Operator Library

Operators

The Operator Library lists all available operators to the exception of the Isolate operator. For more information on the Isolate operator, see Isolate operator.

	Decimate operator Reduces the number of triangles in a mesh by removing vertices. See Decimate operator properties
	Defeature operator Optimizes the geometric representation of the product by removing design details such as holes or fillets from an exact geometry to get a simpler prepared product. See Defeature operator properties Note: This is a beta operator, see Beta Operators and Selectors. Before After
	Delete operator Deletes entities from the structure based on the specifications of the corresponding selector. Note: Combine this operator with a selector. See Delete operator properties Before After
	Envelop operator Creates a 3D imitation or hull copying the shape of the selected element. See Envelop operator properties Note: This operator is similar to the Impostor - Envelop operator but without baked textures. Before After
	Impostor - Envelop operator Replaces a selection by a 3D imitation of the input based on voxels including a baked texture. See Impostor - Envelop operator properties Note: This is a beta operator, see Beta Operators and Selectors.
	Jacketing operator Reduces the complexity of meshes and structures by removing faces or elements fully hidden. Concealed surfaces are detected by rays calculated by the CPU. See Jacketing operator properties
	Material assign operator Applies material on the selected shapes. See Material assign operator properties
	Material remove operator Removes all materials from Instances, RepInstances, bodies and faces. See Material remove operator properties
	Merge operator Combines the selected structure elements in a single mesh. See Merge operator properties
	Optimize Mesh operator Reduces the internal structure of meshes to limit draw calls. See Optimize mesh operator properties
	Projection mapping operator Modifies the mapping operator of assigned materials (planar, cubic, UV etc.). See Projection mapping operator properties
	Replace operator For often used standard parts, for example nuts, bots or screws, this operator replaces items either based on a mapping table document or using a replacement product structure. The operator makes replacements only for your current selection. See Replace operator properties Note: This is a beta operator, see Beta Operators and Selectors.
	Set label operator Assigns a transient label to the selected elements. Used together with the Label Expression selector. Important: Labels are lost during some operations. See Set label operator properties
	Tessellate operator Computes triangle meshes (cgr) that approximate the exact definition of a geometry. Note: This operator removes the NURBs (cgm) information. After tessellating once it is therefore useless to execute further tessellate operators. Input meshes (cgr) cannot be transformed anymore. See Tessellate operator properties
	Unwrap operator Computes texture coordinates (UV) on meshes. See Unwrap Operator Properties

Isolate operator

Isolate operator Creates a new product duplicating the input product's geometry and animations. All parts are switched to physical products and shapes are made shareable during this operation. Note: This operator appears by default at the beginning of an operation. You cannot create or delete it. See Isolate operator properties

Selectors

	Property selector Selects elements of the structure (references or instances) based on the values of attributes such as title or name. See Property Selector
	Size selector Selects shapes based on the longest dimension of the respective bounding boxes, means bigger or smaller than a value. See Size Selector
	Material selector Selects elements of the structure on which a provided material is assigned. See Material Selector Note: This is a beta selector, see Beta Operators and Selectors.
	Structure selector Selects elements based on their position in the structure such as root, one level below the root etc. See Structure Selector
	Proximity selector Selects elements close to a set of other elements defined by a label. See Proximity Selector Note: This is a beta selector, see Beta Operators and Selectors.
	Label expression selector Selects elements validating a Boolean expression of lables. See Label expression
