Feature Paint

Feature Paint allows you to copy feature parameters from one feature to others that you select.

For instance, you can select a boss-extrude from one part and apply its parameters (such as depth) to another boss-extrude on a different part.

You can also select two different features and apply feature parameters. For example, select a sweep feature to apply its parameters (such as the texture and transparency properties) to a dome feature.

Sheet metal features are supported.

Parameters you can copy include:

  • depth
  • color
  • texture
  • optical properties (including ambience and specularity)

Limitations:

  • Unsupported sheet metal features: bend, fold, unfold, and welded corner.
  • If the source feature does not have texture but the target feature does, the target feature retains its texture properties.
  • Reference geometry entities cannot be painted from one feature to another. For example, an end condition of Up To Surface that references a surface cannot be painted.
