Modeling Solids in OpenBridge Modeler

For volume modeling, OpenBridge Modeler does not use Smart solids, but rather a modified version, which works faster and produces smaller graph files.

Consequently, you cannot combine OpenBridge Modeler objects and 3D solids (e.g. subtract their volumes). In case you do combine objects, there will be no errors, but nothing will happen! In order to give you the same performance, all solids have been redefined.

As these solids are real objects, they can be processed with the help of OpenBridge Modeler commands (e.g., the Drill tool). These solids can be detailed as normal component part.

Note: The component parts need a clear direction for detailing. The X-axis of the UCS valid at insertion is taken as standard. You can, however, determine the axis anew by means of the context menu Change Structural Properties.
