Drawing lines
_Offset [+]create a line parallel to another, based on a defined measure;
_Fillet [+]join two curves at their intersection point;
_Join [+]join several curves into a continuous line;
_Trim [+]delete parts of curves, based on other reference lines;
ㄴ (1) select cutting object;
ㄴ (2) select parts to cut;
_Split [+]divide parts of curves, based on other reference lines;
ㄴ (1) select object to divide;
ㄴ (2) select reference line which makes the division;
_Extend [+]extend curves to other boundary lines;
ㄴ alternatively, you can extend the lines freely, without a limit;
_CloseCrv [+]close a curve at its open points;
_SimplifyCrv [+]simplifie the geometry of lines and curves;
_InsertControlPoint [+]add point(s) to a line;
Create surfaces
_Loft [+]create connection surface between curves;
_PlanarSrf [+]allows you to create surfaces from curves;
_ExtrudeCrv [+]create a surface from curve(s) by extruding it/them perpendicularly;
_ExtrudeSrf [+]create a surface from another surface(s) by extruding it/them in a given direction;
_OffsetSrf [+]create a surface from another surface(s) by extruding it/them perpendicularly;
Control surfaces
_PointsOn [+]display points of an object or surface;
_MeshSplit [+]split parts of surfaces, based on other reference objects:
ㄴ Objects to Split = terrain > Cutting objects = sup. auxiliaries (extruded curves)
_MeshTrim [+]erase parts of surfaces, based on other reference objects;
_BooleanUnion [+]join two or more surfaces into a single closed surface, deleting the common/extra geometry;
_BooleanDifference [+]delete, from one or more surfaces, the geometry shared with another surface(s);
ㄴ (1) select the surface(s) from which you want to delete;
ㄴ (2) select the geometry you want to subtract;
_CreateSolid [+]close surfaces;
_Sweep1 [+]create surfaces from a series of curves:
ㄴ (1) a curve that defines an edge of the surface;
ㄴ (2) a series of profile curves that define the cross sections of the surface.
_Sweep2 [+]create surfaces from a series of curves:
ㄴ (1) two curves that define edges of the surface;
ㄴ (2) a series of profile curves that define the cross sections of the surface.
_ArrayCrv [+]copy elements along a curve, according to a given spacing between elements;
_ApplyPlanarMapping [+]apply an image to a surface according to a predefined boundary.
