Extract

 

Overview

IMG_C_ICON_DOT.gifExtract a geometry shape (face, line, point) of the selected shape to create an independent shape.

 

Methodology

Select the geometry shape (face, line, point) to extract. A face can be extracted from a face, a line from a face and a point from a line. If the extracted shapes are within the error range, check the [Merge] option to merge the shapes into a single shape. For example, an object that is extracted with two adjacent faces, such that the error between the outlines is small, can create a single shell without any free edges.

 

Geometry set

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

Disassembling a face can be used when an edge of an existing face is needed during the modeling process. In this case, the face is deleted but using the extract command leaves the face intact and extracts the independent edge.
