Global
Allows you to define specific preferences for normal and large range
parts.
Tolerant Modeling
Select the desired option:
- Merging distance
- This option defines the distance below which elements are to be
joined, healed or extracted.
By default, this option is set to 0.001mm.
- Tolerant laydown
- If the laydown of an input guide on a surface fails, you can select
the
Tolerant laydown. When activated, a fixed lay
down tolerance of 0.1mm is applied.
By default, this option is not cleared.
Here is a scenario with the Sweep command.
-
Create a tolerant swept surface and define a Deviation from
guide of 0.1 mm.
In our scenario we created a swept surface using an implicit
linear profile and the ''two limits'' sub-type. We created Curve.1 (blue curve)
and Curve.2 (pink curve) as the guide curves.

-
Create a parallel curve of Curve.1 using the swept surface as
the support.
The creation of the parallel curve fails and an error message
opens informing you that the guide curve does not lie on the swept surface and
advise you to project it onto the support.
Select the
Tolerant laydown option.
Perform step 2 again.
The creation of the parallel curve is successful.

- Continuity Type
- Three continuity types are available:
- None: deactivates the smoothing result
- Tangency: enhances the current
continuity to tangent continuity
- Curvature: enhances the current
continuity to curvature continuity
By default, the option is set to
None.
- Maximum deviation
- This option enables you to set the allowed deviation between the
initial element and the smoothed element by entering a value or using the
spinners.
By default, this option is set to 0.001mm.
Groups
- Integration of created features as group inputs
- Select this option if you want each new feature to be included as an input in an existing
group and remain visible in the specification tree.
If you clear
this option, created features will not be included in the group
and will be hidden in the group tree (expand the group to be
able to see it).
By default, this option is cleared.
For further information, see Managing Groups.
Stacked Analysis
- Stacked analysis default behavior set as temporary
- Select this option box to automatically create a temporary analysis when checking
connections between surfaces or curves.
By default, this option is cleared.
Contextual Menus
- Contextual menu on one level
- Generative Shape Design commands available from a
contextual menu from dialog box options, for example commands that
can be applied to the current selection, are offered sorted in a
list with sub-levels. Select this option to get the commands in a
one-level list.
By default, this option is cleared.
Appearance of dialog boxes
- Open dialog boxes with legacy appearance
-
Select this check box to display dialog boxes with the classic
appearance. Clear it to display dialog boxes with an improved
usability.
By default, this check box is selected.
Graphic properties inheritance
- Inherit graphic properties from input
- Select this option to inherit the graphic properties of the input element to newly
created features. If the option is cleared, the default graphic
properties of the input element are assigned to the new feature.
By default, this check box is cleared.
