Adding a 3D Shape Node

To add a 3D Shape node:

  1. Do one of the following:
    • Drag the 3D Shape node from the node bin and place it in the schematic.
    • Double-click the 3D Shape node. You do not need to be in Schematic view to add a node in this manner.
    The 3D Shape node is added to the schematic with its own parent axis. A GMask node (and axis) are also added as children of the 3D Shape node.
  2. Draw Shape is automatically selected in the Tools box, and you can create a GMask shape (open or closed spline).
  3. Double-click the 3D Shape node in the schematic to display the 3D Shape menu, as well as the GMask menu.
  4. In the GMask menu's Spline tab, use the Hole button to decide if the spline is seen by the 3D Shape node as a hole or filled.
  5. Optional: Select media in the Media list, and click Media Projection in the 3D Shape menu to add a Diffuse (and Axis) node to the 3D Shape node with its mapping type set to Projection.
  6. Use the settings in the 3D Shape menu to extrude the spline geometry.
