Geometry Overview
The geometry which defines a Slide3 model can be created and edited with many different options.
As of Slide3 2019, for mining coordinates (large coordinates) It is no longer necessary to move models to the origin.
We can add geometry using the following tools:
- Import/Export various file formats
- Create External Geometry
- Add Polylines
- Add 3D Primitive Geometry, such as boxes, cylinders or cones
- Create Surfaces From Selected geometry
- Reconstruct Surface from Table values entered by the user
- Extract Bounding Curve from surfaces
- 2D Section Export for Slide to create a Slide file from a plane section of your Slide3 model
- Planar Section Tool to extract polylines from geometry using a cutting plane
- Slope Wizard
We can also edit geometry shapes by applying the following tools:
- Extrude/Sweep/Loft operations to add depth dimensions
- Transform operations such as translate and rotate
- 3D Boolean operations to combine, remove or divide geometry
