Description

Boundary dress-up allows restricting the extent of a path to a smaller part of the object. For example, restricting a profile path to just one face or part of the model.

Usage

  1. Select a contour path or profile path object
  2. click the Boundary Dress-up menu item

Options

  • Create Box
  • Create Cylinder
  • Extend Model's Boundary Box
  • Use Existing Solid

Limitations

  • The default option : Extend Model's Boundary Box will not allow a box that does not include at least all of the body ( ie negative values are ignored ).
  • The Create Box option only sets the dimensions of the box, not its origin. To alter its origin it is necessary to adjust its Placement in the treeview.
