Precise part (B-rep)

A part built from sketches and operations with history: edge fillet and chamfer, shell, mirror, patterns.

How to add

The operations are in the Parts menu in 3D mode. They apply to the selected body.

Properties

History
The list of operations on the part. Any of them can be changed and the part recomputes.
X, Y, Z and rx, ry, rz
Position in metres and rotation in degrees about the axes.
Material
Colour, metalness, roughness and opacity.
Physics
The Physics tab: body type, mass, friction, bounce, initial velocities.

Tips

  • Start with a dimensioned sketch and add the rest with operations.
  • Several separate profiles in one sketch make one body. To pick them one by one, use Modify → Split into parts.
  • To choose edges for a fillet, switch on edge picking; Esc ends it.
