MoveEdge

Moves a polysurface edge.

Steps:

1. Select edges.

2. Pick a point to move from.

3. Pick a point to move to.

Notes:

• The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face shape and orientation.

• All adjusted faces must be either planar or easy to stretch (extruded surfaces in the direction of stretch).  

• Holes in the adjusted faces generally do not move or stretch.

Options

DirectionConstraint

None

No restriction to direction.

FirstFaceNormal

Restricts movement to the normal direction of the first face selected.

SecondFaceNormal

Restricts movement to the normal direction of the second face selected.

AverageFacesNormal

Restricts movement to an average of the normal directions of the first and second faces.

Vertical

Restricts movement vertical to the construction plane.

MoveUntrimmedEdge

Moves an edge of an untrimmed polysurface face.

The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face shape and orientation.

Steps:

1. Select an edge of an untrimmed face.

2. Pick a point to move from.

3. Pick a point to move to.

Notes:

• The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face shape and orientation.

• All adjusted faces must be either planar or easy to stretch (extruded surfaces in the direction of stretch).  

• Holes in the adjusted faces generally do not move or stretch.

• Stretched faces have to be untrimmed.

MoveFace

Moves a polysurface face.

The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face orientation.

Moves faces on relatively simple polysurfaces such as boxy planar shapes to adjust things like wall locations in a building or planes in a mechanical part.

Steps:

1. Select a face.

2. Pick a point to move from.

3. Pick a point to move to.

Notes:

• The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face shape and orientation.

• All adjusted faces must be either planar or easy to stretch (extruded surfaces in the direction of stretch).  

• Holes in the adjusted faces generally do not move or stretch.

Options

DirectionConstraint

None

Face can be moved any direction.

Normal

Face can only be moved in the positive or negative normal direction.

ToBoundary

The face is moved until the side surfaces intersect the boundary object and the face itself is replaced by a trimmed section of the boundary object.

DeleteBoundary

Yes/No

MoveUntrimmedFace

Moves an untrimmed polysurface face.

The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face orientation.

Steps:

1. Select a face.

2. Pick a point to move from.

3. Pick a point to move to.

Notes:

• The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face shape and orientation.

• All adjusted faces must be either planar or easy to stretch (extruded surfaces in the direction of stretch).  

• Holes in the adjusted faces generally do not move or stretch.

• Faces adjacent to the moved face must also be untrimmed.

FoldFace

Rotates selected polysurface faces around an axis line.

The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face orientation.

Steps:

1. Select a surface.

2. Pick the start of the folding axis.

3. Pick the end of the folding axis.

4. Pick rotation angles for face A and B.

Notes:

• The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face shape and orientation.

• All adjusted faces must be either planar or easy to stretch (extruded surfaces in the direction of stretch).  

• Holes in the adjusted faces generally do not move or stretch.

Options

Symmetrical

Fold both faces at the same angle.

ScaleEdge

Changes the length of planar surface or polysurface face edges.

The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face shape and orientation.

Steps:

1. Select surface edges.

2. Pick the origin base point.

3. Pick or enter the scale factor.

Notes:

• The surrounding joined surfaces are adjusted to accommodate the new face shape and orientation.

• All adjusted faces must be either planar or easy to stretch (extruded surfaces in the direction of stretch).  

• Holes in the adjusted faces generally do not move or stretch.

Options

ScaleDimension

1D

Scales the edge in one direction.

2D

Scales the edge in two directions.

3D

Scales the edge in three directions.
