Description
A tool to create more complex shapes from various parametric geometric primitives.
Usage
This tool will let you create shapes by creating
- Edge from two vertices
- Face from vertices
- Wire from edges introduced in version 0.18
- Select a set of adjacent edges in the 3D view
- Click on Create
- Face from edges
- Shell from faces
- Solid from shell
Limitations
Notes
A possible workflow could be:
- Draw a wireframe-model of your shape using the tools in the
Draft Workbench (for example line and dwire)
- Create all faces with "face from edges"
- Create a "shell from faces"
- Create a "solid from shell"
- Primitives: Box, Cone, Cylinder, Sphere, Torus, CreatePrimitives, Shapebuilder
- Modifying objects: Boolean, Union, Common, Cut, Join features, Connect, Embed, Cutout
- Splitting tools: Boolean fragments, Slice a part, Slice, XOR, Part Defeaturing
- Compound: Make compound, Explode Compound, Compound Filter; Extrude, Fillet, Revolve, Section, Cross sections, Chamfer, Mirror, Ruled Surface, Sweep, Loft
- Offset tools: 3D Offset, 2D Offset, Thickness, Projection on surface
