Create Solid Above All Surfaces

If multiple surfaces are overlapping, this option will use the upper triangulated surface of the overlapping surfaces as the base for the solid being created. Then this surface projects up to create a closed solid.

Create Solid Above Any Surface

If multiple surfaces are overlapping, this option will use the lower triangulated surface of the overlapping surfaces as the base for the solid being created.

Create Solid Below All Surfaces

If multiple surfaces are overlapping, this option will use the lower triangulated surface of the overlapping surfaces as the top for the solid being created.

Create Solid Below Any Surface

If multiple surfaces are overlapping, this option will use the upper triangulated surface of the overlapping surfaces as the top for the solid being created.

Note

Create Solid From Polygons

Creates a solid from a polygon. These polygons can be digitised in graphics or imported.

Create Solid Above Plane

Define a plane by typing in an X, Y, Z value. An upper surface is projected above this plane and a closed solid is triangulated.

Create Solid Below Plane

Define a plane by typing in an X, Y, Z value. An upper surface is projected below this plane and a closed solid is triangulated.

Union Solids

Joins two or more solids into the same layer. These solids can be intersecting, but may be free standing.

Intersect Solids

Intersects solids. Returns the intersection of two or more solids. The result is that part that is common to all imported solids. Multiple solids may be imported here.

Subtract Solids

Outersects solids. Firstly unions the inclusive solids together, then substracts each excluding solid from the result. The result is that part of the Inclusive solids that has had the Excluding solids removed from it.

Translate Solid or Surface

Type in an X, Y, Z value to define the translation. Existing triangulated surface is translated to the new location.

Reduce Complexity

Reduces the complexity of a solid. This functionality can be used to remove shards left over after another operation (Example: Subtract solids operation). Input the solid with multiple solids, give a minimum acceptable volume, all the minor solids with a volume below that minimum value will be removed.

Upper Surface

An open surface is created of the upper part of the input solid(s).

Lower Surface

An open surface is created of the lower part of the input solid(s).

Clip Surface by Polygon (Exclude Outside)

Intersect a surface with a polygon(s). This can be digitised in graphics or imported. Exclude the outside.

Clip Surface by Polygon (Exclude Inside)

Outersect a surface with a polygon(s). This can be digitised in graphics or imported. Exclude the inside.

Append Surfaces

Append surfaces to one another in the given order.
