Adjusting Surfaces

You can apply a transformation on surfaces using a specified number of vectors.


Before you begin: Open a a 3D shape containing a geometry to be adapted.

As example is used an aircraft door larger than the aperture must fit into. Using a specified number of vectors, the door is adjusted from one position to its assembled position.

About Adjusting Surfaces
  1. From the Surface section of the action bar, click Adjust .
  2. Select the door geometry to be adjusted.
    In the dialog box Adjust, the Point box becomes active.

  3. In the tree, expand the geometrical sets for Adjust Points and Aperture Points.
    These are the points to be used for transformation.

    The transformation of the geometry begins by selecting pairs of vector positions.
  4. Successively select P1 from the geometrical set Adjust Points and p1 from the geometrical set Aperture Points.


    The vector Translation appears.

  5. Select Translation and click Apply..
    The door is translated as a feature result.

  6. Successively select P2 from the geometrical set Adjust Points and p2 from the geometrical set Aperture Points.
    The vector Rotation appears.

  7. Select Rotation and click Apply.
    The door is rotated.

  8. Successively select P3 from the geometrical set Adjust Points and p3 from the geometrical set Aperture Points.
    The vector Rotation appears, representing the scaling.

  9. Select Scale and click Apply.
    The door is now scaled.

  10. Select the remaining pairs of points to perform a compensation of the geometry which will fit it exactly into the aperture.


  11. Select Compensation and click Apply.
    The door is now adjusted to its final position.

The result of the Adjust operation is a feature result.
