About Using Sketches in the Concept Structure Engineering App

Concept Structure Engineering sketches are extended standard sketches whose geometric elements have domain IDs and an orientation.

Creating and Modifiying Sketches in the Concept Structure Engineering App

When creating a sketch in the Concept Structure Engineering app, a domain ID with consecutive numbering is assigned by default to each curve of the sketch . Only curves with a domain ID are translated to a section created from a sketch.

You can add IDs, change or delete them, and reverse the orientation.

Important:
  • You can only assign IDs to geometric elements but not to construction elements.
  • To perform operations on a standard sketch without domain IDs using the commands of the ID Management section of the Sketcher app, it must be in a module.

You can join multiple domains to one manifold domain if the curves are topologically contiguous. All curves of a manifold domain have the same ID and orientation.

You can split manifold domains to single domains.
