Region By Ruling tool

The Region by Ruling tool allows you to create regions when you are in the process of creating a new model or adding to an existing model. To access this tool, click Region By Ruling (Geometry tab > Create panel > Regions > Region By Ruling).

The Region By Ruling Region by Ruling command is used to define a region by the two separate sets of curves that you specify. To create a region by ruling, the curves must be coplanar.

Dialog element Explanation
Select first curve In the modeling window, click on the first curve that will be used to define the new region. The region by ruling tool will create a region between the first and second curve that you select.
Select second curve In the modeling window, click on the second curve that will be used to define the new region. The region by ruling tool will create a region between the first and second curve that you select.
Automatic apply when selection complete When this checkbox is activated, the selected tool is applied automatically to the chosen mesh elements whenever all inputs have been specified.
Create as Allows you to simultaneously create a modeling entity and assign properties to it. For example
  • You can create a curve and assign runner properties to it.
  • You can create a region and assign part surface properties to it.

In some cases you have the option to Create as modeling entity. No properties will be assigned. This option may be appropriate if, for example, you are creating curves to construct a region. You must assign properties to the region, but you don't need to assign properties to the curves.

Tip: To change the properties of an entity, click Change.
Filter The filter helps you select a desired model or mesh entity. When you use a filter, the pointer will snap to the specified entity.
