Introducere

Acest tutorial este aici pentru a vă învăța cum se folosește Atelierul Part Workbench. Veți exersa:

  • inserare primitive geometrice
  • schimbarea valorilor primitivelor
  • utilizarea plasamentului
  • realizarea de operații booleene

This tutorial was originally written by Roland Frank (†2017, r-frank), and it was rewritten and illustrated by vocx.

This tutorial is here to teach you how to use the Part Workbench.

The Part Workbench was the first workbench developed. It provides the basic geometrical elements that can be used as building blocks for other workbenches. The Part Workbench is meant to be used in a traditional constructive solid geometry (CSG) workflow. For a more modern workflow using sketches, pads, and features, use the PartDesign Workbench.

Insert primitive cubes

2. Insert a primitive cube by clicking on Box.

2.1. Select Cube in the tree view.
2.2. Change the dimensions in the Data tab of the property editor.
2.3. Change Length to 90 mm.
2.4. Change Width to 90 mm.

Change visual properties

5. The previous operations create a smaller cube inside a bigger cube. To visualize this, we can modify the View properties in the property editor.

5.1. Select Cube001, the smaller cube, in the tree view, and change the color. In the View tab, click on the Shape Color value to open the Select color dialog, then choose a green color; also change the value of Line Width to 2.0.
5.2. Select Cube, the larger cube, in the tree view. In the View tab, change the value of Transparency to 70.

Solid cube inside another solid cube

Insert primitive cylinders

6. Insert a primitive cylinder by clicking on Cylinder.

6.1. Select Cylinder in the tree view.
6.2. Change the dimensions in the Data tab of the property editor.
6.3. Change Radius to 27.5 mm.
6.4. Change Height to 120 mm.
6.5. Open the Placement dialog.
6.6. Change Z to -60 mm.
6.7. Press the OK button to close the dialog.

7. Repeat the process, inserting a second cylinder by clicking on Cylinder.

7.1. The second cylinder will be created with the same name, but with an additional number to distinguish the object.
7.2. Select Cylinder001 in the tree view, and change the dimensions and placement like with the previous object.
7.3. Change Radius to 27.5 mm.
7.4. Change Height to 120 mm.
7.5. Open the Placement dialog.
7.6. Change Y to 60 mm.
7.7. Change the Rotation to Rotation axis with angle; Axis to X (by setting the X, Y and Z values of the axis inputboxes to 1, 0 and 0 respectively), and Angle to 90 deg.
7.8. Press the OK button to close the dialog.

8. Insert another cylinder. This time create a duplicate so that the radius and height don't have to be changed, only its placement.

8.1. Select Cylinder001 in the tree view, and go to the menu Edit → Duplicate selection. This will create Cylinder002.
8.2. Open the Placement dialog.
8.3. Change X to -60 mm, and change Y back to 0 mm.
8.4. Change the Rotation to Rotation axis with angle; Axis to Y, and Angle to 90 deg.
8.5. Press the OK button to close the dialog.

Change visual properties

9. The previous operations create three cylinders that intersect with each other, and also intersect the cubes. To visualize this better we can modify the View properties in the property editor.

9.1. Select Cube001, the smaller cube, in the tree view, and change the transparency. In the View tab, change the value of Transparency to 70.
9.2. Select Cylinder, in the View tab, click on the Shape Color value to open the Select color dialog, then choose a red color.
9.3. Select Cylinder001, in the View tab, click on the Shape Color value to open the Select color dialog, then choose a blue color.
9.4. Select Cylinder002, in the View tab, click on the Shape Color value to open the Select color dialog, then choose a pink color.
9.5. Select the three cylinders, in the View tab also change the value of Line Width to 2.0.

Solid cylinders that intersect themselves and the solid cubes.

Fuse and cut

10. In the tree view, select Cube001 (the inner, smaller cube), and the tree cylinders, then press Fuse. This will create a Fusion object.

11. Then perform a boolean cut of the Cube (larger cube) and the new Fusion object.

11.1. In the tree view select Cube first, and then Fusion.
11.2. Then press Cut. This will create a Cut object.
Note: the order in which you select the objects is important for the cut operation. The base object is selected first, and the subtracting object comes at the end.
11.3. If the colors look strange, select the new Cut object, go to the View tab, click on the Shape Color value to open the Select color dialog, then choose a gray color; also change the value of Line Width to 2.0.

Hollow shape produced from cutting a cube and three cylinders from a bigger cube.

Insert primitive cubes to cut the corners of the partial solid

Now we'll create more cubes that will be used as cutting tools to trim the corners of the previously obtained Cut object.

12. Click on Box.

12.1. Select Cube002 in the tree view, and change the dimensions and placement.
12.2. Change Length to 140 mm.
12.3. Change Width to 112 mm.
12.4. Change Height to 112 mm.
12.5. Open the Placement dialog.
12.6. Change X to -70 mm.
12.7. Change Y to -56 mm.
12.8. Change Z to -56 mm.

13.4. Change Height to 180 mm.
13.5. Open the Placement dialog.
13.6. Change X to -90 mm.
13.7. Change Y to -90 mm.
13.8. Change Z to -90 mm.
13.9. Press OK.

We'll duplicate the previous two objects again to use once more as cutting objects.

14. Select only Cube002 in the tree view, and go to Edit → Duplicate selection. This will create Cube004.

15. Select only Cube003 in the tree view, and go to Edit → Duplicate selection. This will create Cube005.

16. To visualize this better we can modify the View properties in the property editor.

16.1. Select the Cut object, in the View tab, click on the Shape Color value to open the Select color dialog, then choose a blue color.
16.2. Select all new cubes, Cube002, Cube003, Cube004, and Cube005, in the View tab, change the value of Transparency to 80.
