Create a Diabolo

You can create a diabolo on the base element.

  1. In the Seat Surface box, select a surface.

    Important: The seat surface must have a closed contour and belong to one domain.

  2. In the Base Element box, select the base surface.
  3. Optional: In the Faces to Modify box, select one or more faces to split the base surface and determine an intermediate base surface.

    Important: The faces should lie on the base surface. They should be connected to each other to form a single domain when joined together.

  4. In the Draft Direction box, select the direction.

    You can select either a plane, a line, or a X, Y, or Z axis. The default draft direction is the normal direction to the seat surface.

  5. Define the draft angle.
  6. Click Preview.
  7. Optional: Click Reverse Direction to invert the orientation of the diabolo.
  8. Click OK.
