The DesignModeler application features two basic modes of operation: DesignModeler 2D Sketching and DesignModeler 3D Modeling.
Sketching Mode
In the Sketching mode, you have five toolboxes to create 2D sketches by adding and removing 2D edges. From the 2D sketches you can generate 3D solid models as described in DesignModeler 3D Modeling.
Draw Toolbox: drawing lines, rectangles, and splines
Modify Toolbox: modifying by trimming, cutting, and pasting
Dimensions Toolbox: defining dimensions in length/distance, diameter, and angle
Constraints Toolbox: applying tangent, symmetry, and concentricity constraints.
Settings Toolbox: plane settings such as grid and grid spacing
Modeling Mode
The Modeling mode allows you to create models, for example, by extruding or revolving profiles from your sketches.
As you become acquainted with the tools and controls, you will quickly feel comfortable using the DesignModeler application for sketching and modeling tasks.
