To Apply a Coincident 3D Constraint

  1. Select the Coincident 3D Constraint tool (Drawing > Constraints > 3D ).

  2. (Optional) Set the Orientation if required.

    Left: Coincident faces with Facing Opposite Orientation | Right: Coincident faces with Aligned Orientation

  3. Select a 3D element (solid or surface).

    The selected 3D element is highlighted.

  4. Select the face, edge or vertex of the 3D element you want to constrain (reset if a face (or entity) is behind another face (or entity) until the desired one is selected).

    The selected face, edge or vertex is highlighted.

  5. Select another 3D element and then select the desired face, edge or vertex of this 3D element.

    A preview of the constrained geometries is shown.

    Note: In case of constrained faces, the result will keep the two face in the same plane.
  6. Enter a data point to accept the previewed constraining.

    Applying 3D coincident constraint with Orientation set to Aligned. Left: By selecting vertex. Middle: By selecting edge. Right: By selecting face.
