Description

Deforms connected faces of a 3D solid or a surface by moving and/or rotating their edges.

To specify the deformation do one of the following:

  • Specify a point in the drawing.
  • Type a value in the dynamic entry fields.
  • Hit the TAB key to switch between the distance (1) and angle (2) fields.

The edges are rotated around an axis passing through the base point (3) in the deformation direction.

Direction
Allows to specify the direction of the deformation axis. You may choose to define the direction by specifying two points in the drawing or choose one of the UCS axis.
additional Faces
Allows to select additional faces to be deformed, in addition to ones adjacent to the selected edge(s).
