Creating a Fold Line

You can quickly create the representation of a fold line.

  1. From the Transformation section of the action bar, click Fold Line .
  2. Optional: Replace the default name Fold Line.n with a more significant one.
  3. Define the geometry of the fold line: Either select or create a sketch, or add and edit a symmetry or a geometry.

    The geometry can be one or several straight lines, intersecting or not.

    For more information on working with the Sketcher, see 3D Modeling Core: Sketcher.

  4. From the color editor, pick the color to display the layer.
  5. Select the end and start layers.
  6. Click Preview to verify the result.
    1. Use the arrows to orient the fold line.
    2. Validate.
    • The line is created as Fold Line.n, under the Fold Line Set, under Review Tools.
    • The 3D representation is computed:
      • As a dotted line in the flat view.
      • As an extrude in elevated view.
