Geometry Overview

The geometry which defines a Slide3 model can be created and edited with many different options.

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
