Wrapping lets you add extra detail, complex 3D logos, and artwork, onto surface or solid models by wrapping the detail onto, or around, the shape of the model. For example, adding artwork to standard jewellery molds, adding grip texture to plastic moldings, or adding detail and logos to shoe soles. For areas where an electrode is used for manufacture, the wrap detail can be applied to either the actual part or directly onto a previously extracted electrode body.
The type of wrapping strategy depends on the shape of the base model and how you want the relief to appear.
The following options start the Wrap Wizard:
- Wireframe tab > From Selection panel > Wrap > Unwrap — unwraps curves from surfaces and solids.
- Wireframe tab > From Selection panel > Wrap > Wrap — wraps wireframe objects onto surfaces and solids.
- Surface tab > Create panel > Wrap — wraps objects onto a triangle, surface, or solid creating a wrap with no dependencies.
- Solid tab > Feature panel > Wrap — wraps objects onto a solid creating an entry in the solid feature tree. This feature can be modified as required.
The Wrap Wizard changes automatically into the Rewrap Wizard depending on the stage of the wrapping process you have reached.
