Utility

When the Design Window is open, the following options are available for selection on the Triangulation tab, in the Utility group:

• Click Export Triangulations to export triangulations and write each individual triangulation to its own file. (Ctrl+Q,E)

  

• Click Repair Solids to repair a set of solids. (Ctrl+T,R)

  

• Click Interrogate Block Model to interrogate a block model with a set of triangulations. (Ctrl+I,B)

  

• Click Set Attributes by Direction to set incremental attribute values for design elements located along a vector, in the direction and at the gradient specified. (Ctrl+Alt+A,D)

  

• Click Set Attributes by Line Intersection to set attribute values according to the sequence in which the design elements you have selected intersect with a line. (Ctrl+Alt+A,I)

  

• Click Simplify Triangulations to reduce the complexity of selected triangulations. (Ctrl+Q,B)

  

• Click Verify Triangulation to verify a set of triangulations. (Ctrl+Q,V)

  

• Click Assign Attributes by Polygon Regions to assign attributes to design elements that fall completely within or partially within selected polygon regions. (Ctrl+Alt+A,P)

  

• Click Assign Attribute by Solid Regions to assign attributes to design elements that fall within selected solid regions. (Ctrl+Alt+A,S)

  

• Click Assign Attribute by Nearest Centroid to assign attributes to design elements from the closest region element. (Ctrl+Alt+A,N)

  

• Click Assign Attributes Above or Below Solids to assign attributes to design elements that lie above or below solid regions. (Ctrl+Alt+A,A)

  

• Click Copy Attribute Values to copy the attribute values from a source design element to one or more destination elements. (Ctrl+Alt+A,C)

  

• Click Create Boundary from Plane to get the boundary/hull of the triangle meshes that intersect with a plane. (Ctrl+Q,W)

  

• Click Create Triangulation Intersection Outline to create an outline of the intersections produced by a set of input triangulations.
