Creating an Object from a Face
The Modeler > Surface > Create Object From Face command copies a selected face, resulting in a new 2D sheet object.
To create a new object from a face:
- Right-click in the modeler window, and select Select Faces on the shortcut menu.
- Select the object face you want to copy. If you select multiple faces, each becomes a new object.
- Click Modeler > Surface > Create Object From Face.
The face is copied, resulting in a new 2D sheet object.
Warning: This command is
useful for assigning a boundary to the intersection of two faces. To
do this, first select the faces, and then create an object from them
using the procedure above. Next, make sure the
Clone before intersect option is clear in the Modeler Options window, and then use
the Modeler > Boolean > Intersect
command to modify the object so that it includes only the intersection
of the two faces. Then assign the boundary to the new object.
