Conceptual Push-Pull Modeling Tools

3D Push-Pull modeling technology is available for Building forms. Push-Pull technology enables you to quickly create and modify Building solid forms interactively.

Most useful for conceptual design, these modeling tools enable you to interactively “push” and “pull” solid forms to create and modify faces, edges, and vertices. The Draw on Solid (Legacy) tool can be used to create a new edge on the face of a Building solid form. New edges can be drawn as lines, blocks, and circles, and solid forms can also be imprinted with these elements. Edges, vertices, and faces created in this manner can then be “pushed” and “pulled” using the Modify Solid Entity tool.

Push-Pull modeling converts a Building form into a SmartSolid. Building data such as part, family, and DataGroup information remains intact after this conversion takes place.

This section demonstrates how conceptual modeling tools can be used to create new edges, vertices, and faces on Building solid forms.
