Create Node

Create node

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

Node

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 nodes in two different formats:

BRep​

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

Usage​

Coordinates​

Coordinates of the node that the user wants to add on the X/Y/Z axis

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 sphere created in BRep Geometry. This has to be selected before exporting the model as it cannot be changed afterwards.
