Defining geometric constraints for existing objects



Selecting an existing object the constraints will be defined for


Selecting a constraint, in this case the object will be constrained at a distance from the selected patch.


Defining a distance from the patch - a parametric value is selected instead of a constant.


Selecting a constraint for another object, the selected method will constrain object at a distance from a solid.


Selecting a solid - the previously selected object will be fixed at a defined distance. The defined distance is a distance between the two grooves.


Selecting other solids for constraint definitions. Constraints may be defined for multiple objects. Any changes of position within the Boolean tree are performed for the entire constrained group at a time.


Finishing constraint definitions for a pair of holes. The holes are constrained with two types of constraints. First, they are fixed at a distance from selected patches. Second, the axis of the hole is directed against the normal of the selected patch and the insertion point of the hole is fixed on the surface of this patch.
