Modify Section

The primary area of the Modify section provides commands for modifying the surface and wireframe geometry.

This page discusses:

Tessellation
Creates a tessellation from surfaces or solids.
See Tessellating Objects.
Join
See Flyout for Join.
Merge Clouds
See Flyout for Merge Clouds.
Extract
Extracts a face or a surface edge.
See Extracting Elements.
Translate
See Flyout for Translate.
Offset
Creates a surface that is offset from a reference surface.
See Creating Offset Surfaces.
Split
Splits a surface or wireframe element using a cutting element.
See Splitting Geometry.
Variable Fillet...
Creates a fillet whose radius varies along the edge.
See Creating Edge Fillets Using Variable Radii.
Unfold
Unfolds a ruled or unruled surface.
See Unfolding a Surface.
Matching Constraint
Connects surfaces using a range of continuity constraints.
See Creating a Matching Constraint.
Converter Wizard
Converts curves and surfaces into NUPBS curves and surfaces, and modifies their properties.
See Using Converter Wizard.
Control Points
Modifies a curve or a surface by manipulating control points.
See Using Control Points.
Extend
Makes a curve longer by extending one or both of its end points. Makes a surface bigger or smaller by extending its boundaries.
See Extending Shapes.
Close Surface
Closes a surface.
See Creating a Close Surface.

Flyout for Join

Join
Assemble adjacent curves or surfaces to one element.
See Joining Curves or Surfaces.
Curve Smooth
Fills the gaps and smoothes tangency and curvature discontinuities.
See Smoothing Curves.
Untrim
Restores the trimmed curve or surface to its original shape.
See Restoring a Surface or Curve.
Disassemble
Disassembles multi-cell curves or surfaces into mono-cell, or mono-domain curves or surfaces.
See Disassembling Shapes.

Flyout for Merge Clouds

Merge Clouds
Merges several clouds of points into one.
See Merging Clouds of Points.
Disassemble Data
Disassembles multi-cells clouds into mono-cell ones
See Disassembling Data from a Cloud of Points.
Split

Flyout for Translate

Translate
Translates point, line or surface elements along a vector.
See Translating Geometry.
Rotate
Rotates geometry about an axis.
See Rotating Geometry.
Symmetry
Transforms geometry using a mirror symmetry with respect to a reference plane, line, or point.
See Performing a Symmetry on Geometry.
Scaling
Scales geometry.
See Transforming Geometry by Scaling.
Affinity
Transforms geometry by affinity.
See Transforming Geometry by Affinity.
Axis To Axis
Transforms elements positioned according to a given axis system into a new axis system.
See Transforming Elements from an Axis to Another.
