Modeling Tools

When you click the Actions icon from the Application toolbar, the Libraries toolbar below displays the Modeling Tools available.

To activate a modeling tool just click its icon and follow the program console prompts.

To skip all console prompts, use the Win / Mac shortcut. Default values will be used. Clicking a new modeling tool will produce the same result.

To abort a modeling tool previously activated, press Esc. Any eventually created object will be deleted.

To recall the last modeling tool activated, use the Win / Mac shortcut.

Any Modeling Tool has a number of parameters and commands accessible through the Modeling Tool panel, another fundamental part of solidThinking (It appears when you select Modeling Tool item from the Managers main menu). This panel can be resized and positioned anywhere in the screen. The program will remember its last size and position.

Content of the Modeling Tool panel changes depending on what you select.
