Slicing

This task shows how to slice a polygonal mesh using curves and scans.
Open the Pin3.CATPart document.

  1. Click Slice .

    The Slice dialog box is displayed.

  2. Select a polygonal mesh.

  3. Select one or more curves or scans.

    The curves do not need to lie on the mesh: if they do not lie, they will be projected onto the mesh using a normal projection, before the slicing operation.

  4. Click Apply.

    All boundaries (free edges) are highlighted.

  5. Click OK.

    A hole is created in the polygonal mesh.
     
    A refinement will be performed on the mesh in the area of the slicing entity (curve or scan).
