Face Modeling Functions

Advanced Face Modeling Package

General

  • The majority of the functions in the Faces group are part of the basic software package.
  • Some functions require a separate add-on option, including:
    • Fill a gap.
    • Create tangential faces.
    • In Deform, some of the functionality is not available without an add-on option.
  • You can create the face model yourself and then turn it into a volume later.
  • You can also use face modeling functions to work with imported models.

Add Faces

Copy a Face

Remove Faces

Flip a Face's Direction

Make Tangential Faces

  • This functionality requires the Advanced Face Modeling Functions option.
  • You can create a tangential face by selecting faces in the model, which will then be replaced by faces that are tangential to the surroundings.
  • Create Tangential Faces

Fill in the Gaps Between Faces

  • This functionality requires the Advanced Face Modeling Functions option.
  • You can fill a gap in a model with a tangential face. A gap is a face missing from the model.
  • Fill a Gap

Move Faces

  • You can move faces in such a way that the adjacent faces continue in a natural manner and no new faces are created.
  • Move Faces

Tweak Faces

  • You can fit the faces together by selecting the faces and trimming them to other surfaces in such a way that the adjacent faces continue naturally. You can utilize the free faces of other parts in the modeling.
  • Tweak Faces of One Part to Another

Extend Faces

  • You can extend a face shape that has or could have been created by sweeping.
  • Extend Faces

Offset Faces

  • You can define the offset to the face selected from the model.
  • Offset Faces
    Single Face Several Faces

Stretch a Part

Rotate Part

Bend a Part

  • You can bend the model according to the specified radius or angle around a particular bending axis in proportion to the reference level.
  • Bending

  • You can define the offset to the face selected from the model.

Deform the Face of a Part

  • You can deform the face of a part by stretching the lines or points generated on the face.
  • Deform Faces
  • Some of this functionality requires the Advanced Face Modeling Functions option.
