Part Builder/ro

Description

A tool to create more complex shapes from various parametric geometric primitives.

This tool will let you create shapes by creating

Edge from two vertices
Face from vertices
1. Select vertices bounding the face in the 3D view
2. Select if face should be planar
3. Click on Create
4. Object will be created in 3D view and will be listed in tree view
Wire from edges introduced in 0.18##Select a set of adjacent edges in the 3D view
1. Click on Create
Face from edges
1. Select a closed set of edges bounding the face in the 3D view
2. Select if face should be planar
3. Click on Create
4. Object will be created in 3D view and will be listed in tree view
Shell from faces
1. Select faces in the 3D view
2. Select if the shape should be refined
3. Select if all faces should be included in shell
4. Click on Create
5. Object will be created in 3D view and will be listed in tree view
Solid from shell
1. Select if the shape should be refined
2. Click on Create
3. Object will be created in 3D view and will be listed in tree view

There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Shape Builder button.
- Select the Part → Shape Builder option from the menu.
The Create Shape task panel opens.
Select the shape creation mode and optionally press the Box Selection button to use box selection instead of picking geometrical entities one by one:
- Edge from vertices
  1. Select two vertices in the 3D View.
- Wire from edges
  1. Select connected edges in the 3D View.
  2. Optionally check Planar for a planar wire.
- Face from vertices
  1. Select vertices bounding the face in the 3D View.
  2. Optionally check Planar for a planar face.
- Face from edges
  1. Select edges enclosing the face in the 3D View.
  2. Optionally check Planar for a planar face.
- Shell from faces
  1. Select faces in the 3D View.
  2. Optionally check Refine shape to refine the shape.
  3. Optionally check All faces to include all faces in shell.
- Solid from shell
  1. Select a shell in the 3D View.
  2. Optionally check Refine shape to refine the shape.
Press the Create button.
The object is created.
Optionally create additional objects.
Press the Close button to close the task panel and finish the command.
