Model and Process Parts (3-D)

You will find the functions for the modelling and processing 3-D parts, e.g. Transform, Bore, Boolean operations etc., in the 3-D Standard tab or in the context menu which you activate by right-clicking a part (in Object snap mode).

You can apply the processing functions both to individual 3-D parts and – to some extent - to part lists. A part list here is a temporary grouping of several 3-D parts for the purposes of processing them in one step.

One part of the drawing is always the active part. This part is displayed in red in the part structure display of the ICN. The HiCAD processing functions of the toolbars usually refer to this part, unless a part list is active. Dimensionings and texts inserted into the drawing, for example, are also always assigned to the active part.

Many functions allow multiple selection of parts. The desired parts are combined temporarily into a so-called part list and can then be processed, e.g. transformed, in one step. All parts in a part list are highlighted in colour, both in the ICN and in the drawing.

The following function groups for the modelling and processing of parts are available on the 3-D Standard tab:

In addition, you can find the Exchange 3-D Part function in the Insert Part function group of the Drawing tab.
