shapes from various parametric geometric primitives.
Usage
This tool can create the following objects:
Edge from two vertices
- Select two vertices
- Click on Create
Wire from edges
- Select a set of adjacent edges in the 3D view
- Click on Create
Face from vertices
- Select vertices bounding the face in the 3D view
- Select if face should be planar
- Click on Create
- Object will be created in 3D view and will be listed in tree view
Face from edges
- Select a closed set of edges bounding the face in the 3D view
- Select if face should be planar
- Click on Create
- Object will be created in 3D view and will be listed in tree view
Shell from faces
- Select faces in the 3D view
- Select if the shape should be refined
- Select if all faces should be included in shell
- Click on Create
- Object will be created in 3D view and will be listed in tree view
Solid from shell
- Select if the shape should be refined
- Click on Create
- Object will be created in 3D view and will be listed in tree view
Notes
A possible workflow could be:
- Draw a wireframe-model of your shape using the tools in the
Draft Workbench (for example line and dwire)
- Create all faces with \"face from edges\"
- Create a \"shell from faces\"
- Create a \"solid from shell\"
