Description
A tool to create various parametric geometric primitives.
Geometric Primitives
Some of the available (parametric) geometric primitives that are possible:
- Plane: inserts a simple parametric plane 10 x 10 mm, with the parameters of position, length, and width.
- Box/Cube: inserts a parametric, rectangular cuboid, geometric primitive into the active document.
- Cylinder: Inserts a simple parametric cylinder, with position, angle, radius and height parameters in to he active document.
- Cone: Inserts a parametric truncated Cone in to the active document.
- Sphere: Inserts a parametric sphere, with position, angle1, angle2, angle3 and radius parameters.
- Ellipsoid: Inserts a parametric Ellipsoid solid in to the active document.
- Torus: Inserts a simple parametric torus, with position, angle1, angle2, angle3, radius1 and radius2 as parameters in to the active document.
- Prism introduced in version 0.14*: Inserts a solid defined by a regular polygon cross section and a height in to the active document.
- Wedge: Inserts a parametric Wedge object in to the active document.
- Helix: Inserts a Helix geometric primitive in to the active document. Common usage for Helix is creating threads.
- Spiral introduced in version 0.14*: Inserts a Spiral geometric primitive in to the active workbench.
- Circle: Inserts a circular curved edge in to the active document.
- Ellipse: Inserts an elliptical curved edge in to the active document.
- Point (Vertex): Inserts a Point (vertex) geometric primitive in to the active document.
- Line (Edge):
- Regular Polygon introduced in version 0.14*: Inserts a RegularPolygon geometric primitive in to the active document.
