Modifying Forms

Forms can be modified directly by using the 3D control arrows, and by adding, deleting, and modifying edges and profiles.

When a form is selected in the conceptual design environment, the following modification tools are available.

Panel	Tool	Description
Selection	Modify	Complete an action in the drawing area.
Draw	Line tools	Create unconstrained and reference-based forms. See Unconstrained and Referenced-Based Forms.
Element	Element Properties	Defines instance and type properties.
Mode	Edit Profile	Modifies the sketch on which the form is based. See Modifying Form Profiles.
Form	Create Form	Creates solid forms. See Accessing the Create Form Tool.
	Solid Form	Creates a solid form or changes a void form to a solid. See Creating Solid Forms.
	Void Form	Creates a void form or changes a solid form to a void. Creating Void Forms.
Divide	Divide Surface	Divides a surface. See Rationalizing Surfaces.
Form Element	X-Ray	Shows/hides the underlying geometric skeleton of a form, making it easier to select form elements. See X-Ray Mode.
	Add Edge	Adds edges to a form. See Adding an Edge to a Form.
	Add Profile	Adds profiles to a form. See Adding a Profile to a Form.
	Dissolve	Removes the surfaces of a form. See Dissolving Form Elements.
	Lock Profiles	Keeps the form locked to the top and bottom profiles. See Profiles.
	Unlock Profiles	Unlocks the form. See Profiles.
	Pick New Host	Moves the form to a new host. See Rehosting Forms.
