Modification Tools

The following modification tools are available.

Modification Tools		Applicable bodies or topologies	Functions
Boolean	Unite	Sheet bodies Solid bodies	Unites bodies
	Subtract		Subtracts bodies from bodies.
	Intersect		Intersects bodies
Move/Rotate	Move	All types of bodies	Moves bodies
	Rotate	All types of bodies	Rotates bodies
	Mirror	All types of bodies	Mirrors bodies
	Cruise	Solid bodies Sheet bodies	Slides the selected bodies on the surface of other body or the drawing plane.
	MoveFace Topologies	Face topologies on solid bodies	Moves the selected face topologies to deform the solid bodies.
	Rotate Face Topologies	Face topologies on solid bodies	Rotates the selected face topologies to deform the solid bodies.
Deformation	Scale	All types of bodies	Body dimensions are scaled, either uniformly or nonuniformly.
	Extrude	Vertex bodies Wire bodies Sheet bodies	Extrudes bodies.
	Extrude with Taper	Wire bodies Sheet bodies	Extrudes bodies with taper.
	Revolve	Vertex bodies Wire bodies Sheet bodies	Revolves bodies.
	Loft	Vertex bodies Wire bodies Sheet bodies	Creates a 3D object by lofting the specified cross section.
	Sweep along Path	Wire bodies Sheet bodies	Sweeps the selected bodies along a wire path.
	Fillet	Wire bodies Sheet bodies Solid bodies	Fillets the body corners.
	Chamfer	Solid bodies	Chamfers the body corners.
	Cut	Sheet bodies Solid bodies	Cuts bodies with a specified plane.
	Cut at the intersection point of wire bodies	Wire bodies	Cuts the wire bodies at the intersection point.
	Extract	Sheet bodies Solid bodies	Cuts and removes a portion of the body.
	Shell	Face topologies on solid bodies	Hollows the body at the selected face.
	Taper	Face topologies on solid bodies	Tapers adjacent faces with reference to the selected face.
	Offset	Face topologies on solid bodies Edge topologies on sheet bodies	Offsets the selected face or edge topology.
	Change Radius	Face topologies on solid bodies Edge topologies	Changes the radius of selected face or edge topologies.
	Delete Face	Face topologies	Removes the selected face.
	Delete Edge	Edge topologies	Removes the selected edge.
Copy	Single Copy	All types of bodies All types of topologies	Copies the selected bodies. Various arrangements are possible. Topologies will be copies in the same way as coying the same-type body . Vertex topology - Vertex body Edge topology - Wire body Face topology - Sheet body
	Mirrored Copy
	Aligned Copy
	Arrayed Copy
	Ring Copy
Conversion	Convert Wire Body	Wire bodies	Converts multiple wire bodies to a single wire body.
	Convert Sheet Body	Wire bodies	Converts multiple wire bodies to a single sheet body.
	Convert Solid Body	Sheet bodies	Converts multiple sheet bodies to a single solid body.
Topology Segmentation	Imprint Face with Points	Face topologies	Imprints a face with points.
	Segment Edge	Wire bodies Sheet bodies Solid bodies	Segments an edge to several edges.
	Segment Face	Sheet bodies Solid bodies	Segments a face to several faces.
