Idealize Section

The Idealize section of the action bar provides commands for simplifying the mesh that is generated from your model by idealizing its geometry.

Mid-Surface
Simulates the medial surface of a thin solid by creating a midsurface from a pair of faces that are offset from each other.
See Creating Midsurfaces.
Offset
Creates a new face that is offset from an existing face.
See Creating Offset Surfaces.
Split
Splits a surface or wireframeelement using a cutting element.
See Splitting Geometry.
Partition
Partition a body using a face or its externson.
See Creating Splits.
Sew Surface
Sews multiple surfaces into a body.
See Creating Sew Surfaces.
Extract
Extracts a face or surface edge.
See Extracting Elements.
Extract Sub-Elements
Extracts sub-elements that are joined into one element.
See Extracting Sub-Elements.
Trim
Trims selected faces or edges.
See Trimming Geometry.
Simplifying Surfaces
Simplifies the topology of adjacent surfaces within specified thresholds.
See Simplifying Surfaces.
