Instant3D Weldments

Instant3D works on weldment parts for 2D and 3D weldments.

Drag Handles

Select the face to drag. The drag arrow appears in the closest available direction for drag. You can move the weldment body to elongate attached bodies and the guide sketch.
Drag the handle.
Resized weldment part
Drag an end face to elongate the structural member.
Drag handles also work if the side face orientation is not in the same plane as the guide sketch. Instant3D respects the general direction of the drag handle, so the guide sketch and attached bodies expand or contract.


Other Examples

As you drag a structural member segment, a preview of the selected segment shows the location.
Select the structural member face to drag
Drag preview of new location
Final position
