Example of 3D Transformations Usage

To create transformations it is possible to use geometric links. The Transformations command works with the following nodes: vertices, edges, faces, 3D paths, profiles, 3D nodes and LCS.

For example, lets change the location of the chair (1) by aligning it with desk (2) in the existing 3D layout.

First, invoke the Transformations command. Next, select the chair (1) for transformation. After that on the manipulator select the X-axis along which the translation will be carried out. Next, with the help of the cursor on select the midpoint of the desk's (2) edge to which the X-coordinate of the chair being moved will be linked. When pressing the chair (1) will move to a new location.

     

In the Transformations tab a new recording will appear.

Let's finish input .

From now on changing the desk's position will make the chair change its position in accordance with a new location of the desk's edge midpoint.
