Description

This tool creates a projection of the selected object (Source) in the 3D view.

Usage

  1. Select an object in the 3D view or in the project tree
  2. from the TechDraw menu, click Project shape
  3. set the desired options in the Task Dialog
  4. click OK


A projection object (objectname_proj) will be added to the project. For subsequent projections of the same Source object, the projection object will be named objectname_projXXX, where XXX is a three digit number.

Properties

Data

Projection

  • DataSource (Link): The shape to project.
  • DataDirection (Vector): The direction of the projection. This is the normal vector of the projection plane.
  • DataVCompound (Bool): If true, visible sharp edges are shown. Must be true if any of the other Data... VCompound properties is true.
  • DataRg1 Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible smooth edges are shown.
  • DataRg NLine VCompound (Bool): If true, visible sewn edges are shown.
  • DataOut Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible outline edges are shown.
  • DataIso Line VCompound (Bool): If true, visible isoparameters are shown.
  • DataHCompound (Bool): If true, invisible sharp edges are shown. Must be true if any of the other Data... HCompound properties is true.
  • DataRg1 Line HCompound (Bool): If true, invisible smooth edges are shown
  • DataRg NLine HCompound (Bool): If true, invisible sewn edges are shown.
  • DataOut Line HCompound (Bool): If true, invisible outline edges are shown.
  • DataIso Line HCompound (Bool): If true, invisible isoparameters are shown.
