M. To add a density line or point

Notes:
  • Density points can not be added to any edge. If an specific point is needed then it must be added to the external edge, opening edge, or region boundary.
  • Density lines may not intersect. However, multiple density lines can be connected to an individual point (i.e., breaking density lines up into smaller segments where they would otherwise intersect).
  1. In the Parametric Models dialog Mesh Models list, click either:

    the Density Lines leaf

    or

    the Density Points leaf

  2. Click Add.

    The drawing will change to display just the mesh region. The right hand side of the screen will display a grid with the grid line settings and spacing.

    Tip: The various viewing options and zoom options on top of the screen can be used to obtain a convenient view of the panel.
  3. (Optional) Edit the grid positions using the Snap Node/Panel
  4. Either:

    Click the start and points of a density line.

    or

    Click a density point.

    The mesh is regenerated to account for the new density line or point
  5. Repeat step 4 as many times as needed.
  6. To stop adding density points or density lines, press the <Esc> key.
Tip: To delete a parametric mesh, opening, density line, or density point, select that entry within the Parametric Models dialog and click Delete.
