Overcrowning Surfaces

You can modify surfaces in a point directly by the specified value. You ca use the, for example, in tool manufacturing to compensate the spring-back of the sheet metal for the whole geometry.


Before you begin:

Open a 3D shape containing a plane surface.

  1. Select a surface.
  2. In the Crowning area, select a Position on the surface to define the overcrown vector origin.
  3. In the Distance box, specify a crowning height.
  4. Click OK.
    A vector with a length equal to the crowning value is placed at the selected position. You can modify crowning value and direction using the handles in the work area.
