Loft Features In this lesson, you create this hammer head using loft features. Surfaces Surfaces are a type of geometry with zero thickness. To create surfaces, you use many of the same methods used to create solids, such as extrudes, revolves, and sweeps. Surfaces also use other functions...
A zero-thickness planar or 3D entity with edge boundaries. Surfaces are often used to create solid features. Reference surfaces can be used to modify solid features. See face. sweep Creates a base, boss, cut, or surface feature by moving a profile (section) along a path. For cut-sweeps...
A sweep operation is similar in function to a loft but uses one profile curve. A boundary surface is even more similar to a loft with the difference that it allows setting start/end tangency in both directions. The advantage is more control but at the cost of overall surface curvature. Lo...
Worker count -This defines the # of processor cores that will be used by the ray tracer. Leaving the value at 0 is generally recommended since then Photopia will use the # of cores reported by the operating system. If you know your total # of physical & logical cores, then you can ent...
• Mid-plane extrudes the sketch in both directions, dividing the specified wall thickness equally on both sides of the sketch geometry. • Two directions extrudes the sketch in both directions, using a different wall thickness on each side of the sketch geometry (as specified for Direction...
Previously, the None constraint applied zero curvature to the start/end constraints of the loft. Patterns Curve Driven Patterns Curve driven patterns now support 3D geometry. You can pattern features along 3D curves or 3D edges. Data Propagation A new option propagates SolidWorks colors, textures,...
19. The section planes that created the section view have been shifted slightly to remove the single point contact that caused a zero-thickness geometry error. 36 SOLIDWORKS Fundamentals Open Model in Position When you open a part or subassembly from an assembly or drawing document, you can ...
guide curve 引导线 A 2D or 3D curve used to guide a sweep or loft. 2D 或 3D曲线,用来引导扫描或放样。 handle 控标 An arrow, square, or circle that you can drag to adjust the size or position of an entity (a feature, dimension, or sketch entity, for example). 您可拖动来调整实体(...
Loft - a morphed shape between two or more closed profile sketches Revolve - a shape is created by turning a profile sketch around an axis Boundary - a shape is created based on a set of boundary curves These are included in surface operations, as well as some important others: ...
You can create a parametric lofted reflector or lens from a set of PODT profiles using “Loft PODT Profiles” under the Photopia menu or by clicking the PODT Loft icon. This PODT lofting tool provides various symmetry options, allowing you to create complete optical parts with a minimum of pr...
