Select tools
There are a variety of Select tools to enable you to select only those entities that are of immediate interest to you.
Modeling Plane
The modeling plane is used to create or relocate parting planes and to facilitate the modeling of cooling channels and runner systems.
Nodes
Modeling nodes are a type of modeling entity that are used to define a coordinate position in space. For example, nodes are used to identify the end points of a curve, or to model runner systems.
Curves
A curve is a geometric line on your model. Curves can be straight lines between two points, or arcs comprising three or more points. Along with nodes and regions, curves are the building blocks of a model.
Regions
A region is an area or group of adjacent entities. Regions may include both planar and non-planar surfaces.
Utilities
The tools in the Utilities panel enable you to manipulate model entities
