Edit the 3D Sketch of a Profile

Profile Structure Design

Usage examples

  • The function is intended for profiles that have not been added to the guide curve.
  • The function opens the 3D sketch of a profile for editing.
  • You can edit the length of the 3D sketch, position the sketch and thereby the profile in other geometry, etc.

Edit the 3D Sketch of a Profile

  1. Select the profile to be edited.
  2. Start the function
    • On the tab, in the Cross Section group, select 3D Sketch.
    • or the context-sensitive function: Edit Profile > 3D Sketch.
  3. Edit the 3D sketch, for example as follows:
    • Double-click the dimension figure of the distance constraint and enter a new value for the length.
    • Position the sketch to other geometry using geometric constraints.
      • Note that in this case, the tool strip function Use external geometry with sketch constraints must be selected.
    • You must not delete the 3D sketch (line) of the profile part.
  4. To end editing the 3D sketch, select the context-sensitive function: OK

Example

  • First, the distance constraint of the 3d sketch has been modified.
  • Then, the 3d sketch line is positioned with the coincidence constraint to the guide line of the base.
