The pattern dynamically updates as you make changes, you can even adjust the size and position of your original "Tile" at any timeĤ0 models have been created specifically for use with this new tool and are supplied with the software as part of the included Clip Art. This provides powerful control to make an incredible number of variations to your pattern and create some very interesting effects. The Create Texture Area form lets you specify the spacing and overlap of each tile, enter a "Shift" for every other row or column of your pattern and control the "Symmetry" or reflection of the tiles. It requires a single "Tile" component and optionally one or more closed boundary vectors which define the region in which the tiling should take place.
This feature lets you create a repeating pattern or texture. The variety of 3D forms that can be created with this tool vary from simple linear extrusions all the way to extremely complex ornate woven shapes and it certainly qualifies as one of the most powerful tools in the program. The tool includes many options to help you control the way the shape flows and the final result you get. In addition to the standard extrude the function has an option to automatically create a weaved effect where the drive rail/s overlap.
Once generated the shape is added to the Component Tree and can be further edited and combined with other shapes to make your finished 3D part. This allows you to quickly define the shape you actually want. Your 3D design updates instantly showing you what your model looks like while experimenting with different shapes, heights, tilts, fades and combine modes. These shapes can be controlled by adjusting angle and height values. The Create Shape modeling function Instantly adds 3D shape to a closed vector outline based on either a Curved, Angular or Planar (flat) profile. This influences the positioning of the vectors and models so that geometry on each side is created in the appropriate positions relative to the opposite side. You can change that, retrospectively.ĭefine how you want to flip the material for double-sided projects from the Job Setup dialog. In the Job Setup dialog, you can pick whether you want to create a single-sided, double-sided or a rotary job. It avoids the need to have 2 sessions, one for each side. This adds the ability to create double-sided projects in the same session. Import Toolpaths from other Vectric Programs.Form Tools - custom shaped cutter profiles.
