Move Surface

3-D FFS > Transform > Move

Use this function to transform surfaces. The functions correspond to the same-named Transformfunctions of the 3-D Standard tab.

Move surface

Options for vector specification

Move surface, Constant surface, Via two 3-D points

Enables the moving of a surface by specifying the start and end point of the displacement.

Clicking opens the Move pull-down menu with the following functions:

As above, but, in addition, the length of the displacement vector can be specified.

Identification of an edge that exists in the drawing. The direction of the displacement vector is determined by the position of the identification point. If the identification point lies to the left of the midpoint of the edge, the vector has a positive direction; if not, it is negative.

Perpendicular from a point to be specified to an edge to be identified.

Perpendicular from a point to a surface or its enlargement.

A surface normal. You can specify the surface by:

  • identifying two edges,
  • identifying an edge and specifying a point,
  • specifying three points,
  • defining a surface. The plane is determined by means of the normal vectors.

The vector start lies in the edge end that is closer to the 1st identification point. The vector stands perpendicular on the selected surface.

Identification of a dimensioning. The vector lies on the dimension line.

Specification of two 2-D points.

Identification of two parallel 2-D graphic elements. The perpendicular (in 2-D) is dropped from the first line to the middle of the second line.

Copies the last displacement applied to a surface to a selected surface.
