3D Modeler Options: Operation Options
Under 3D Modeler options, Operation options allow you to select options for clone, coordinate system, model editing, and model save operations.
In the Clone area, enable or disable options. By default, the modeler deletes tool objects when performing operations on objects. You may specify that the modeler make a clone (copy) of the tool object before these operations:
- Clone tool objects before uniting
- Clone tool objects before subtracting
- Clone tool objects before intersecting
- Clone tool objects before imprinting
- Clone tool objects before projecting
In the Coordinate System area, decide whether or not to Automatically switch to face coordinate system.
By default, the modeler operates within the user-selected coordinate system. If this option is enabled, when you select a face and create a new object, the modeler first creates a face coordinate system consistent with the selected face and the new object is created within the face coordinate system. When this option is disabled, you must manually create a Face Coordinate System before creating an object related to it.
In the Model Edit area, enable or disable the following options:
- Delete invalid objects created during split operation – When selected, the modeler deletes invalid objects created during split operation. When deselected, invalid objects can be freely created.
- Automatically imprint wrapped sheets – Imprinting is a boolean operation, whereas wrapping is not.
See: Imprinting an Object and Wrap Sheet Command.
In the Model Save area, you can enable/disable being prompted for model history cleanup. You can also specify the number of actions on a part that will cause a prompt. The default value is 50.
