Visualization Sectioning
Creates a 3D section view of the part.
See Creating Dynamic Section View
Ruler
Displays and manipulates 2D or 3D area coordinate axes.
See About Rulers.


Views
Views the object from different angles and manages cameras for your scene.
Select the view and then create the camera.
See 3D Modeling: Styling: Live Rendering: Cameras: Creating a Camera


Previous View
Displays the previous view.
See 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps: Native Apps Basics: Basic Viewing Commands


Next View
Displays the next view.
See 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps: Native Apps Basics: Basic Viewing Commands


Compare
Provides a synchronized view for a side-by-side comparison.
Click Compare and select any combination of entities. Each view displays a different geometrical set, display list, frame, or other selection. The views are identical in orientation and appearance.
See Comparing Models.
Organize
Organizes geometrical elements in Frames, Display Lists, and Select Sets.
See Organizing Elements.
Analyze
Opens the Analyze panel to perform a Highlight, Sections, Deviation, or Curvature analysis.
See Analyzing Shapes.
Continuity Tolerances
Opens the Continuity Tolerances panel.

Flyout for Creating Points

OmniPoint
Creates explicit points.
See Creating Points.


Point
Creates a point.
See Creating Points.

Flyout for Creating Planes

OmniPlane
Creates an arbitrary number of work planes to provide local coordinate systems.
See About Creating OmniPlanes.


Plane
Creates a plane.
See Creating Planes.


Axis System
Defines a new three-axis system locally either by selecting geometry or by entering coordinates.
See Defining an Axis System

Flyout for Creating Curves

OmniCurve
Creates a curve using control points or curve points.
See Creating Curves.


Line
Creates a line.
See Creating Lines.


Circle
Creates circles and circular arcs.
See Creating Circles.


Spine
Creates spines normal to a list of ordered planes or planar curves.

Flyout for Projecting Objects

OmniProject
Projects curves or points onto surfaces or curves.
See Projecting Objects.
OmniProjectModify
Projects curves or points onto surfaces or curves. The object being projected is replaced by the projection result. Datum objects are created.
See Projecting Objects.

Flyout for Cutting Objects

OmniCut
Splits, limits, or reduces surfaces or curves based on the intersection of the input elements.
See Cutting Objects.
OmniCutModify
Splits, limits, or reduces surfaces or curves based on the intersection of the input elements. Unlike OmniCut, the input objects are directly modified, and datum elements are created.
See Cutting Objects.

Flyout for Untrimming Objects

Uncut
Untrims elements or parts of them.
See Untrimming Objects.
Uncut (modifying)
Untrims elements or parts of them. Unlike OmniCut, the input objects are directly modified, and datum elements are created.
See Untrimming Objects.

Flyout for Joining and Disassembling Objects



Join
Assemble adjacent curves or surfaces to one element.
See Joining Curves or Surfaces.


Disassemble
Disassembles multi-cell curves or surfaces into mono-cell or mono-domain curves or surfaces.
See Disassembling Shapes.

Flyout for Extracting Edges and Creating Boundary Curves

Extract
Extracts a face or a surface edge.
See Extracting Elements.
Boundary
Creates the boundary curve of a surface or the boundary point of a curve by selecting a surface edge or a surface.
See Creating Boundaries.

Flyout for Matching Objects and Creating Symmetry

OmniMatch
Matches between several entities and boundaries.
See Matching Surfaces.
Symmetry
Modifies geometry by symmetrizing it to a reference object (plane) with a symmetry condition up to G3.
See Creating Symmetry.
