Make Wire

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifCreate a single wire from selected edges on the workplane.

 

Methodology

 

 

 

 

Create a single wire from edges within the Tolerance.

[Tolerance] is the allowed error criterion that determines whether the edges are connected. For example when the distance between the edges is 2.0e-006, although the value is not zero, it can be made into a single wire by setting the error as 0.0001 (distance larger than the value between edges).

After the operation is performed, a single wire remains and the selected edges are deleted.

 

Geometry set

Register the wire on the Geometry set. The user can specify the name of the Geometry set.

A wire is a concept of collective edges and has these edges as its sub-shape. Because the wire is a set of edges, the user can use commands such as Extend to create shells, a set of faces created by individual edges. For these reasons, it is not appropriate to use the create wire function when creating a face by extruding multiple edges. The geometry shape hierarchy is as follows.
