Displaying Local Strategies

Each strategy will have dedicated specifications.


Before you begin: Open an existing 3D shape containing a large variety of Generative Shape Design features.
  1. From the Resilient Modeling section of the action bar, click Edit update modes .
  2. Select a feature.
  3. In the Edit update modes dialog box, click Define and specify the local strategies on the current feature.
    Check BoxDescription
    Ignore Input
    • Select this check box to ignore an input when it is not available during feature computation.
    • The features Polyline and Join can benefit from this strategy.
    Adapt input with Near/Far
    • When a feature is in error because of a geometrical or topological change in one of its inputs, the feature adapts the input locally. The feature may not have right connexity.
    • Select this check box to apply Near/Far operation on top of the computed result to keep only one domain.
    • Select the type of operation Near or Far according to the requirement.
    • This strategy is implemented for the following features:
      • Point on curve - if the input curve has multiple domains.
      • Circle with center and axis - if the axis has multiple domains.
    • In the Reference box, select a reference element to be used for the Near/Far operation.
    Allow partial result
    • Select this check box to automatically compute a partial result when a complete computation result is not possible.
    • The Sweep and Offset features can benefit from this command.
    • The computed result is the same as the one computed using Fill twisted areas option in the Sweep command dialog box and Automatically computes sub-elements to remove option in the Offset command dialog box (but the tricky faces are not taken into account in this option).
    Overcome failing operations
    • Select this check box to automatically copy the main input result to the current feature when the feature computation fails.
    • The specifications of the current feature are ignored. Only the first input of the current feature is copied as result if the current feature is in error.
    • The following features can benefit from this strategy:
      • Modification features - Split, Trim, Join and so on.
      • Contextual creation features - Projection, Transformations, Offset, Parallel Curve and so on.
  4. When the global strategies are already defined on the feature, the defined strategies are shown in the dialog box. Click Overload to initialize all local strategies with the values of the global strategies.
  5. Click Reset to replace all the defined strategies.
  6. Click Apply and then click OK.
    In the specifications tree, different masks appear on the features when you define or apply a strategy.
