Modify CAD surfaces tool - Vector direction

The Modify CAD Surfaces - Vector tool allows you to move CAD faces along a vector.

To move CAD face(s) along a vector:

  1. Click Geometry tab > Selection panel > CAD Face to select CAD Face only.
  2. Select the face/s you want to modify on your model.
  3. Click (Geometry tab > Modify panel > Modify CAD Surfaces > Vector).
  4. If you wish to preserve the shape of fillets or chamfers in the faces adjacent to those you selected, click the Search button to find the fillets and/or chamfers automatically. You can adjust this list by selecting different faces in the graphics display, or typing face IDs into the Fillets/chamfers list.
  5. Enter the Vector (x,y,z) coordinates that describe the direction and distance you wish to move the selected faces. You may enter negative values.
    Note: For best results, make small adjustments compared to the minimum thickness of the face.
  6. Click Apply.
Note: This tool is supported for CAD models only.
