More Tools for Preparing Meshes

Mesh files can help you in solid or surface modeling to create sketches or visual references. This release provides more tools to help you prepare and modify mesh files for such cases.

You can access these tools from the Mesh Modeling tab in the CommandManager. The Mesh Modeling tab contains mesh features and standard features that work with mesh BREP bodies.

For example, you can use the Paint Select tool to select facets. Then to remove facets, press Delete or use the Cut with Surface tool. The software retessellates the graphics body at the cut boundary.

You can also change the entire size of a graphics body by using the Scale tool.

When you use the Cut With Surface or Scale tool on a graphics body, the software does not add a feature to the FeatureManager® design tree. This is because these tools modify the original mesh. If you have not saved the graphics body, you can undo the changes but not edit them.
