Notes:
Method 3 – Feature Selection Tool
Geomet has a selection tool that is invoked with the “~” key
press or menu command “Construct ⇒ Feature Selector”.
This is a dialog that extracts a listing from the current
inspection of all, or filtered featured. Select from this list the
features you would like the construction command to work
with. For more information regarding the Feature Selector,
please refer to that chapter.
Bisect
The Bisector routine determines the bisecting or symmetry
feature between compatible features. For example, bisecting
two non-parallel planes will result in two alternative
bisecting planes (90° apart). The operator may then select
one.
The Bisect Command is activated by:
Keyboard:
a
Menu:
Construct ⇒ Bisect
The Bisect command requires two compatible features to
create a solution. Should it determine the features do not
follow the compatibility rules an error message will display
and the command will abort.
Intersect
The Intersect command determines the characteristics of the
intersection of two compatible features. Intersection works
with the following combinations:
Line ⇒ Line
Circle ⇒ Circle
Plane ⇒ Plane
Cylinder ⇒ Plane
Axis ⇒ Axis
Line ⇒ Circle
Line ⇒ Plane
Sphere ⇒ Plane
Cone ⇒ Plane
