Create Edge

Create Edge

This function allows the user to add an additional edge to an existing lattice structure. Revolve

Geometry-Types​

When editing Lattice-structures, the user has the choice of what type of structures to edit with (see the convert tool). Hence why we can create edges in two different formats:

BRep​

This will create a 3D Cylinder as a BRep definition. BRep Models can be useful for 3D interactions and exporting but the processing time is fairly slow.

Sketch-Lines​

This will create a 3D construction Sketch-Line within the selected sketch. Sketch-Lines are a representation of the lattices structure as 3D construction lines.

Usage​

Start Node​

Node that will be used to determine the starting point of the edge

End Node​

Node that will be used to determine the ending point of the edge

Sketch​

(only visible when dealing with Sketch-Line geometry)

When in 'Sketch-Lines' mode, the sketch holding the geometry must be selected

Radius​

(only visible when dealing with BRep geometry)

This controls the radius of the cylinder created in BRep Geometry. This has to be selected before exporting the model as it cannot be changed afterwards.
