When Creating 3D Shapes
- Create an axis system
- Creates a three-axis system
with origin at the intersection of the three default planes
that is xy plane, yz plane, and zx plane. When the document is open, the
axis system is displayed both in the geometry and in the tree.
For more information about axis systems, see the Part Design User's Guide.
By default, this check box is cleared. - Create a geometrical set
- Creates a geometrical set immediately after creating a new 3D shape. Geometrical sets created with this option on,
are located above part bodies in the tree.
By default, this check box is cleared.
- Create an ordered geometrical set
- Creates an ordered geometrical
set immediately after creating a new 3D shape. For more information about ordered
geometrical sets, see Generative Shape Design User's Guide. By default, this check box is cleared.
- Create a 3D work support
- Creates a 3D work on support immediately after creating a new 3D shape. By default, this check box is cleared.
- Show reference planes
- Displays or hides the reference planes in the 3D area. By default, this check box is selected.
Hybrid Design
- Enable hybrid design inside part bodies and bodies
- Lets you work in the hybrid design environment,
that is with bodies that can include wireframe and surface elements.Notes:
- If the session already contains traditional bodies, that is bodies that cannot include surface nor wireframe elements, the app identifies them with a gray icon.
- If this check box is cleared, then on insertion of a traditional body (body not allowed to contain wireframe nor surface elements), icons identifying existing bodies likely to include wireframe and surface elements turn yellow.
Important: even if Enable hybrid design inside part bodies and bodies is cleared, the Insert in New Body capability ignores the setting. It creates a body which type (hybrid or not) is always the same as the body from which you selected features to place them into the new body. By default, this option is selected. - Wireframe and surface elements are created in a body
- By default, this option is selected.
- Wireframe and surface elements are created in a geometrical set
- By default, this option is cleared..
- Enable hybrid design for parameters and relations inside part bodies and bodies
- Lets you locate parameters and relations
you are creating into a body. In his case the insertion process behaves
the same way as for an ordered geometrical set. A dialog box always asks
you to confirm the location.
If you do not want to locate the new parameter or relation into the current set, click 'No' in the dialog box. It will then be created in a Relation set. node.
By default, this check box is cleared.
Tessellation of Polyhedral Features
- Type
- Specifies how the sag is defined. The following sag definition types are available for selection:
- Fine: The visualization is accurate but the performance is poor.
- Optimized: The Visualization and the performance are optimized.
- Coarse: The performance is high but the visualization is approzimate.
By default, the selected type is Optimized. - Sag
The sag is the maximum distance between the exact geometry and the polyhedral geometry or tessellation.
The following sag values are predefined for different sag definition types in the normal design range:Type Predefined Sag Value Fine 0.02mm Optimized 0.1mm Coarse 1mm Note: The predefined sag values are proportional to the selected design range.Tip: You can also access the Tessellation of polyhedral features options by right-clicking the 3D Shape node in the tree and selecting tab. Any changes made in the Mechanical tab of the Properties do not reflect in the options in this tab.
